Abu Dhabi, capital city of the United Arab Emirates

Postcard
Abu Dhabi | أبو ظبي‎‎ is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is the second most populated city with over 1,5 million inhabitants. Abu Dhabi is also capital of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the largest of the UAE's seven emirates.

To my surprise Abu Dhabi is located on a T-shaped island very close to the coast.

Stamp
The Falcon is the national bird of UAE and is a symbol of force, grace, pride, strength and courage, recognizing the importance of falconry in Arab tradition and culture.

Once falconry was an integral part of desert life in UAE. Today it is practiced purely for sport.
