It's more beautiful than I remembered. My childhood there was the best experience of my life. I'll never stop missing it. This video brings up so much nostalgia and good feelings
Thanks for posting this wonderful souvenir. Still recognise the room shape of the Sheraton - only the layout has changed these days. Given a choice, I would prefer the Abu Dhabi of back then rather than that of present day. It was a golden era - gone forever!
Absolutely amazing, a video of 1986, uploaded in 2012 and I’m watching it in 2022 beautiful.. I’ve been trying to search such videos since many years but only the latest once are found .. I was born in 1982 there .. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻I do not want to replace my memory with the latest version of Abu Dhabi thought it’s beautiful now but it’s was great then too..
Memories of the best time of my life. I was there entertaining in the Sheraton Tavern in 1986. I met my wife who worked as a nurse in Corniche Hospital special baby care unit. I was in love and everything was perfect. We walked along the Corniche every afternoon and around the old souk. I stayed in an identical room to this in the video only overlooking the pool. It's all changed so much since then, but I still have my wife with me.
i was born in Abu Dhabi in 1984 and im still here up till now..my father lived here for 49 years and died here about 4 months ago and was buried here too..
Abu dhabi was amazing back then and it still is, can't believe it has been 27 years since this video was shot. Dubai has changed a lot since 1986, Dubai was very different back then
Who have shoot the video thank u so much for uploading it made me crying out loud i saw my uncle in it who is no more in this world old memories why life is all about memories and pain
1985 i born, until 1994 it remains like that the old souq etc. corniche refurbished, old souq change to state of the art mall now. Only sheraton still like that
the best video ever its the year when i was born in kornish hospital just beside sheraton hotel and btw sheraton still in the same place right now but have been renovated couple yrs ago
Dear Ari, on July 13th I tweeted the link to this video to my friends, and after that you'll notice that from a few hundred views, it's now almost 4000 and increasing. Thanking you for having this great video for us to share and remember. It really is a true gem on the internet for people who have been in Abu Dhabi. Thank you. @MALJUNAIBI
الأطفال اللي موجودين بالمقطع إذا كانوا أحياء فهم تجاوزت اعمارهم الستين سنة الآن هم من كبار السن انصدمت فعلًا ماتوقعت في هذاك الوقت والزمان هذا التطور والجمال في أبوظبي ❤
ya salaam the best years of abu dhabi 1980 till 1989 before gulf war people trust each other and love each other but after american fitna ALLAHUM DAMMAR AMERICAN YARRAB people lost trust and love
They were always there. Oil exploration in UAE started with British Petrol pre merger companies in 1950s, 1960s. How are you going to say they were not always there ? You don't know world history ?
ياااااااااااااااااااااه رجعتو شريط حياتي قدامي مااجملها من ايام تمنيت اشوف نفسي وابي الله يرحمه وتخيلت نفسي هناك يارب ليش هيك عملت الدنيا فينا من ابوظبي الي غزة انا بحب بلدي بس كلو مآسيييييييييييييييييي
I remember back in those times there was a strange law that prohibited un-married couples to sit in the back of the taxis, Pakistani Taxi drivers would refuse and tell the man to set in front and girl in the back. Haha crazy how times change man.
This is excellent footage. I really felt i was there like in my childhood. Do you have more videos or pictures like this. Please upload or give us link. U have shared a treasure for those living in the the 80s-90s. Thankyou so much for sharing this video.
