Abu Dhabi
United Arab Emirates · 5 m
Description
Abu Dhabi (أبو ظبي) is the elegant capital of the United Arab Emirates and a major political, economic, and cultural center on the Persian Gulf. The metropolis is known for its monumental landmarks, including the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Louvre Abu Dhabi, as well as its modern architecture, luxurious hotels, and expansive Corniche. Abu Dhabi combines the traditional heritage and wealth of the Emirates with modern urban development, international cultural projects, and spectacular attractions on Yas Island. As the country’s political center and the capital of its wealthiest oil-producing emirate, Abu Dhabi offers a calmer and more refined contrast to the vibrant city of Dubai.
