The luxurious capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, has grown up in the midst of a barren desert in just a few decades. At the end of the 1960s of the last century, in its place was an unremarkable settlement of fishermen and pearl fishermen. After the discovery of generous oil reserves, a “golden rain” fell on the city, in just 40-50 years it turned into one of the most expensive, technological and pretentious megacities in the world.
During the construction of Abu Dhabi skyscrapers, the latest technologies were used and the most daring architectural solutions of the future were realized. That is why the city looks like a figment of the imagination of a science fiction writer. Striving to surpass each other in brilliance and wealth, Arab sheikhs are constantly investing money in the construction of grand mosques, magnificent hotels and shopping centers of incredible size.
