Description

Abu Dhabi's Old Is Gold! by Assad El Abbas is a personal account of one man's remarkable journey in the United Arab Emirates. In 1968, Assad El Abbas arrived in Abu Dhabi from Beirut to join the Town Planning Section, where he worked alongside Japanese Architect Mr. Takahashi. The early days were challenging, with limited resources and harsh desert conditions. As Assad El Abbas settled into his new life, he formed a close friendship with Mr. Takahashi and together they explored the city's development, discussing planning strategies with Crown Prince Dewan's officials. Over nearly 55 years, Abu Dhabi transformed from a small fishing town to one of the world's most attractive cities. This book offers a unique glimpse into Abu Dhabi's transformation, told through the experiences of its former Chief Town Planner.
