Capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is a city with a pretty waterside location. First inhabited by the nomadic Bani Yas tribe in 1760, the settlement remained a small fishing village until oil was discovered. The revenues transformed it into the modern city of today – a bustling center of government and business.

Only 1 hour drive away from Dubai (90 km), no visit to Dubai would be complete without going to Abu Dhabi to discover the sumptuous Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque who is the major sightseeing attraction and wows all visitors !
