Abu Othman or Abu Usman Shoe Repairs Shop in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

Image
Abu Othman or Abu Usman Shoe Repairs Shop is perhaps one of the oldest shoes and bag repair shop in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. It is located on Najda St. same building as Wear Mart. The shop is owned and run by locals from Pakistan. Though it is hard for them to converse in English, they always fix our shoes and bags as per our requirements and with reasonable price. They do not have telephone number but here are the contact numbers I got from their receipt: Mr. Mohammed Khan - 0547227318 and 0509951647  Shop's Contact Numbers - 0552562557 and 0507615537 Better to call them before going to their shop as they might be closed for prayer or during lunch time. For Bukno's Oakley backpack, Mr. Mohammed Khan will repair the zipper and stitch the inside lining for 25 Dhs. I didn't ask for discount as I know how difficult it is for small business owners to thrive especially during these times but usually they will give you discount if you ask.

Jubail Mangrove Park in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

We visited this amazing mangrove park in Abu Dhabi last 22nd of February, 2020. The mangrove park is less than 30 minutes drive from Abu Dhabi downtown. Best to visit during winter and visitors should wear comfortable footwear as it is a 2 kilometers boardwalk. (Actual video in the end 😎)
