Where is Abu Dhabi?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The UAE is located in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula and comprises seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, the capital and largest emirate; Dubai; Ajman; Sharjah; Fujairah; Ras al Khaimah and Umm al Quwain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why go to Abu Dhabi?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It offers a fusion of tradition and modernity. With its majestic heritage buildings, world-class museums such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi<\/a>, pristine beaches, natural islands and cultural vibrancy, the city promises a unique and diverse experience for every visitor. It would be a shame to leave it out if you’re going to Dubai and vice versa, especially as they’re only an hour and a half’s drive apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What's the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dubai<\/a> is often associated with its dynamism, iconic skyscrapers, gigantic shopping malls and cosmopolitan character. It’s a city that symbolizes modernity and luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although half the size and density, Abu Dhabi has a more substantial cultural and historical presence, with a tendency to focus more on the traditional and the artistic while also featuring modern elements. Abu Dhabi offers a more balanced perspective between the new and the old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the best time to visit Abu Dhabi?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The best time to visit is between October and April, although the weather is fine all year round. In summer, temperatures approach 50 degrees. We were glad to be there in December, as the temperatures were perfect during the day and a little cooler in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Sheikh Zayed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The city pays homage everywhere to Sheikh Zayed<\/strong>, “Father of the Emirates,” the former Emir of Abu Dhabi. This politician was the driving force behind the creation of the UAE federation and the country’s modernization and stability. His son is now his successor, President of the U.A.E. and ruler of Abu Dhabi, the capital of black gold.<\/p>\n\n\n
