Abu Dhabi is the UAE's calmer, wealthier capital, anchored by the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island. It's less frenetic than Dubai and increasingly draws travelers for its cultural district, Formula 1 circuit, and desert escapes into the Empty Quarter.

Don't miss
Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque at opening time (9am, or 10am Saturday) and on a weekday — it's one of the world's great religious buildings and gets genuinely crowded by 11am. The white marble courtyard in morning light is stunning. Dress modestly; robes are provided free at the entrance.
Book Louvre Abu Dhabi tickets online for a weekday morning — the Jean Nouvel-designed 'rain of light' dome is worth the visit on its own, and the permanent collection is a genuinely radical experiment in universal art history. Allow three to four hours.
If you're there in November, Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets at Yas Marina Circuit sell out early — book a year ahead. Outside race season, the Yas Marina circuit does public track experiences and the surrounding Yas Island entertainment district is worth a half-day regardless.
Take the ferry from Mina Zayed Port to the Breakwater (QR 1 AED) and walk out to the Heritage Village on the Abu Dhabi Breakwater peninsula — it's a small but genuine reconstruction of pre-oil Emirati village life, and the views of the skyline from the water's edge are the best in the city.
