Facing the Persian Gulf, on a long coastline, lies Abu Dhabi, the largest state in the United Arab Emirates, accounting for 80% of the territory's surface area. This state is home to the eponymous capital, where cruise ships from all over the Middle East like to dock. With its gigantic skyscrapers crowning its streets, Abu Dhabi perfectly represents the country's meteoric rise. It is home to some of the Emirates' architectural gems, including the magnificent Sheik Zayed Mosque, a neo-Islamic work of art with 1,000 columns and 20,000 marble panels engraved with precious stones. Abu Dhabi Bay is home to almost 200 islands offering a wealth of entertainment. One of them, Maya Island, boasts a magnificent beach, accessible every hour between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. by shuttle bus.

Start your visit with a stroll along the corniche: one of the city's most popular spots. Along its 8 km coastline, there are cafés and restaurants to relax in, children's playgrounds, footpaths and a cycle path. Nestled in the heart of Abu Dhabi, the Qasr Al-Hosn Palace, with its superb courtyard and mosaic doorways, is the city's oldest building. Once the residence of ruling families, the palace now houses important collections of documents on the heritage of the United Arab Emirates, as well as a museum. Moving towards the western part of the corniche, you can contemplate the Emirates Palace, one of the city's most exceptional architectural landmarks. This seven-star hotel spans 85 hectares and features 114 domes, 200 fountains and 1,002 crystal chandeliers. In addition to tours, the hotel offers temporary art exhibitions. For a glimpse into the country's past, head for Heritage Village, located on a beach just one kilometer from Marina Mall. The site houses an exact replica of a Bedouin encampment that bears witness to traditional life in the Emirates before the development of the oil industry.
