Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The road to Abu Dhabi was obviously a bit boring, because it was basically desert and dazzling sunshine. Fortunately, the air conditioning on the bus was powerful enough, and the two people could chat with each other, so it was not a big problem. .

"I feel the snacks are a bit too sweet." After opening a box of snacks she bought at Dubai Airport and eating a piece, Joan frowned. Although she likes sweets, the sweetness of the sweets here is still too much. His imagination.

"This can be considered a local characteristic." Liang En explained after hearing what Joan of Arc said. "On the one hand, the entire Arabian Peninsula is hot and desolate, so locals need some storable and high-calorie food if they want to travel far."

"On the other hand, they can't drink alcohol for religious reasons, so sugar is a very good substitute for them if they want to get pleasure from eating."

"So the desserts and snacks here are relatively sweet, and outsiders are generally not used to them, but the overall taste is good if you drink them with clear coffee."

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the capital of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The city is located on the west-central coast of the United Arab Emirates, on a T-shaped island in the Persian Gulf.

This is a very young city. It was not built until the 1970s. Before that, the entire city was still a desert. Except for a few date palm trees and camel thorns everywhere, there were only a few earth blocks. of houses.

But as large amounts of oil were discovered, a modern city was quickly built in the desert. Compared with Dubai, the famous city of wealthy people, Abu Dhabi is obviously much more low-key, but this low-key can be regarded as a kind of low-key luxury.

When many people talk about the tycoons in the Middle East, they talk about Dubai, because Dubai is so famous, and its culture of tycoons has been exaggerated for many years, so that all events linked to the tycoons in the Middle East are often attributed to Dubai, even if there are many things that have nothing to do with Dubai. It doesn't matter much.

This situation occurs mainly because although everyone says that oil is everywhere in the Middle East, in fact the oil is very unevenly distributed. For example, Dubai does not have much reserves, and it will be exhausted soon.

After realizing that their own economy of oil extraction was unsustainable, the people of Dubai chose to invest the first pot of gold earned from oil into many infrastructure projects that were not promising at the time.

In addition, they also worked hard to create the image of the world's No. 1 wealthy people, making this city built almost out of thin air into a top tourist city and important shopping mall in a short period of time.

From this point of view, Dubai is still very powerful, because as a tourist city, it not only does not have many advantages, but also has various disadvantages.

First of all, the climate is too hot. It stays in the high temperature stage for almost half the year. You may get severe sunburn just by standing outdoors. Let alone playing, it is not even suitable for human survival.

Secondly, no matter how open it is here, it is still a country where religion has a strong position, so its opening up is under pressure. Therefore, freedom of entertainment is not absolute freedom of entertainment, but there is still a higher bottom line.

Finally, the United Arab Emirates has only been established for more than 40 years. This land has no civilization or heritage worthy of shocking the world in its history. Before the oil economy, it was almost barren. There are no stories to tell, and its cultural heritage is quite weak.

Being able to develop to this level despite these three fatal problems speaks volumes about the level of people in Dubai, and being able to do this is related to their love of tossing.

At least judging from the annual Arabian Travel Show, Dubai reflects its huge ambitions for the future of tourism at the show. More playgrounds, more activities, and more new technologies will continue to arm Dubai and attract the world's attention.

However, compared to the torment of Dubai, Abu Dhabi seems much quieter. Because it is rich in itself, it does not need to rely on tourism to boost its economy.

After all, Abu Dhabi has a lot of land. It accounts for 70% of the UAE. It has more oil reserves. It accounts for 90% of the country. The other six emirates only share the remaining small amount.

Therefore, this emirate and this city just did not play a high-end routine, but chose a low-luxury route. Obviously, it is difficult for a city that takes this route to become famous, but people don't care at all. .

As the bus drove into Abu Dhabi, Liang En also realized that Abu Dhabi is indeed a wealthy country. Because the closer you get to the city, the more greenery there is, and in the end the whole city looks like an ordinary developed city.

But Liang En knows what those green lawns and pure trees on both sides of the road represent in the desert. For this country where water is more expensive than oil, these green plants that ordinary people are accustomed to can definitely be called wealthy. symbol of.

After getting off the bus, they quickly contacted Mr. Varma, and then a Jaguar took them to the beach in Abu Dhabi. Ten minutes later, a classical Arabic palace-style building appeared in front of them. .

Soon, the car came to the gate of the building complex along the road. The gate was more than 40 meters high and looked like a triumphal arch. Liang En, with his sharp eyes, could tell at the first glance that the materials used for the triumphal arch were from Italy. marble.

"Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel is the only eight-star hotel in the world. It seems that the level of this jewelry exhibition is quite high." Liang En muttered quietly as he watched the car drive into the gate.

This is a palace-style hotel and the most luxurious hotel in the world. The hotel is a typical Arab palace-style building. From the main building to the auxiliary buildings, it stretches for one kilometer in width, showing the unique magnificence of Arab civilization.

The entire hotel has an astonishing 114 domes, all made of mosaics, which is particularly gorgeous and solemn. The largest dome has a diameter of 42 meters, is plated with silver, and is decorated with gold on the top.

In addition to the best marbles and mosaics, as well as valuable oil paintings, every crystal chandelier in the hotel is from Swarovski and shines brightly.

Mr. Varma helped them book a diamond suite, a suite with a view of the sea. Both the carpet and marble decoration were full of strong Arabian style.

The only regret is that this course is the smallest room in the entire hotel, only 55 square meters. The reason why there are no large rooms is that Mr. Varma received the invitation letter late, so the reservation was also late, so that only these rooms were left.

"This is much better than expected. At least it is much more comfortable than eating ashes in the desert of Iraq for more than a month." Listening to Mr. Varma's apology, Liang En shook his hand indifferently, and then asked one question.

"But is it really appropriate for us to attend this jewelry show? Our main focus is fashionable jewelry for young people. It always feels like the occasion is wrong when we come here."

At least in Liang En's opinion, the jewelry exhibition held here should be the most luxurious jewelry exhibition. For example, the gems must be at least as big as soybeans. If a piece of jewelry can use more gold, it must not use less gold.

Therefore, he did not feel that his mass-style jewelry was suitable for this occasion.
