The other side of Abu Dhabi

Workers from  India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines and other poverty stricken countries in South Asia keep the Abu Dhabi economy going.  The streets were clean and most sky-scrappers had teams of window cleaners keeping the sand at bay - all thanks to these workers (probably low paid).  

As I was leaving for the airport in the evening there were mini buses and coaches full of workers being transported out of town to their accommodation far away on the edge of the city. (Some stopped randomly on the side of the highway so the men could complete sunset prayers). 

 Abu Dhabi is an affluent global city, but it is a place of inequality too.
