It's ok, I had to look it up on a map too

So, usually one of the first questions we're asked after the "What? Really? That's crazy/awesome/etc." is "So, I know I should probably know this, but where is Abu Dhabi exactly?"  Don't feel bad, I didn't really know either.  Then again geography has never been my strong point.  But for all of you who are still curious here's a nice map showing where our new home is located.  (The UAE is the smaller orange country to the right of Saudi Arabia.  Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and is on the coast about 45min - 1hr drive Southwest along the coast from Dubai).

(And yes, it is safe.  I know you're probably noticing that all of the bordering and nearby countries are the ones we hear about on the news all the time, but the UAE is actually a relatively safe country).
