This morning, we went to the Masdar City. We took a cab from Abu Dhabi and we arrived there in almost 35 minutes (from the Manassir area), and paid about 65 dhs.

Take the kids for a ride in the electric cars which take you from the parking lot to the main Masdar building. There you can have sushi, a coffee, or go to the organic grocery store. Fun time. More

Food was pretty good but you will wait even though there is no crowd. Portions are on the small side so do not go when you are too hungary. More
