Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

It all started with us getting to know how Sheikh Zayed liked poetry to how the memorial came to shape, how the architect connected himself with the values of Sheikh Zayed. The tour was short yet intriguing as our tour guide Abeer shared great knowledge about Sheikh Zayed and the Memorial, how platonic solids were inspired by the stars, the different kinds of trees, the national tree Ghaaf and much more, basically i liked how Abeer involved us in the conversation and the tour about Sheikh Zaye's value and vision.

Inside the Dubai mall there is a complete dinosaur (the bones of course) which is a fantastic attraction for youngs and adults.
