Re: Old Video of Dubai back in 1999 and 2000

We used to live on Al Diyafah St (now 2 December St) - Rydges was our local - there was a great Mexican restaurant there too. I think it moved over to the Wafi at a later date.

Re: Abu Dhabi apartments - Al Ain building, WTC, Wave Tower...

Personally I would go for the WTC - location is good and plenty of outdoor space on the Corniche when you need it :) Balconies used to be banned in AD and that's why you will see so many buildings...
