Words fail me when I try to describe this place as it is just so beautiful and perfect in every way. You just gaze and gaze and never get enough of it. It is truly a man made wonder that was probably inspired by divine powers. Our visit was in early spring in the early morning hours when it shone in all its glory against the pale blue skies until the sun came out and touched its gold top minarets transforming it into a magical marble work of creation. There is an underground bazaar here as well and restaurants and museums that introduce it to you that have been impeccably done as well to the highest standards in the very original Abu Dhabi style. This really should be your number one place to see if you are visiting this part of the world and so worth the drive too if are visiting Dubai.
