Dubai to Abu Dhabi by bus

yesterday I travelled to Abu Dhabi by Emirates express bus from Bur Dubai's Al Ghubaiba bus station to Abudhabi.
The journey took just under 2hours although it seemed less than that.You will be easily distracted by the massive construction going on in Dubai and the contrast in Abu Dhabi.
The buses are very comfortable (better than National express in my opinion).The ride was smooth and not fast.
We paid 20 UAE dirhams (about 4 pounds) for the journey to Abu Dhabi and 15AED on the return Journey.
At both stations there was a bus waiting so we did not have to wait.
I asked dubai taxi drivers how much it would cost to AD and they said at least 250 AED (AED and Dirhams is the same) for the same trip.

The seats in the front are reserved for women and families.This is good for ladies travelling alone.
Taxis in abu dhabi dont have the minumum 10dirham charge like Dubai.That was a pleasant suprise as my journey from the bus station was only 5.5 AED.
back in dubai today almost 6 pm and am planning where we will go to tonight for  a meal. Yes i still love my food.
I have so far tried many restaurants mostly lebanese,Indian and of course my many visits to KFC, macdonalds and Pizza hut.
I  might as well enjoy now back in UK i cant go KFC,Macd or pizza hut as they not halal.
In Dubai its all Halal.
food will be subject of  a separate post...
