Our loop around Persian Gulf is completed. We changed the time again and docked on the morning in Abu Dhabi. In the last minute before leaving the ship I had a chance to meet our captain GianFranco He invited me to the bridge, asking about my travel achievements, showing how they operate the ship from the bridge. And of course we took a souvenir informal picture. He is my captain no.44!
After disembark I took a city bus no. 9 to my pension. It was empty. I took the lunch and boarded bus 94 to Louvre. Louvre Abu Dhabi. The ruler of this country ordered to build on the museum island modern art museum. Like in The Louvre in Paris there is great collection of art from different ages. The objects are carefully selected and very well displayed. Very interesting, but you have to pay 65 dirhams for entry.
The highlite is the roof of of the museum: enormous plate covers all institution. Once you are inside you see that it looks like few layers of roots or leaves allowing to see the sky between them… I didn’t see such a construction in the past!
Great day!
