A bad hub; I broke down in a UAE capital (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
abu dhabi
'a uae capital' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a bad hub i broke' is the wordplay.
'broke' is an anagram indicator.
'bad'+'hub'+'i'='badhubi'
'badhubi' is an anagram of 'budhabi'.
'a'+'budhabi'='ABU DHABI'
'down in' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abu dhabi that I've seen before include "Capital city of UAE" , "Part of UAE" , "in Middle East" , "One of the United Arab Emirates" , "foreign land" .)
