The 10 Best Traveler Resources in Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi
Atmospheric backstreets paint a very different picture to first impressions of Abu Dhabi. The often slick and modern capital of the U.A.E. presents a fascinating mixture of tradition and progression. Tracing its rich history back to around 3000 B.C., Abu Dhabi maintains a more distinctly Arabian ambiance than glitzy Dubai. Taxis are a safe, reliable way to get around sites such as The Corniche Park, the White Fort, the Heritage Village, which offers glimpses into Bedouin life, and the Women's Craft Centre.

I LOVE this space. I have been here for art shows, exhibits and movie screenings. Manarat al Saadiyat is a gorgeous exhibition space on Saadiyat Island complete with a lush green outdoor eatery that allows for a leisurely and delicious meal. It's an expansive space that showcases a great deal of local/historical work and artists. One of the things I appreciate most is the location. It is outside of the city and therefore has a very relaxed vibe. From here you can hop over to the Louvre as well (via taxi) to continue to get your arts and culture fix. This is a fantastic venue.
