Abu Dhabi 1960s
|
Before leaving this
gallery visitor can have a look at the black and white
photos, which cover one side of the gallery. They
represent aspects of the past in the emirate of Abu
Dhabi. Some of these photos cover the city of Abu
Dhabi, especially the seaport and the old fort, which
was a base for the Ruler of Abu Dhabi. Others cover
the Liwa oasis and the City of Al Ain. These photos
were taken in the early 1960s. A quick glance at them
shows the remarkable development that Abu Dhabi underwent
in a very short time, thanks to Sheikh Zayed, the
founder of the UAE. In the same wing a small moon
rock is displayed. This was taken during the mission
of Apollo XVII and was presented by the people of
the United States of America to the people of the
United Arab Emirates.
