MORE ENERGYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shiv: What’s up guys? Welcome to the FIFTH episode of our podcast, “Food Away From Home (World Tour)”, with your hosts Annie, Cece, and Shiv. In this episode, we're going to be talking about the amazing, unique, and diverse foods that you can find in Dubai, and where they can be found, as well as the experiences too! Let's get started!

Cece: There is a main difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are both on the coast of the UAE or United Air Emirates. Let's get into some of the differences between the two places. Start us off Annie!

Annie: Thanks Cece! Dubai is more fast paced and modern structured. It is more focused on shopping, entertainment, and still busy and exciting at night. There is a main spot in Dubai that is designed for shopping and entertainment. This area is by the Burj Kalifia, which is famous for being the tallest freestanding building in the world. You can go inside of it and there is an elevator that takes you to the top. From there you can go to a viewing deck at the top and look over the city. This tall tower took a duration of 6 years to complete.

Abu Dhabi on the other hand is more traditional and quieter with less tourists, but people still go through to look around. People tend to call it more religious. The key feature of Abu Dhabi is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which is a key religious place in Abu Dhabi. It is created with white, marble material and has many columns. It is beautiful and I highly recommend going there and viewing it. There is also a Louvre, like the one in Paris in Abu Dhabi, which is a museum. The Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is a giant, sail shaped hotel on its own island. It is quite expensive, but definitely a fantastic investment. Abu Dhabi is a more culturally based place and offers a more traditional culture and visit. I highly recommend visiting one of these, if not both of these places.

Annie: Now, stay tuned to hear about some popular foods, because you will not want to miss this.
