Abu Dhabi Turns Ghost Town As 3-Day Sterilization Programme Kicks Off

The 3-day sterilization kicked off in the capital last evening and here’s what the city looks like. Fridays are always brimming with life, but the current state reveals a different picture. Abu Dhabi’s popular attractions like beaches, parks, corniche and even the the main E10 motorway that links the capital with Dubai was seen empty.

Take a look at the pictures:
