An appealingly urbane country overflowing with exotic Arabian mystique.
The 'cultural heart' and capital of the seven sovereign sheikhdoms that complete the UAE, Abu Dhabi is an intriguing blend of ancient and modern, an appealingly urbane country overflowing with exotic Arabian mystique where luxury and style are infused with the traditional values of hospitality and respect. With nearly 200 islands strewn along its coast, island-hopping is a popular pastime among locals and the beaches are the perfect place to soak up the sunshine. The island on which Abu Dhabi itself stands is graced with parks, green boulevards and verdant gardens, leading it to be described as the 'Garden City of the Gulf'. For the best views of the city, head to the Jebel Hafeet mountain peak in Al Ain, where you will be able to explore Abu Dhabi's historical artefacts at the National Museum. The Heritage Village near the Breakwater, is also a must-see and allows you to experience first-hand how the Bedouin lived many years ago. Explore the emirate's old souqs, sip a fragrant Arabic coffee or ride the dunes on an exhilarating desert safari before dinner under a starlit sky.
