MODERN • CULTURAL • OPULENT
Abu Dhabi brings its own brand of culture and tradition to the UAE formula of sparkling waterfronts, opulent architecture, and desert adventures. A world away from the frenetic bright lights of neighboring Dubai, the capital of the Emirates has fostered a somewhat more genteel pace and magnificent architecture in the form of the Paris Louvre Museum and the breathtakingly beautiful Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
Louvre Abu Dhabi
Architect Jean Nouvel sought inspiration for the concept of Louvre Abu Dhabi in traditional Arabic architectural culture. 55 individual buildings including 23 galleries, make up this museum city. As well as permanent collections, separate buildings house temporary exhibitions. The Louvre features a selection of 120 masterpieces and exhibits and artifacts showcasing thousands of years of human creativity across cultures and continents.
Yas Marina Circuit
Abu Dhabi’s Grand Prix is a prestigious F1 race and it is famous for its circuit, which winds around a marina. Experience the adrenaline as you drive the laps, as the racers do, from the drivers seat in an Aston Martin G4T Or, if you want to up the thrill, drive a Formula YAS 3000 or Ferrari 458 GT – a truly incredible experience!
Al Khaznah Desert
Golden sands, rolling dunes, and serenely picturesque, the desert offers both calm and excitement. “Dune bashing” (off-roading) is a form of adventure that begins in a 4X4 as you zig-zag across the desert – at times flying a few inches out of your seat. Test your own desert driving skills in a dune buggy. Then, slumber under the desert sky in a Bedouin tent after an evening of stories and music around a camp fire.
Abu Dhabi is located on an island in the Persian Gulf, off the Central West Coast, in the United Emirates.
