Tower-ing Fiction #19: Etihad Towers, Furious 7 (2015); Ryland Towers, Black Moon Rising (1986)

by Shawn Gilmore

The Etihad Towers complex in Abu Dhabi, completed in 2011, is comprised of five main towers, with three mixed-use towers rising from a shared lower multi-story pavilion set against the beach to the south and two primarily residential towers set into a scalloped space north of the pavilion. The complex, designed by DBI Design, is clad mostly in reflective glass, though each tower presents at least one segmented façade pointing away from the center of the cluster. At the time of its completion, Tower 2 was the tallest in Abu Dhabi, though it has been surpassed by the Burj Mohammed bin Rashid (part of the World Trade Center Abu Dhabi) at some 381m (1,250’), ADNOC Headquarters (342m, 1,122’), and The Landmark (324m, 1,063’).

The Etihad Towers still boast impressive heights:

Tower 1: 69 stories, 277m (909’)

Tower 2: 74 stories, 305m (1,001’)

Tower 3: 54 stories, 260m (853’)

Tower 4: 61 stories, 234m (768’)

Tower 5: 55 stories, 218m (715’)

Memorably, the Etihad Towers served as the location for a major action set-piece in Furious 7 (dir. James Wan, 2015), during which Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) escape Shaw (Jason Statham) by driving a red Lycan HyperSport from one tower to another (and another!) before abandoning the vehicle just before it crashes to the ground next to one of the Etihad Towers signs.

In the film, a series of establishing shots set up the variety of Abu Dhabi skyscrapers, circa 2015.

Dom and Brian’s team initially meets (bringing their many cars with them) at the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, an elaborate luxury hotel complex, which originally opened in 2005.

The team then relocates to reconnoiter the Tower complex from a parking area by the Marina Mall to the north, juxtaposing the architectural styles of the Etihad Towers and Emirates Palace, and echoing the many times members of Dom and Brian’s crew have surveyed downtown Los Angeles from the Dodger Stadium parking lot.

This helpfully orients viewers to the film’s geography, as the team not only ends up dozens of floors above street level, but also at the far western tip of the city, surrounded by water and few roads—not ideal for a Fast and Furious scenario.

Aerial shots of the Towers establish their upper profiles, as well as how the towers relate to each other spatially—Towers 4 and 5 to the north (left), 3 and 1 in the center, with the tallest, Tower 2 to the south (right)

Various interiors are also established—almost certainly soundstages—including an open-plan ballroom and private hallway, which will subdivide the action to come.

As in previous installments, Tej (Ludacris) helps orient viewers by pulling up schematics of the situation, this time joined by Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel).

Brian and Dom find the HyperSport tucked away in the collection of a Jordanian prince “in his penthouse” on an upper floor of what a character identifies as “Tower 1” (though in a moment, this will be Tower 2). Unable to find the device hidden in the car, they of course must drive it through the ballroom: “We’re taking the car!”

Confronted by Shaw, Dom and Brian launch the car through a window, some sixty or so stories up—the angle below indicates that they emerge from the north side of Tower 2—with one of Shaw’s grenades tilting the car as the careen toward Tower 3. (Most of these scenes, except those shot on soundstages, are CGI or heavily augmented.)

Fortuitously, the angles work out, and though Brian repeatedly yells “Cars don’t fly!” in the Fast and Furious franchise most certainly do, and in loving slow motion.

The HyperSport enters Tower 3 a few stories lower, crashing through a partially-finished floor, with Dom realizing the car’s brakes are not working.

One more jump, this time from Tower 3 to Tower 4, with an aerial shot showing the orientation of the pavilion below.

This floor of Tower 4 is occupied by an art exhibition of some sort, which Dom and Brian immediately demolish, crushing terracotta warriors and fine art as they go.

The HyperSport finally crashes out of the north façade of Tower 4, with Brian and Dom rolling to safety before it does so.

Finally, the car crashes back to street level—a much more conventional Fast and Furious elevation—just behind one of the Etihad Towers signs.

As a button on the scene, the team pulls up a satellite image of the Etihad Towers when trying to pinpoint Shaw’s last-known location.

Interestingly, the Etihad Towers jump in Furious 7 mirrors a perhaps lesser-known action scene from the film Black Moon Rising (dir. Harley Cokeliss, 1986), starring Tommy Lee Jones (Sam Quint) and Linda Hamilton (Nina). In it, Sam must steal an experimental car (the Black Moon), which has an important computer disk concealed inside, from an upper floor of a high rise, eventually needing to jump from one building to another.

The action centers on Ryland Towers (in reality the Molina Center at 300 Oceangate, in Long Beach, California, originally completed in 1983). As Sam and his compatriots plan how to steal the car, they work out various approaches, including how to get from one building to the other without crossing the exposed courtyard between them.

As in Furious 7, the Black Moon Rising location is in a relatively isolated corner of Long Beach, though various highways are more accessible than in Abu Dhabi.

The jump in Black Moon Rising, similar to that in Furious 7, is somewhat unplanned, as Sam had hoped to escape via a service corridor to a car elevator. However, this route is blocked, forcing Sam and Nina to ramp their way through the side of the building. Various establishing shots give a sense of scale and distance, with many discussions of the location’s dimensions.

On the night of the heist, Sam shimmies from one unsecured building to its fortified counterpart, winding his way through security to find the Black Moon and Nina.

The jump itself is much less elaborate, featuring a miniature of the Black Moon, but follows the same beats, with the car exiting one upper floor, arcing over the plaza below, only to crash into a mostly-empty floor in the adjacent building.

Adnoc sends first low-carbon ammonia cargo to Germany

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) said on Thursday that its first ever shipment of low-carbon ammonia has left the UAE bound for Hamburg, Germany.

The demonstration cargo will be delivered to Aurubis, a global provider of non-ferrous metals and one of the largest copper recyclers worldwide, that has its headquarters in Hamburg, the company said in a statement.

On arrival in Germany, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA), one of Europe’s leading logistics companies will handle the cargo.

Produced by Fertiglobe, a partnership between Adnoc and OCI, at its Fertil plant in Abu Dhabi’s Ruwais industrial complex, the demonstration cargo is the first of several test cargoes sold to customers in Germany as Adnoc expands its strategic energy partnership across the hydrogen value chain.

“This demonstration cargo of low-carbon ammonia builds upon the long-standing bilateral relationship between the UAE and Germany and our growing partnership in clean energy," Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Adnoc managing director and group chief executive said.

"It highlights Adnoc’s expanding role as a trusted exporter of low-carbon fuels, as the UAE focuses on the industrial growth opportunities within the energy transition."

The cargo follows a number of similar low-carbon ammonia sales that have been made to customers in Asia. Adnoc sold its first shipment of blue ammonia to Japanese trading house Itochu in August last year followed by similar deals with Japan's Idemitsu and Inpex.

Aurubis plans to utilise the low-carbon ammonia as a feedstock in its wire rod plant, testing its application as an additional, lower-carbon energy source for industrial utilisation. The hydrogen it contains has the potential to be a low-carbon energy alternative for the energy-intensive processes in multi-metal production, Adnoc said.

Week 15- Final Thoughts!

I definitely see the design going forward with the futuristic and modern mindset. I feel like a lot of designs out there implement this having those in mind. Let’s take cars for example, they are very much updated and it is very easy for most people to spot a new car because of the newer sleeker design. One such brand can be Tesla. It is so popular and is very much recognizable. Especially the model X, their suv line, it has those fancy falcon wing doors that really make them very separable in designs from most cars. New LED headlights can help make the car look updated but overall I feel like it is the new design language that really makes the car and the car industry keep on going forward. One other subject I want to take for an example are the new buildings. They are all very much competing on which building looks pleasantly aesthetic in looks to please the most crowd. I feel like this industry really pushes everyone to create a spark in a new project to catch the people’s attention. Some of these buildings are just so amazing to see, it's unreal. I am going to name a few so that you can get an idea of what good design can really do to a building’s looks. Some of the buildings are ADNOC Headquarters, Absolute World, and ofcourse the Burj Khalifa. The last example I want to take a look at are the interiors. The modern, sleek language of design in any interior just lights up your mood. Especially when it comes to homes. The interior design of homes is just going wild. I mean I watch videos on YouTube that just talk about that. I feel like we have caught up to the ultimate designs in things as they are just so pleasant to look and observe at. But I am definitely excited for the future and to see what it brings. Hopefully for the good changes!

10 Major Ports in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a nation in the Middle East that is located near the Strait of Hormuz. It shares land borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia, and is well connected to other Gulf nations such as Qatar and Bahrain. It faces the Persian Gulf to the West, which is a major maritime trade route.

The UAE is formed from 7 Emirates- Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain. Abu Dhabi is the capital while Dubai is the most populous Emirate.

The UAE is part of several inter-governmental corporations such as the UN, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Arab League, and OPEC. The nation has large reserves of petroleum and natural gas. The petroleum reserves are ranked 6th in the world, while the natural gas reserves are ranked 7th.

The main sources of income are oil and tourism. The ports in the UAE are connected to other transport methods via road and air. The 2 national carriers- Emirates and Etihad Airlines, operate dedicated cargo and freight shipments from these ports to all over the world. Tourism, Oil, and the industrial sector are the main sources of revenue to the UAE.

Given its vast maritime importance, ports in Dubai and the UAE have played a major role in the development and growth of the country. In this article, we will look at the top 10 ports of the UAE. The Locode and Emirate are also mentioned.

These ports are the major shipping hubs spread throughout the various emirates. Note, the Locode begins with the prefix AE- indicating a port located within the territorial waters of the UAE.

The ports in this list are grouped in terms of the Emirate it belongs to. In Arabic, the term “Mina” means port or harbour. Most ports are also referred to by using Mina – before its name. So, for example, Port Khalifa (in Abu Dhabi) is also known as Mina Khalifa.

1. Port Khalifa (AEKHL) Abu Dhabi

As the flagship port in Abu Dhabi, Port Khalifa is one of the largest deepwater harbours in the world. Located near the Taweelah offshore port, it is currently under construction and aims to be completed by 2030. It is part of the Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD) that serves the Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi and stretches out to sea on a reclaimed island. The Industrial Zone covers over 400 square kilometres and generates significant cargo and container traffic.

Port Khalifa is aimed at replacing cargo operations from Mina Zayed and has already begun handling container vessels diverted from Port Zayed. The proposed construction has been divided into 5 phases.

Phase 1 was launched in 2012 following the inauguration of the port in September. Phase 2 was launched in 2013. These phases will be completed by 2020 and 2021 respectively and will double the current container handling capacity.

The port services container vessels through a 30-year contract with Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT) that currently processes 1.5 million TEUs annually. The present capacities are 2.5 million TEUs and 8 million tons of cargo.

Post completion of all phases, the port will be able to handle 15 million TEUs and 30-35 million tons of cargo. Dredging activity has created a 16-meter-deep harbour. As it is an artificial island, port Khalifa is connected to the mainland by a causeway that is located off the Ras Ghanada Coral Reef.

The port will have a 7.4 km quay, 22 container berths, 63 general cargo berths, and 6 dry bulk berths. It is fully equipped with customs, immigration, inspections, and security services. The port has stressed on technology and automating the infrastructure.

The container terminal is semi-automated, inventory stacks are fully automated, and tracking services are integrated into cargo shipments. 25-plus shipping lines operate from this port to 70 international destinations.

The port has 42 automated stacking cranes, 20 straddle carriers, and 12 ship-to-shore cranes in operation. These 12 STS Super Post Panamax cranes were supplied by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC) and are the largest in the world as of 2016.

2. Mina Zayed (AEMZD) Abu Dhabi

Port Zayed is an important deep-water seaport of Abu Dhabi that has been operational since 1972. It services a large portion of vessels plying on the Gulf Coast and lies on an area of 25 square kilometres. The old container terminals occupy nearly 10% of the total area and are built to store up to 15,000 TEUs.

Following the complete transfer of container handling to Port Khalifa, these terminals are now defunct. There are rows of storage warehouses that contain general cargo, breakbulk, and use temperature controls to keep transit goods at peak condition.

Mina Zayed also allows companies to store and distribute goods from directly within the port premises, reducing transit times. A chilled storage zone caters to over 15,000 tons of frozen imports and exports.

The port has 21 berths for ro-ro, project cargo, reefer units, general cargo, and petroleum products. The initial 17 berths were expanded to service a larger number of vessels and process more cargo tonnage.

The quay length extends over 3 kilometres and has a maximum anchorage depth of 15 meters. However, berths 10 to 13 are just 6 meters deep, and they are only used by low draft vessels that carry the minimal load.

Vessels inbound to Mina Zayed can refuel directly from the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s (ADNOC) fuel bunkers that offer reduced rates. The port also has an engineering division on the call for vessel repairs and servicing.

There is also a Dhow Harbor located close to Mina Zayed. Vessels such as rig supply crafts, tug vessels, pleasure dhows, personal crafts, and small motorized launches berth here. The harbour is serviced by ADNOC, has equipment for service and repairs, and also has a direct connection with Port Zayed.

The erstwhile container plans were scrapped following the opening of Port Khalifa in September 2012. The now-closed facilities include 800 meters of quay, several heavy-duty cranes, and the proposed Saadiyat Island expansion plan.

This satellite port facility was planned to double as a Free Trade Zone, from where a larger number of container ships could be handled. To recover these, Abu Dhabi Ports plans to convert Port Zayed into a luxury cruise hub. AIDA and Celebrity Cruises have already begun cruise services from this port, and efforts have been made to convert it into a passenger port.

3. Musaffah Port (AEAMF) Abu Dhabi

Based out of the Musaffah Industrial Zone, this port is the 2nd oldest port in Abu Dhabi after Mina Zayed. It is a deep-water harbour that runs along the 53-kilometre Musaffah Channel. This channel provides a navigable canal through which the port is directly linked to the Persian Gulf. Dredging operations are underway to increase the channel draft.

Musaffah is a predominantly industrial district, and the same goes for the port. Passenger facilities are minimal here. There are several industries and factories that line the port face. These include steel machining, shipyards, rig and offshore constructions, dredging, commercial construction, and shipping.

Musaffah Port has advanced facilities to handle the various cargo vessels inbound. It can handle general cargo, breakbulk, solid bulk, and ro-ro ships. There are also large commercial warehouses which can be leased for storage and distribution of goods by companies within the port.

The facility is well connected to the surrounding regions by road and rail. The Etihad Rail project that is aimed at national rail connectivity has placed port networks as one of its objectives.

Musaffah is one of the ports that received the first links, alongside Jebel Ali and Mina Khalifa. This will create connectivity to neighbouring Saudi Arabia and Oman, as well as to other ports for transhipment. It is also connected by road to the Abu Dhabi International Airport.

This port is also the headquarters of the Abu Dhabi Ports Maritime Training Centre that offers international certification to mariners. The course is globally accredited by Lloyd’s Register and the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

4. Port Jebel Ali (AEJEA) Dubai

Mina Jebel Ali is a major port in Dubai, with over 15 million TEUs shipped in 2019. Built-in 1970, it was built to handle container and cargo traffic from Mina Rashid, and quickly overtook surrounding ports in terms of shipments.

Currently, Jebel Ali is the 9th busiest port in the world, the busiest in the Middle East, and handles a significant portion of container traffic through the region. It has won numerous awards for its infrastructure and facilities.

Jebel Ali Free Port is a hub for companies, both global and domestic. It includes a freight station (CFS) dealing with LCL container units.

The port is also well connected to the city, the Dubai International Airport, and the Airport Air Cargo Village. Mina Jebel Ali is the flagship port in Dubai Ports World’s global presence. It deals with shipments to Asia, the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Europe. The cargo handling capacity currently stands at 22.4 million TEUs.

The port has nearly 5 kilometres of quays, servicing ships from over 150 origin ports. The container terminals are divided into the T1, T2, and T3 zones, with a planned T4 zone on the way. T1 is the busiest terminal with 15 berths, 51 cranes, and a 9 million TEU capacity. It was the original terminal that the port operated from.

T2 can hold 6.5 million TEUs with 32 cranes and 8 berths. It is reputed for cutting on carbon emissions by a staggering 30%. T3 has 5 berths and can hold 3.8 million TEUs. It is highly advanced, with semi-automatic cranes that can process Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) that store over 18,000 TEUs. The proposed terminal T4 will add 3.1 million TEUs to the existing facilities.

5. Mina Rashid (AEDXB) Dubai

Port Rashid is an important passenger and cargo port in Dubai and was the first commercial port in the Emirate. It handled container and cargo operations until they were shifted to Jebel Ali.

The port was opened in 1972 as a small trading harbour, with a capacity of less than 0.1 million TEUs. Today, it boasts of a 1.5 million TEU capacity alongside state-of-the-art technology and new equipment. It is owned and managed by DP World.

This hub is gradually being converted into a fully passenger and cruise port in Dubai. Jebel Ali began handling cargo operations from 2008 and operations were completely shifted by 2018. Mina Rashid is currently under expansion and redevelopment.

It handles ro-ro, ro-pax, general passenger, and cruise vessels. There are also minor cargo operations at the port premises. Extensive real estate development is planned along the waterside to convert the port into a major tourism site. Cunard Lines and the Carnival Corporation currently have agreements to begin operations from this port by 2020 end.

The Dubai Drydocks are located near Mina Rashid and have been operational since 1983. It is the largest dry dock facility along the Persian Coast. The Dubai Maritime City is also near the port and is planned to open in 2021. It is divided into the Maritime Centre, Industrial Precinct, Academic Precinct, Marine District, Harbor Residence, and the Harbor Offices.

6. Mina Al Hamriyah (AEHAM) Dubai

Located on mainland Dubai and shielded from the Persian Gulf by the Deira Islands, this port is an important trading and passenger harbour and lies close to the Port Rashid.

Al Hamriyah is not to be confused with the Mina Hamriyah Port located in the Free Port Zone of Sharjah. Although it is a small port, it handles a large portion of livestock, fish, frozen and fresh foods, and passenger traffic in the region.

It was built to reduce pressure on Dubai Creek. The Palm Deira is a luxury residential complex built facing the port, which is in the final stages of construction.

The Port is currently managed by Dubai Ports World and is under expansion to build an additional 2.5 kilometres of quay length. It handles trade with Asia, parts of Africa, and Europe.

The port is also close to the Al Hamriyah Civil Defense Station and the Department of Passport Control. It is well connected to the other Emirates by an extensive road and rail network. Moreover, Dubai International Airport is just a short distance from it.

As the largest port in the UAE on the Eastern Coast, the port of Fujairah is a major deep-water port in the region. It has a coastal breakwater and has an average anchorage depth of 16.5 meters. The port has been operational since 1983, while oil terminals were added in 2006 and 2010. The port is a multipurpose harbour that is close to the Straits of Hormuz.

The port is well connected to the surrounding Emirates and is part of the cross UAE expressway. It is connected to the Etihad Rail project that provides transport to Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Um Al Qwain, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain. The main services provided by this port include cargo, container, and oil shipments. It is built to handle general cargo, project cargo, bulk cargo, wet bulk, fuel etc.

The port breakwaters are divided into the North and South zones. The North zone houses the 2 oil terminals. The South zone deals with repairs and general cargo handling. As the largest Eastern port, it has immense regional importance.

The Habshan-Fujairah Oil pipeline moves up to 3/4th of the UAE’s oil production and an average of 2 million barrels per day. The port also has a naval base of the UAE Navy that is stationed to provide anti-piracy protection to oil tankers in the region. The port stands out for being the world’s 2nd largest bunkering hub, with extensive facilities for fuel-supplying and management.

8. Port of Ras Al Khaimah (AERKT) Ras Al Khaimah

As one of the Northernmost ports in the UAE, RAK Harbor is an important trading post in the region. Situated close to the Strait of Hormuz, vessels covering parts of Asia, Europe, and Africa are serviced here. The Ras Al Khaimah Port actually includes several smaller ports, such as Mina Saqr and Mina Al Jazeera harbours, in addition to the main RAK harbour.

As a modern port, RAK has several Free Port Zones that provide operational spaces to several international companies, and also provide storage to various shipping lines. There are provisions to handle general cargo, liquid and bulk cargo, and reefers. RAK Port has cruise and passenger terminals that cater to a large portion of the regional tourism.

Located on the Indian Ocean coast, the port of Khor Al Fakkan is an important cargo hub of the region. It lies close to the Straits of Hormuz and is within 3 hours from Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

It is on the Eastern coast of the Musandam Peninsula and lies on the Gulf of Oman. It is one of the largest transhipment harbours around the world and caters to ships crossing through the East-West route via the Indian Ocean. It is primarily a container and cargo handling port that services surrounding regions of Sharjah.

The port has 6 quays, spanning a total over 2 kilometres that have an average anchorage depth of 16 meters. The port facility sits over 700,000 square meters and has on-site storage covering 450,000 square meters. The container terminal of Khor Fakkan, known as KCT, has storage capacities for 45,000 TEUs. It also has a consolidation and deconsolidation yard within the premises, for handling LCL units. There are facilities to handle up to 1,000 reefers at a given time.

Khoảng 96% dân số ở UAE là người theo đạo Hồi. Trung tâm kinh tế, chính trị của UAE là Abu Dhabi (thành phố lớn nhất của liên bang).

L��ch sử và văn hóa truyền thống của UAE

Từ 215.000 năm TCN, con người đã xuất hiện và sinh sống ở UAE. Qua các nghiên cứu kỹ lịch sử, UAE đã trải qua nhiều thời kỳ như:

Thời kỳ tiền Hồi Giáo (lúc này người dân tại đây chưa theo và tôn sùng tôn giáo này). Nhiều vết tích đã được tìm thấy tại Jebel Faya, Jebel Buhalis (trong các di chỉ cổ đại).

Đất nước trên sa mạc và rất giàu có

Đất nước của những siêu xe

Nhờ tăng trưởng kinh tế cao và mạnh mẽ, nhiều người dân tại UAE rất có thể mua được nhiều xe hơi. Đặc biệt, những người giàu tại đây. Không tiếc tiền để tậu những chiếc xe hơi sang trọng.

Khách du lịch khi đến đây luôn luôn được mãn nhãn với những chiếc xế hộp siêu đắt đỏ như: Aston Martin, Ferrari hoặc Mercedes.

Cảnh sát ở UAE cũng nổi tiếng với việc sử dụng siêu xe. Họ còn rất có thể bắt và tịch thu những chiếc xe siêu sang nhưng bất hợp pháp. Bởi vậy, không xẩy ra gì đáng thấy ngạc nhiên khi cảnh sát UAE thường được trưng dụng những chiếc siêu xe do vậy để đi làm nhiệm vụ

Đất nước bỏ phí siêu xe nhiều nhất

Bạn rất có thể nhìn thấy hàng chục ngàn chiếc xe sang trọng không người sử dụng ở Dubai. Đa số những chiếc xe này được mua trước lúc xảy ra cuộc khủng hoảng tài chính năm 2009. Sau đó nền kinh tế thị trường suy sụp trầm trọng. Nhiều người từ siêu giàu có trở thành kẻ nợ nần. Họ buộc phải bỏ những chiếc siêu xe vì không đủ tiền đóng thuế.

Nuôi thú cưng là động vật quý hiếm

Đây là cách mà những người siêu giàu có ở UAE thể hiện đẳng cấp của mình. Các doanh nhân giàu có thường nuôi hổ, sư tử, đại bàng,… làm thú cưng.

Tuy nhiên, ngày nay luật pháp UAE đã liệt kê hành động này là bất hợp phát. Đồng thời ban hành đạo luật nghiêm cấm cá nhân s�� hữu động vật hoang dã.

Những hòn đảo nhân tạo

Ở UAE, có một quần đảo nhân tạo có tên thường gọi là Palm. Bao gồm  ba hòn đảo lớn nhất toàn cầu do con người tạo ra tính đến thời khắc này. Quần đảo có hình cây cọ khổng lồ. Đây chính là địa điểm du lịch sang trọng cực hấp dẫn khi đến với Dubai. Đến đây chúng ta cũng có thể tham gia các hoạt động vui chơi, mua sắm, nghỉ dưỡng với một đẳng cấp hoàn toàn mới. Trải nghiệm của giới siêu giàu tại tiểu vương quốc Ả Rập thống nhất.

Vậy là bạn đã biết UAE là gì rồi chứ. Thật là thú vị khi biết đến một liên bang các tiểu vương quốc hùng mạnh và giàu có này phải không? Nếu có dịp và ngân sách cho phép, hãy đến thăm UAE một lần để được trải nghiệm những điều thú vị vốn chỉ mất ở vùng đất đặc trưng này nhé.
