Abu Dhabi

Capital of the United Arab Emirates and the country's largest emirate with over 1.6 million inhabitants. Abu Dhabi is a harmonious blend of elegant city centers, timeless Bedouin settlements, surrounding mountains, deserts, and sandy beaches. As the UAE's economic and political hub, Abu Dhabi's state-of-the-art infrastructure seamlessly integrates with its commercial and tourist activities. This city is the wealthiest in the world after the discovery of one of the planet's largest oil reserves some 50 years ago. But despite this wealth, it is only in recent years that the sheikhs and the government have invested heavily in developing tourist attractions. You can shop in luxury malls or traditional bazaars, enjoy miles of golden beaches, relax in city parks, dine in top restaurants, or embark on a unique desert safari.
