10 About Abu Dhabi Captivating culture, breath-taking luxury, exhilarating adventure and the warmth of Arabian hospitality await you in Abu Dhabi. The often slick and modern capital of the UAE presents a fascinating mixture of tradition and progression. Tracing its rich history back to around 3000 B.C., Abu Dhabi maintains a more distinctly Arabian ambience than glitzy Dubai. Taxis are safe, reliable way to get around sites such as Corniche Park, the White Fort, The Heritage Village, which offers glimpses into Bedouin life, and the Women s Craft Centre. Abu Dhabi is the capital and the second most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (the most populous being Dubai, and also capital of Abu Dhabi emirate, the largest of the UAE's seven member emirates. 8

11 Facts about Abu Dhabi: Of the seven sheikhdoms that make up the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is the largest geographically, occupying more than 80 percent of the UAE s total area. At 26,000 square miles (67,340 square kilometers), it is slightly smaller than Ireland. Abu Dhabi has a hot desert climate. Sunny blue skies can be expected throughout the year. The months of June through September are generally extremely hot with maximum temperatures averaging above 38 C (100 F). Luxury cars such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom convertible are often seen on the streets here long before they are released elsewhere. Other popular makes include Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. One of the most important architectural landmarks is the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. This is arguably one of the most important architectural treasures of contemporary UAE society and one of the most opulent in the world. It was initiated by the late president of the United Arab Emirates, HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, fondly thought of as the father of the UAE. (Sheikh Zayed Mosque) Shopping is something of a national pastime in Abu Dhabi, perhaps because it s so diverse: everything from ultra-modern malls with the latest brands, to small, souk-like outlets where you can buy traditional perfumes, handicrafts, spices and carpets. 9
