OJRA...

Today, fellow License Teachers (LT) and I explored Abu Dhabi by way of their metro bus system...OJRA. The fare was 2 dirham (.54 cents ) outside of the city center and 1 dirham (.27 cents) within the city center. Let's just say it was quite an interesting day.

Ferrari World Indoor Theme Park..This is where the worlds fastest roller coaster is. It reaches a speed of 155mph.
This is the bus we took into the city center. Bus numbers with triple digits are routes outside the city and bus numbers with double digits are routes within the city. 
The infamous Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. During Ramadan the Armed Forces Officers prepare and deliver between 15,000 and 20,000 meals a day for Iftar. One interesting fact is that the tiles inside the Mosque are two colors, white and grey. The White tiles are from Italy and the Grey tiles are the same tiles that are in the Taj Mahal
I'm still confused about this picture.
Abu Dhabi bus terminal. This is where we purchased our day bus passes for 3 dirhams (.81 cents).
Mall boutique displays their sign of "Be Right Back". I found this hilarious. 
Here we are waiting at the bus stop. The majority of Abu Dhabi bus stops are closed in with air condition.
