I didn't photograph the gym and didn't pay specific mind to the free weights section, but it was a lovely facility with great views. I think after this post I'll have the five I need to share photos (was blocked from doing so on earlier posts), so I'll share some from the "worst sunrise OWV" to demonstrate why I didn't find that to be the case.

I bought the additional travel insurance from Trawick that others have mentioned in case I had to quarantine on site (up to $7000) and it only cost $28 for the length of my trip. The on site PCR was quick and easy - no wait. You have a three hour window to visit the clinic two days before departure, but the test results (both sample time and test time) are dated for the day before your departure.

I had a day and a half layover in Abu Dhabi on the way back. They also test you for free immediately upon arrival and send you the results via email within two to four hours. I was able to take advantage of the free Expo 2020 ticket from Etihad and go to Dubai for that (highly recommend if you've got a layover in UAE before March 31! Amazing experience) - you only have to show the negative PCR test result to get on the bus each way (same to visit Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi) so don't worry if you, like me, could not get their Al Hosn app to work properly on your phone.
