What to do and see in Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi: The Best Things to do
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.

DO NOT MISS THIS. we have been three times now ands still staggering to see. We did a day trip from Dubai especially to see this mosque, and we were not disappointed. It is stunning. Beautiful white marble (with inlaid floral design), the largest carpet in the world, stunning chandeliers, beautiful water pools, 82 domes, exquisite design and yet peaceful & worthy of prayer. It is definitely the highlight of my trip to the UAE.

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!!

While we stayed at the St Regis on the Corniche we decided to go for a walk as the weather is beautiful this time of the year. The Corniche is basically the waterfront of Abu Dhabi, it has a long stretch on the waterfront, beautifully landscaped with walk ways and bicycle lanes. A few cafes as on the walk which is so beautiful and relaxing. You can even rent scooters and return them to various pick up locations. Definitely try it out.
