Today, we discovered the practical aspects of Abu Dhabi's towering concrete jungle besides overpriced apartments: protection from the sun, which is coming to bear down nicely, thanks, and shelter from wind, which is sandy even when a sandstorm isn't going on. Tomorrow? A sturdy parasol.

With prices like these, isn't it more economic to buy an apartment? Rent prices will quickly overtake the mortgage and when you leave you can sell the place and retire. :/

It would be, if we could. Expats can't buy property in Abu Dhabi (they can in Dubai) from what I understand, though someone's gotta be buying all those beachfront condos.
