Abu Dhabi, the capital and most extensive emirate of the UAE, is a place where the ancient Arabian culture is continuously elapsing and the contemporary sophistication is gaining more time. The city that lies along the shimmering coastlines of the Arabian Gulf presents its visitors with architectural wonders, cultural history, and northernmost geographical serenity, as the latter is not disturbed by noisy nature.
The great Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque rises at the center of the town as one of the most magnificent worship places in the world, with one of the most beautiful white marble domes, intricate mosaics, and gigantic chandeliers. For those who love art and culture, the world-class museum Louvre Abu Dhabi will be that place for body and mind, since it is under its famous dome.
Abu Dhabi is a place where you can find nature and adventure at the same time; thus, for instance, there are the golden sands of the Empty Quarter (Rub’ al Khali), the wildlife on Sir Bani Yas Island, the beautiful beaches and the greenery that are part of the city’s coastline. On Yas Island, the city’s main entertainment area, families and adventure-seekers can all have a great time at Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, and the adrenaline-pumping Warner Bros. World™ Abu Dhabi.
Although Abu Dhabi is modern and sophisticated, it has a strong connection to its ancient ways of living—busy markets, bird shows, and friendly locals are some of the things that show this connection. The city is a dynamic and balanced place, giving the visitors the experience of discovery, relaxation, and refinement, no matter if one is visiting cultural sites, staying at luxurious resorts, or sailing along the waterfront at sunset.
