After leaving the Yas Hotel, the road continues towards Abu Dhabi along the Al Raha Beach construction site. While a number of the projects have been slowed down or stopped, the first building to be  completed will be the new headquarters for Aldar Properties designed by MZ & Partners.

Stopping for lunch at the adjacent shopping centre took a little longer than planned when we returned to the car to find one of the rear tyres almost completely flat. We’re guessing the culprit was a large nail probably picked up on the building site next door. With a bit of pushing and shoving, Ahmed had us back on the road in no time.

We returned around dusk to see what would sort of reflections might be happening on the curved facade  The closer we got however, the more disturbing became the apparition in the window panels, giving us pause to re-evaluate of our earlier nail theory.
