Two hours in Abhu Dhabi airport

Arrived a short while ago in Abhu Dhabi. The air steward announced that it was the month of Ramadan so we must not eat during the day in public places. I wondered what constituted a public space?

The airport has these bits jutting out that are like circular pods, but look very Arabic. The roof of the terminal I am in typing this has these blue tiles shaped in hexagons with white in the middle. Again very Arabic.

On the plane I watched a great German movie called "Liebe Mauer" about an Eastern German border guard who falls in love with a West German woman in 1989 just before the Wall came down. Highly recommend it. Very moving. Great food on the plane and all in all Etihad gets the thumbs up so far - our next flight departs in about two hours for Casablanca. We are both quite exhausted. Hope to get some sleep on the second flight.
