Abu Dhabi 4K - Singapore in the Desert - Morning Drive

Описание: Abu Dhabi feels the most comparable to Singapore! Took me a minute to realize this. Sandy skies for a morning drive from the Abu Dhabi Marina to Ferrari World. Filmed in HDR in 4K60FPS for 75 inch + OLED TV's. This is a broadcast friendly 709 version. Anyone interested in the HDR version? LMK~ Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, a 1-1/2 hour drive from Dubai, sits off the mainland on an island in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf. The skyline’s modern towers and shopping megacenters such as Abu Dhabi and Marina malls are a big attraction. If you are in Dubai, I highly recommend seeing this in person as well! Start with Al Maryah( جزيرة المارية) and Al Reem (جزيرة الريم) Islands. https://visitabudhabi.ae/en
