Attractions

Abu Dhabi is stretched out on a T-shaped island which projects on the Persian Gulf. Urbanisation and rapid development in its tourism sector have led to the transformation of this city into the top tourist destination. The city was established by Sheikh Zayed and was designed by Japanese architect Dr Takahashi.

Abu Dhabi has turned into a bustling, modern city with broad boulevards, gleaming skyscrapers, high-rise buildings and busy shopping malls. Monuments such as The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Hosn and the Heritage Village add to the city’s historical charm whereas the Yas Island and Capital Gate are the recent developments. It also has spectacular beaches that are well equipped and safe, numerous wildlife parks, theme parks and gardens to entertain locals and tourists.
