ABU DHABI













The capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi occupies 80% of the total area of the U.A.E. Since the discovery of oil, followed by the accession of the Ruler and President His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan in 1966, economic and social development has taken off at a rapid pace.

As one of the world's most modern capital cities, it boasts a beautiful corniche, skyscrapers, beautiful mosques and magnificent fountains. The most striking feature is the lush greenery everywhere and the very impressive entrance to the city. The old fort in Diwan Amiri is restored to its original glory and is now a center for academic research. Open "souqs" have much to offer - fruit, oriental spices, rich colored fabrics and the prized Persian rugs, together with traditional and modern jewelry.

Abu DhabiMina Zayed, an island port of Abu Dhabi city in north central United Arab Emirates, situated along the Arabian Gulf. It is the centre of finance, transport, and communications for a rich petroleum-producing region. It is the site of an international airport and an artificial deep-water port at Mina Zayed. Urban development projects have been important in relieving a housing shortage caused by rapid growth since the late 1960s.

The main thoroughfare is the 7-kilometre (4-mile) long Corniche-a landscaped, seafront promenade. Abu Dhabi is the site of a research institute and a large sports centre. The settlement was founded in the 1760s and in 1795 became the seat of rulers of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The town had only local significance until the discovery of vast oil reserves in the area in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 1971 the city was made the federal capital of the newly formed United Arab Emirates.

EVIL EYE PROTECTION

 I stumbled upon this great design website 'YATZER' & what should be on their current page - A new product based on what we've been talking about! This is an excerpt from the article - go check it out
 
Mediterranean cultures and many others around the world believe in the concept of the "evil eye", a look that is superstitiously believed to be able to cause bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike. To avoid the evil eye, many people wear a "nazar" (Turkish: nazar boncuğu or nazarlık), a talisman which can be found in or on houses and vehicles or worn as beads.

Art Deco Lighting

Art Deco lighting in the 1920s and 1930s were dramatic, elegant and futuristic looking. which were made out from steel, chrome or polished bronze. What i like about art deco lamps are they give a elegant look and can be used as a nice decorative piece.
