Abu Dhabi is a city, a seeming mirage in the desert, this is an eastern fairy tale that has become a fair. And as in any fairy tale, everything is incomprehensible here: luxury, wealth, man-made wonders and amazing people. Abu Dhabi is a city of millionaires, everything is literally saturated with millions: luxury hotels, mansions and expensive cars. Surprisingly, all this was created on an empty place, hundreds of kilometers around only the desert, sand and mercilessly burning sun. The mind is incomprehensible how much it was worth it to create when every nail, brick or palm trees were brought here from afar. All this appeared thanks to the huge reserves of the country with which the country has. The population of Abu Dhabi, like the Emirates, consists of 20% of the indigenous population, which does not bother him with work, as the state provides them with all: free education, housing and money. So, the remaining 80% of the inhabitants, mostly visitors from Asia and Europe, fulfill all the work for them.
