He then proceeded to go via Al Raha beach despite me telling him not to and to listen to my instructions. By the time I had told him where to go, he had already made up his mind not to listen to me and to follow his own circuitous pre-determined route to my destination. It's obviously pot luck if you get a driver who knows Abu Dhabi's roads. Mine quite clearly had no idea. A twenty minute journey turned into a forty minute journey. Be prepared for drivers who are clearly new to Abu Dhabi.
