The UAE's capital is calmer and grander than its neighbour — a city of white marble mosques, world-class museums and record-breaking theme parks.

The icons

The breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the palace of Qasr Al Watan.

For families

Yas Island is a day out on its own — Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and the F1 circuit. Best November to March.
