The main attraction of Abu Dhabi is the cultural and religious center - the Grand Mosque of Sheikh Zayed. It consists of a huge Mosque with four minarets, a park around it, a large underground corridor (Tolerance Path) with photos of construction and other information, through which you get to the territory of the Mosque and the attached underground shopping center with food and stores of oriental goods. Judging by the photos we have seen, the Mosque has been visited at different times by the...

Last Sunday I was for one day in Abu-Dabi and visited Yas Marina Circuit - the track of Formula-1 World Championship. It was a nice and interesting event for me. We made a full circle by bus, were on the start line, on the tribune, on VIP observation deck at the 7th floor of the Tower, visited the engineering school, garage, went through the drag racing track and Ferrari Center. It was exciting.

Last week I was on a business trip in Armenia and was lucky to see Ararat mountains - white top above clouds on my pictures. Now I am sharing these amazing views with you! Enjoy!

In the evening I walked around the half-empty shopping center, and looked at purely oriental stores with very specific goods, which are mixed with classic brands like Mothercare and LEGO. One of the stores had a full model of the mosque I had just visited in the window. In the daylight it must have been white with gold jewelry 😊My dinner :)

There are several palm trees in our street, which are just bursting with dates. Apparently, the dates are of different varieties, because the red dates come straight from the green ones, and the yellow ones seem to be on their own, not an intermediary. Maybe they will turn brown 🤗 I don't know if it's possible to eat these dates or if they're wild, but they're beautiful anyway 😊

Today I am sharing a series of pictures of our beautiful evening seaside :)

The sunset, as always, is gorgeous and incredibly fast. The sun went down in a matter of minutes before our eyes 😊

One of the hotel squares (Opera Square), with hotel complex and fountain near Tel Aviv promenade. Here we finished one of our summer Tel Aviv walk with a snack on a bench 😊 Favorite Bubble-tea from the same shop we had in tour City and a couple of buns from the café called "Aroma" opposite 😊

Today the last preparations were completed in the city and the Sukkot holiday began after sunset. Evening lights were lit everywhere in the Sukkas and people began to gather for feasts. It looks beautiful 😊

The Tiyul Garden in Zichron Yaakov is a quiet green square with a playground, a mini pond with fish, and several large old trees near the bus stop in the center of town.According to the sign near one of the trees (in the picture below), it is a Sycamore ficus, which was supposedly planted by gardener Francis Digor in 1886. In general, this species of tree is specially protected in Israel.

On the map Of Zykhron Yakov, this park was shown as a green walking area called "HaBaron Promenade" (aka Stephen’s Garden). In reality, it turned out to be a half-decayed, wild island of coniferous forest with sun-scorched dry grass, where we did not meet a single person. Nevertheless, the scenery was unusual for Israel :)

In anticipation of the holiday of Sukkot, the Sukkies outside our windows were masticating all day today, taking up most of the parking lot. The construction workers weren't too hard on themselves, and were periodically running around, laughing and dumbfounded on their phones. Apparently they didn't finish everything and will continue tomorrow 🤣 "Sukkies" are the kind of shack houses you can see in the pictures. During the holiday of Sukkot, which lasts for 7 days, it is prescribed...
