ABU DHABI

Located in the Arabian Peninsula, there is more to Abu Dhabi than the lavish hotels, breathtaking skyscrapers, and luxury shopping malls for which it is renowned. While these attractions are reason enough to visit, the Island City of Abu Dhabi has a wealth of activities for every traveler. Located on the north-eastern side of the Persian Gulf, Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. This unique island is connected to the mainland by four bridges: Sheikh Zayed, Sheikh Khalifa, Maqta and Mussafah bridges.
Offering a more traditional experience than Dubai, visitors find more opportunity to encounter and interact with locals in Abu Dhabi. Many are astonished to find impressive fauna and flora in the middle of the desert but an archipelago of natural islands off Abu Dhabi's coast delivers exactly that from cheetahs and hyenas to toothbrush trees and frankincense. The Sheik Zayed mosque is an architectural wonder with its pure marble walls decorated with gems, stunning chandeliers, gilded calligraphy and Mamluk, Ottoman and Faklid styles . Art and culture buffs will find a new cultural center that includes outposts of the Guggenheim and Louvre museums. And then there is the region’s finest seaside golf course as well as the massive Yas Waterpark that is refreshingly cool fun for both kids and adults.
