Destination guide
Abu Dhabi
The federal capital: cultural institutions, island resorts, and a measured pace of development.
Overview
Abu Dhabi combines a growing cultural district on Saadiyat Island with resort development along the corniche and on outlying islands.
It is a common second stop for visitors travelling the Emirates, and a centre of federal government activity relevant to readers following regulation.
Travel information
- Zayed International Airport (AUH) is the main gateway; Abu Dhabi is roughly a 90-minute drive from Dubai.
- Taxis, buses, and rental cars are widely available; the emirate is large, so plan drive times between islands and the mainland.
- Confirm entry and travel requirements with official UAE government sources.
