I also wish to go here and there, all around the world. But when I was browsing the net, and looking at these pictures, my heart melt... I should have realize it long time ago!! That Im actually living in a place that everyone wish they had a house and settling in there..

madinat zayed..

When you said that you are going to Abu Dhabi, friends and family will start to ask you to buy the nice Abaya or the black cloak. Some would love to buy the Jubah or the long robe for man too.  But where to get the cheap and affordable Abaya/ Jubah as the Abaya that you found in the mall are expensive.. Same goes to the scarf. Where to get the nice and fashionable scarves?
I would like to recommend you a place were you can buy a cheap scarves in Abu Dhabi.. There is a mall called Madinat zayed shopping center. This mall has lots of shop selling scarf and Abaya. The Abayas are around Dhs200+++ (in the other shopping mall, the price would be Dhs1000++) they have very beautiful design here..
As for the scarf, there is shop inside Madianat Zayed and near to the internet center which sell quit cheap and assorted type of scarves.. if you would happen to visit Abu Dhabi, don’t forget to go to Madinat Zayed ya!!
P/s: for those who would like to buy more cheaper Abaya, they should go to Hamdan street.. the range of Abaya over there is between Dhs60 – Dhs100++ (the key word is, you have to bargain for the price)
the gold center is the other side of Madinat Zayed Shopping center. they are in the same building actually.

in the gold center, all of the shop only sell gold? are the price cheaper here? im not so sure about that..

more gold shops..

in front of Madinat Zayed on Friday.. you just feel like you are in India/ Pakistan/ Bangladesh... hehehe

we had our dinner here. the food court in Madinat Zayed..

just another fast food..

then we had a supper..

we had this one.. so nice!! (some time you should reward and just pamper yourself at this kind of cafe..after all you deserve some special treat rite???)

ship + sea + sea breeze..

hi dear readers.. 

How are all of you? Hope that all of you are fine.. Today i would like to write about Port Mina in Abu Dhabi. When Hubby come to here, we had the opportunity to visit this port. When I told my colleagues that we when here, they laugh at me as there is nothing much to see by the port except for the ship and the sea... As for me, I love these two the most.. It is so peaceful to look at the sea.. And the smell of the sea are just so fresh and refreshing..

the story of how we reached here was unbelievable.. we were almost lost and had to walk quit far.. soon we reached this area..

look at the color of the sea!!! I did not edited all of this picture.. the color of the sea is just like in the swimming pool.. don't you think so??

there are few of the wooden ship laying by the port.. with the flag of UAE on top of it.. just love to see these ships..

then we saw the rowing boat.. is it call rowing boat? im not so sure what is the name of this boat...

still remember my entry on the Dhow cruising? this is the dhow during the day time..

MasyaAllah!! just look at the color of the sea!! it is so clear and greenish blue.. just love it!!

more pictures of the ships and the workers..

these are the net used to catch the fishes and the seafood.. it is made from metal..

the port with the background of Abu Dhabi city... modern port I guess..

there are also a group of youngster rowing the row boat.. the teacher is in the other speed boat next to it.. teaching how to row the boat with jubah / robe?? =)

just to show how blue is the sea..

a group of duck or bird?? I cant really make up which type are they? is it a duck? but they can fly like the birds..

more on the metal net..

the port with the high building behind it..

bigger ship.. that's how we end up our port visit.. really had a great time here.. especially if we were here with the one that we love the most... =)

This is the famous and cheap fish market in Abu Dhabi.. it is located at Mina port.. Lets check it out all of the pics.. =)

the front part of the market..

 the fish monger are all male with blue t shirt.. there is no women selling fish here in the market.. here, we are charge Dhs10 if we would like them to cut the fish for us.. as you can see this market is very clean and have air condition..

 something like dry fish and dry shrimp..

 there are few shop where we can ask them to grill or cook the fish that we had just bought..
