Abu DABI is the capital of the Emerites. There are seven Emerites. We will be here and next door in Dubai after this. Weather is hot but not humid. We are the last ship of the year here again. Will be too hot soon. We went to the grand mosque. It is the biggest in the Emerites and welcomes all people of all religions and races. The mosque is built of white marble and closely resembles the Taj Mahal in the building materials in the inlaid flower decorations everywhere. We wore proper clothes and were adequately covered. We were told about the largest carpet in the world and the six chandeliers made of Italian Morano glass and thousands of crystals. Both were impressive. Well the whole visit was impressive.
