Top 6 Architectural Buildings 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.

Qasr Al Watson is grandiose and a must when visiting Abu Dhabi. I don’t think I have ever seen such a majestic, luxurious, enchanting and stunning palace in my entire life!!! It is decorated with impeccable taste and rich in history. The marble covering the entire palace is superb. I will revisit again!!

A visit to the observation deck of the Etihad towers was part of our tour from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and it was wonderful to see the sight of this cool city from up above. There was no line to get up the elevator and we had plenty of time to enjoy the view.

Nation Towers is a wonderful development along the Corniche, the views are outstanding and the buildings all have lovely finishes. From Nation Towers Residential Apartments you are able to walk directly into the St Regis Hotel as well as the Nation Towers Galleria Mall. The restaurants and bars in St Regis Hotel are all first class (albeit a little expensive), but easily accessible from Nation Towers and residents are able to take advantage of a 20% discount. The Nation Towers Galleria Mall has some lovely restaurants and coffee shops as well as a cinema. There is an underpass through which you can directly access the Corniche beach from St Regis Hotel so it is really central too.
