Our George Washington, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan (1918- 2004) was the United Arab Emirates first ruler and is held in reverence.
Now that's a garage - A real Guy Palace !
Blowing sand in the desert - looks just like snow doesn't it?

A sign of wealth is to have camels - this is out in the Western Region - in the middle of the desert.
I've been watching this building go up and as it progresses , it becomes even more lopsided - looking like it will topple any moment - which is the intent. The central core is vertical ( for the elevators) but each successive floor is cantilevered out from the one below. Great architecture and the money to indulge the architects designs. This is right next to the Exhibition Center - what we would call a convention center.
