I hope that this city eventually becomes filled with residents and really thrives.
We agree, moosefactory133 😃😁
This was a real eye opener. Thanks for revealing a part of Abu Dhabi that is rarely marketed for travellers.
And, as others have noted, I too have used university and hospital cafs around the world as reliable (as in good quality, inexpensive and varied choices) eateries.
Safe travels guys!
Hello Mac Cat. It's great to hear from you, and thank you for your lovely comment 🙏😊 We really enjoyed exploring Masdar City, which is why we wanted to share it as a Frugal Travel destination... and also our amazing value meal at the canteen! It's excellent to discover that other people have made similar great value discoveries! ~ Mandy 😁😀
Great video guys. Wow interesting place, defo worth a visit.
Lunch was huge, good find.
Hello Cindy! It's always so lovely to hear from you. We're happy that you enjoyed this video, and our excellent value meal at the university canteen! ~ Mandy 😁😀
Thanks for a great video! Loved the little AI car!
Hello Priyanka! We're so pleased you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your lovely comment, and we also loved that little driverless car! ~ Mandy 😀😁
WOW! Masdar city is beautiful and impressive. The temperature is hot in the winter in Abu Dhabi. The robot taxi is cute and I agree it is a futuristic transport. The lunch looks good and affordable. As always, thank you for the tips and sharing your experience. This is the best frugal travel channel!
Thank you Sue. Lovely to hear you enjoyed this one. Masdar was really interesting to visit and a bit out of the ordinary of the usual tourist sites there. Emirates was really a nice winter destination and it will be interesting for us to see when we return mid summer to house sit there again how tough it will be in the heat of summer. 😳 👍 ~ Lee
Excellent, one place I probably wouldn’t have wanted to go and now I do. Loving this series a bit too much.
Hi Leslee. I'm so glad we've been an influence for the good. ☺️. Tbh it was never high on my list either but house sitting took us there and we were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the experience. The whole region is really fascinating. 😊 ~ Lee
Hi Mandy / Lee, what an interesting vlog.
The place looks quite interesting. I loved the brown building with wavy curves.
That self driving car is so cool, it feels like being in a Sci-fi movie.
Funny to see electric car in a country that made trillions selling oil 😏
I understand it was a time of the day when folks stay home but what an empty place.
It feels waking in an abandoned town apart that everything is new & clean.
Food looked delicious, healthy, filling & cheap. Great deal.
Wishing you a lovely weekend there in NZ, take care 😎
Hi Sergio. It was pretty trippy walking around there. Feels weird with hardly any people around. I think it will take a while for electric cars to catch on here, what with the price of fuel, there's no real incentive.
The food was so good and reasonable there, we had to keep going out of our way to go back for more. 🤣
Have a great weekend. Cheers from down under. 😁 ~ Lee
30 degrees in WINTER!!!! WOweeee!
Yes. A definite big plus for visiting here in winter. 😁 ~ Lee
Love this one and the whole Middle East series for that matter....Thanks guys!!!
Awesome! So glad you enjoy them. There will be plenty more from all over the region and all quite varied. Thanks for watching 🙏😊 ~ Lee
Yeah, who needs human rights when there is some nice luxury. /s
Really enjoying your vlogs, found you as from July, Wizz Air are flying to Abu Dhabi from Cyprus (where I live) for 80 euros return. So planning our summer break. You have shown me loads I never though of.
Hello Alison. Thank you so much for your lovely comment - it's always wonderful to hear such great feedback from new viewers, and we're so happy that our videos are proving helpful. We're actually looking at flying the other way in August, from Abu Dhabi to Cyprus, but it's going to cost around €60 one way, so you found a great bargain!
The UAE will be pretty hot in summer! 1 I think it's a great winter destination as the temperatures are still good, so it will be interesting to see just how hot it gets when in summer. We hope you have a great time! ~ Mandy 😀😁
Great video - I will visit MasDar City : )
Hello Jake! We're so happy that you enjoyed this video 😁😃
Hi Mandy and Lee
Loved this video! Terry and I have visited Masdar city but unfortunately I don’t think the driverless cars are available on weekends or at least the day we were there. Will now have to go back to check them out and check out the university canteen. We ate at a pizza place where your food was delivered by a robot resembling a cat. 😂
Wow! A robot resembling a cat! I think I've heard it all now. 😆😆. It certainly was a fascinating place. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for the future yet. 🤣
~ Lee
THANK YOU FOR VISITING IN MASDAR CITY
We really enjoyed Masdar city and will be returning in August. Let's see what summer is like. 🤣🤣☀️☀️
@@FrugalTravellers ,wowww that's good and you are welcome to visit in masdar city once again.
Great video and structures but seems desolate and deserted.
Greetings from Israel! Great and amazing project.
Thanks 🙏. A truly fascinating place to visit. 😊
The driverless car was very cool.
It was kind of exciting and scary at the same time. I'm a nervous passenger at the best of times. 😊 ~ Lee
This was so interesting. The ingenious ways to make life more comfortable.
I know that I am jumping ahead but I am in discussion with friends about whether areas of Saudi can be explored on a budget. Do you think it's possible?
Hello Julie. It's always so lovely to hear from you.
Re: budget travel in Saudi Arabia, accommodation will be the biggest expense as it's not yet set up with hostels etc.
We'll have quite a few videos coming of our travels there, which will hopefully prove informative & interesting to you 😀😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Just deliberating booking a trip there. Would be amazing. If you can do it, I may well go for it! What was the average accommodation price please?
@@julieeggleton9743 We had an amazing time there, but as you'll see it isn't as well developed for tourism as other places. It's best to check one of the accommodation booking websites for prices as they can vary greatly. ~ Mandy
Hi Mandy and Lee. I have booked accommodation in Masdar city for 3 weeks in November 2024. But seeing it so empty makes me worried. Are there many people living there, going to the coffee shops etc? What about grocery shops? Any other info you have would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Linda. We were in Abu Dhabi in December/January, when the university was closed, which is why it might have been so quiet. There is a good bus connection to go to other places, if you check out the Abu Dhabi videos on our UAE playlist: czcams.com/play/PLCmNbKU5iMrldLG5hm-8BxeVJMOgUO6-M.html&si=hv6HxSIumbTjTwk4
We were staying a short walk from Masdar City, and took the free bus to there back from Yas Island. I hope our other vlogs will prove helpful.
Thanks for sharing your experience in Masdar City. It will be on my bucket list. Is the university free to visit or did you guys need permission to enter?
We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed this video. The university is part of Masdar City, and we wandered around the areas that were open to the public.
Just went there with my wife. I guess we came at the wrong time. It was so hot until my wife almost got heat stroke. Their PRT was also under maintenance. As per the security, maintenance will be done in October only 😅 So I guess I will come back in November-December
The full city is depends on Solar Energy what do they do when winter come?
That's a great question! I think solar power is only one part of the energy supply.
Can anyone eat at the canteen? Or they check something?
We ate there 3 times and were never asked to show any form of ID, and there weren't any signs up indicating it was only for the university.
Hey, I liked the video. If you come to Abu Dhabi, you must tell me so that I can offer you Arabic hospitality❤❤❤❤
That's so kind, thank you! We're happy you enjoyed this video, and we'll be back in Abu Dhabi in August 😃😁
Welcome to your second country🤍🤍
What's a 'bane marie'?
It's one of those commercial food warmer thingies that keeps the food hot for hours in buffets and cafés.
A bain-marie (AKA water bath or double boiler), a type of heated bath, is a piece of equipment used in science, industry, and cooking to heat materials gently or to keep materials warm over a period of time. A bain-marie is also used to melt ingredients for cooking
The name comes from the French bain de Marie or bain-marie, in turn derived from the medieval Latin balneum Mariae & the Arabic ḥammām Māriyya, all meaning 'Mary's bath. In his books, the 300 AD alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis credits for the invention of the device Mary the Jewess, an ancient alchemist. However, the water bath was known many centuries earlier (Hippocrates and Theophrastus).
@@SERGIO-cr6uy You're a legend! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information... it's absolutely fascinating! 🙏😀😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Hi Mandy.. Just a copy-paste job. All credits go to Wikipedia 😉
@@SERGIO-cr6uy The fact you took the time to do so means a lot. Thank you 🙏😀 ~ Mandy
Fill it with people from Africa only and see what happens?
I'm not sure what you mean by that? I certainly hope you aren't implying anything racist! ~ Mandy
It is that popular that it is all abandonded...🧐🙈 This is just low quality commercial yt nonsonse sorry...
Thank you for your comment. We happened to be staying near Masdar City, which is why we visited, and we found the concept to be very interesting.
You two look like you're the last people on earth there...
Haha. It felt like we was sometimes. Not many folks out and about in the daytime. 😆😆 ~ Lee
It must be a sponsored video! To put it mildly, there were no other people in the video besides the two "tenants", and according to official sources, the city has failed, leaving less than 300 people behind. Shame on you two. Where is your integrity?
We are all about free entertainment and budget meals... which we found at Masdar City.
Actually very unecologic place. With nobody and no history. I would Never waste my time visiting this cringe place...
We found it fascinating. 😂😂
