Eastern Mangroves Promenade 1 – Abu Dhabi – United Arab Emirates, First Published Jun 25, 2022, 1:56 PM IST
Exile is a mine of experiences. Another land. Stranger men. Many nationalities. Many languages. It becomes a cocktail of experiences when the memories of one’s homeland leave the sea. Dear expatriate friend, do you not have so many such memories? Can you write about one of them that you will never forget? Here is a special place prepared by Asianet News for your chapters in the Diaspora Diaspora, International. Photo, full address and note can be sent to submissions@asianetnews.in. Do not forget to write international on the subject line.
When you hear of the Gulf countries, the first thing that comes to the minds of people living here and in other countries will be the vast roads and sophisticated city views. But within the city itself, while retaining its geographical antiquity, there are places that are warm to the naked eye. There is a feeling that you get only when you see it in person.
Don’t you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life? Then there’s a good place to stay within the city of Abu Dhabi. Eastern Mangrove area located on Salam Street. Boating and kayaking in the middle of the Kandal forest.
We travel every weekend in search of a place, and we’ve arrived here unexpectedly because we missed the GPS due to road work. So we can say that we were given a voyage which was only a voyage. A curiosity that has been here for so long but has not yet been known. We soon reached out to each of the boat owners. I asked several people in turn as I did not know if the money they were saying was too much or would be stuck. He finally decided to set out with a boatman named Akram. We had to wait for half an hour to start the journey. A lot of people were waiting for the trip. It’s so busy there. Weekend for the uninitiated
Finally we boarded the boat. Nice clean boat. Initially a panic of not knowing how to swim flashed unknowingly on my face. Then I forgot about it in the thrill of the trip. The boat with us began to move slowly through the jungle. It was slowly gaining speed. A feeling you get while enjoying the surroundings. Boating and diners could be seen at the dining tables of a nearby restaurant.
A journey through the mangroves in the middle of the sea.
Mangrove forests include trees and shrubs that grow in estuaries, swamps and backwaters. They thrive in salt water at the confluence of rivers and seas. It gives man clean air, water and air.
We can see many types of rides here. There are those who wander the seas alone as an emphasis.
Those traveling in a boat that can seat up to ten people, and those traveling in yachts. And so on. Some boats have birthday parties and wedding receptions. So the parties are breaking into the water with song and dance.
There are boats floating around the sea like toy boats. It is important to remember that these exercises cross the lake and are in the middle of nowhere. As the evening riders paddled out into the vast expanse of the sea, we saw many other boats with stunned passengers like us.
Shortly after the journey began, Veilari began. On the beaches you can see huge flats covered in gold. A journey through the expanse where the sea breeze is not much waves.
Most of the islands in Abu Dhabi like Reem and Maya can be seen and enjoyed on this trip.
Spacious and modern seating is available on all boats, but none of the passengers are seated. The beauty of the blue and green seas. Everyone was in a hurry to see and enjoy the mangroves. The roar of the rushing water, the vibrancy and the vibrancy of the surrounding landscape. Travelers are immersed in some supernatural experience. The stagnant water emits total smoke.
Everyone could be seen videotaping the surrounding scenes without knowing / noticing the boat was going. You can see the rainbow in the sky. I was reminded of the rainbows we used to make when our mouths were full of water and shot against the sunlight.
Surrounded by lush greenery of submerged forests, cool and shady landscapes with floating shores. Beyond that there is a busy metropolis when you get here
Can’t imagine. We saw firsthand the purity of the water, which became more and more turbulent. Doubt whether he began to feel a little dizzy as he was touched by the cold gentle breeze.
As the boat turned around for a return voyage, it saw a flock of beaks, crows, and birds.
We looked back again and again. As if not enough to see the water. I just saw the birds now. The sadness of not being able to see the real thing remains. The roar of the water is also a great loss. We boarded the boat with the excitement of eyes, ears and mind.
View of the setting sun in the distance. The musicality of the water. Cold wind.
