Video and Photographic Highlights of Papal Visit to Abu Dhabi
Images of Arab and Christian culture brought together during the first visit by a Supreme Pontiff to the Arab Peninsula.
The unlikely image of a pope in white among Arabic architecture and kandora-dressed Emirati provided many opportunities for striking images.
Here are some of those images taken during Pope Francis' historic Feb. 3-5 visit to the Arab peninsula.
The last video is of a few short interviews with some of the faithful atttending the papal Mass.
