Photos - Abu DhabiEarly Photos are a great way to visualise life in Abu Dhabi before the oilIt is hard to imagine the shiny sleek city of Abu Dhabi before the oil. Looking at early photo's of Abu Dhabi is a great way to visualise what life was really like here.
One of the best collections of Abu Dhabi photos depicting life before the oil, that I have found is the book 'The Emirates by the First Photographers'. Read more about this book here. Wilfred Thesiger's books. are another good source of old photos of Abu Dhabi. As Abu Dhabi grows as a tourist destination it is determined to keep a link with it's heritage. This page will be continually updated to bring you links of where you can find the best source of old Abu Dhabi photos.
