About Abu Dhabi

The Capital That Builds for the Ages

As the seat of the UAE’s federal government, Abu Dhabi has invested its oil wealth into culture and heritage as much as skyline — the result is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque’s 82 domes and hand-knotted carpet, the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s dome of light on Saadiyat Island, and Qasr Al Watan’s presidential-palace grandeur, all open to visitors.

It’s also where the UAE’s biggest adrenaline rush lives: Yas Island is home to Ferrari World’s Formula Rossa — the world’s fastest roller coaster — alongside Warner Bros World and Yas Waterworld, all a comfortable day trip from Dubai along the coastal highway.
