Summary
The capital city of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi sits on its very own island, shaped roughly in the form of a T. Combining the very best of eastern, Middle Eastern, and western cultures, travelers can admire important works of art at the Louvre’s regional offshoot, admire immense chandeliers and handwoven carpets at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and sink their feet into incredible soft sands before snorkeling or scuba diving in the Persian Gulf. The city’s shopping has become famed for the choice it offers, while it’s also possible to go literally off-road to explore the wonders of its surrounding desert landscapes too.
