The capital of the United Arab Emirates is Abu Dhabi and is characterized by its signature Corniche, which fronts the amazing turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. The Corniche is where the majestic Emirates Palace – one of the world’s most opulent hotels sits on 1.3 kilometers of pristine beach.
In Abu Dhabi city you’ll find all the conveniences of 21st century capital living and with some surprising additions. Don’t forget to take a complimentary guided tour of the awe-inspiring Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – one of the world’s largest. Shopping is as diverse as the emirate – there’s everything from marble-clad malls with haute couture brands to a textile souk (market) tucked away behind the main Hamdan Centre and a carpet souk at the Mina (Port). The island is also home to the fabulous Saadiyat Beach Golf Club – designed by the legendary Gary Player – this is the region’s only ‘ocean’ course with several beach front holes.
Whatever you choose to do, you will meet with a welcome which has been extended to travelers throughout the ages.
