Things to do in Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi: The Best Museums

April 19, 2022 Weston Hennigan

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.

Louvre Abu Dhabi

Reviewed By Downtodetails - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

We tremendously enjoy the amazing arts, the unique way art pieces are presented, the clear mind openness this museum offers to the region, and the beauty of the building itself (outside and inside). The restaurant by the water was excellent too. We came back 3 times so far to Le Louvre Abu Dhabi !

A wonderfully bizarre museum. Clearly a very personal collection, and all the better did the lack of curation. Highly recommended for all petrol heads.

Zayed Heritage Center

Reviewed By FarahNazSattarBannya

Not visiting the Heritage Center would have kept a lot out of my UAE experience. Seeing how they showcased their past way of life increased my understanding and respect for the people of this land.
