Masdar means Source. By taxi from the center of Abu Dhabi (from the Ancestral Fort of Qasr al-Hosn) to Masdar City, we drove for about half an hour, perhaps due to the fact that we got into a traffic jam on the bridge at rush hour, paid 69 dirhams - not close, but we liked it there. Quite an ambitious and unique project, as, indeed, almost everything in the Emirates. Taxi stop in front of the entrance to the town, inside an exclusively ecological zone, no gas pollution. This newest eco-city has its own Scientific Institute, University and nearby residential buildings where employees live and implement their achievements, so to speak, a local innovation center - a successful Skolkovo, an example of what can be achieved without corruption and kickbacks.→
