The Oil Business

Oil is the raison d'etre for Abu Dhabi.  Men in bedouin style dish-dash or tawb (white robes) with white keffiyeh were obvious on the streets and stepping out of their Mercedes or BMW 4WD drive at the Sofitel, where I was lapping up the luxury.

Women were in the black abbaya's with red soled Christian Louboutin stilletos peeking from below the hem.

These two men conducting a serious business tête a tête in front of an energy sky-scrapper epitomised an aspect of emirati life.
