    The architecture did had a mishmash sci-fi vibe. Not really a city. Strangely quiet and no info or person for guidance of what to see and do there. The hyped up PRT was not working, security guard told me its being repaired for the next 2-3 months. Maybe in the future this futuristic eco "city" will be awesome. Looking forward to it.

    When we visited Masdar, it was Ramadan so it was quiet, a bit like a ghost town and not to mention hot. It was a good place though, free parking, free access to the place and all. It shows good architecture and new technology, the electric car feels like I was in the future. Overall, I think the place is underrated, I guess its because of the location. It is such an interesting place but it would help if they hold events here to attract visitors. I would definitely come back here with y friends.

    Masdar is a city carefully planned to be friendly to its inhabitants, with zero carbon emissions and also to have temperatures significantly less than the surrounding area which is very hot all year round. There are innovative methods of building construction, transportation and air cooling._

    Masdar City is a sustainable and beautiful architecture City. It is designed to be very friendly to pedestrians and cyclists and due to Masdars unique construction, temperature in Masdar City is significantly lower then in rest of Abu Dhabi. At the moment core of Masdar City is Masdar Institute which is the best Institute in region. It has collaboration with MIT so it accepts only the best students from all around the world. Every student can apply through their website just search on google Masdar Institute. Beside Masdar Institute there is also worth mentioning the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency (commonly known as IRENA) and headquarters for Siemens, these two buildings has been built in Masdar City along with others. In addition there is a lot of companies inside Masdar City such as restaurants, banks, mobile operators, etc. For more information about Masdar check their official website Masdar City.

    **Update** You can still and are welcome to view and comment and do whatever you want. Please ignore my nationality. What China did, have been doing and will do, well, will cause some more "trouble" even if there is a lot there. I feel lucky to run out of that country before it is too late. China sucks when compared with UAE. First and foremost, I am a Chinese. I have to clarify this because you can choose to ignore my view if you hold hostile view towards, say, Peoples Republic of China. The stipend for expatriates is 4,000 AED per month, usually "delivered" to your savings account at the end of each month. For Emirati, its another number, which you can write an email to to figure out. The Masdar Institute in located in the Masdar City, which is a Mubadala project. In addition, it belongs to Khalifa CIty, which has been developing for a while. In more addition, its in Abu Dhabi, or "near" Abu Dhabi because the highway can take you to Al Marina Mall in about 40 min (no traffic jam). Your apartment is allocated free of charge to you, as long as you are a Research Assistant (aka, student. Thats how they arrange "VISA" for you) here. For master students, thats about 50 square meters. For Ph.D. students, its double the area. The catering is provided by Spinneys UAE, and so far as I am concerned, its pretty good. Well, some Chinese buddy will take their time to adapt the food (actually I mean currey...)For every lunch and dinner, buffet would cost you 25 AED, which seems to be MUCH LESS in the past. (Short notice: George O. Well let us know that Communism is unrealistic, so...So there is a 15 AED option, which is reduced to 4 food varieties, and the amount is...acceptable. I do mean acceptable.) Something else? On average you have a lot of course load (which is definitely good, since in China you have EVEN MORE courses but you learn not as much). And you shall have your research tasks. The research tasks mean you have to stay in the lab, work till hungary, eat and be back. (This is what I am doing. But I enjoy a CARE-FREE environment here.)
