Ohh Arichetic of Abu Dhabi I worked for 26 years 1976 till 2000 this Egyptian Gentleman is great very few people knows this every one was wondering who is behind this Beautiful Garden City Love from Karachi Pakistan
ربنا يرحم كل منهما ويجعل مستقرهم جنه الفردوس الأعلى من الجنة. الشيخ زايد أحببنا فأحببناه ومن محاسن الصدف أن ساعده الأول فى تخطيط الدولة هو مهندس مصرى يؤسس محبه الشيخ زايد ويترك بصمات للتاريخ تجعل مصرى مثلى فخورا بهذا المثل الذى يحتذى به لمن يريد منصفا لمن فارقوا هذه الحياة إلى دار الحق تخلدهم أعمالهم فالذكرى للإنسان عمر ثان. تمنياتي لشعب الإمارات بدوام الازدهار وشكرا جزيلا لصاحب هذا الفيديو القيم.
He was blessed with great talent and longevity. Having worked to his potential he gave off much. His was a life of great fulfillment. Allah took him away at such an auspicious time.
Always remember God or Allah created & planned life & Universe on strict rules & nothing random. Abu Dhabi emerged from the marriage of the vision of Shiek Zayed to the Talent of this smart Planer, and the result a real great city seen on ground as a fruit of that vision & talent mutual coopetation. What is build on the right basis & foundations, will produce the right results. May his soul rest in peace in his grave under Allah mercy & blessings. In 2016 world wakeup on the death of one of the greatest Design Architects Zaha Hadeed, and now this great Planner. This is life, Time Moves and people comes & go but their great & good works will make their names alive in the humanity memories. Allah bless n mercy Dr Mahklouf.
You don’t think that’s true? The Egyptians literally built the Gulf that you know today. Built and taught at the universities, schools, hospitals and even wrote their constitutions. Not futile nationalism, just facts….
Good job. Abu Dhabi is a very beautiful city that combines modernity and tradition very well. The area in front of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque is indeed very beautiful
