Abu Dhabi carries a sense of calm you don’t immediately expect in a major city. Along the Corniche, the water shimmers in the sunlight and palm trees, beaches and modern architecture blend into a surprisingly harmonious setting. At the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, white marble glows beneath soft light, while the Louvre Abu Dhabi brings together artworks from around the world beneath its iconic dome. Wander through historic sites such as Qasr Al Hosn, explore the flavours of local markets or feel the vastness of the desert that begins just beyond the city. When evening falls, a gentle glow settles over Abu Dhabi, revealing its serene and refined character.
