Abu Dhabi represents an exciting and surprising destination blessed with gorgeous weather and a wide range of activities.

Abu Dhabi city, an island some 800 feet from the mainland, is the capital city of the UAE. The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven emirates, stretching over 80 percent of the UAE's 83,600 square miles. The emirate includes some 200 islands. The coastal terrain merges with sandy dunes and vast deserts that yield less than 1 percent of arable land. Abu Dhabi isn't the glitziest of the Emirates. That dubious distinction goes to Dubai (dubious in light of Dubai's near-collapse in 2009). But Abu Dhabi is by far the richest of the Emirates. Sitting on 8 percent of the world's proven crude reserves, it is a major oil producer, as the rest of the Emirates are not. And its finances are more stable than high-rolling Dubai. Abu Dhabi represents an exciting and surprising destination blessed with gorgeous weather and a wide range of activities. Whether you are looking for sporting, cultural or entertaining things to do there is plenty to keep you busy in the desert.
