Dubai UAE Gulf images from the aidan.co.uk photo portfolio

Picture: Abu Dhabi Electra Street taxi » Filename: UaeAuhElectraStTaxi1527.jpg

Taxi on Abu Dhabi's Electra Street, named unofficially after the electrical shop of the same name which has been a prominent feature on the street for many years. The Toyota Corolla is in the gold and white colour scheme of Abu Dhabi taxis. Across the street is the Sands Hotel, formerly Novotel.

Read a very interesting article by Jonathan Fryer on the subject of women taxi drivers in the UAE. Go to the BBC From Our Own Correspondent website. During my stay in Abu Dhabi 1992 - 1996 I spent many a night in Harvester's pub in the basement of the Novotel.
