When it comes to places to visit in Abu Dhabi, travellers are spoilt with myriad choices. A fascinating mélange of the old and new, the capital of UAE has evolved as a tourist destination over the years. Explore Belevari Island (the cleanest beach in the region), admire the Manarat al Saadyat (popularly termed the cultural headquarters of Abu Dhabi), visit Gallery One to admire the examples of contemporary art or simply glance through the varied collection of ancient coins and curios at the Barakat Gallery—there’s something for everyone here. One of the world’s largest places of worship, a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque—epitome of Islamic architecture—is a must. Falcons are an integral part of the Arabian culture; do stopover at the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital to appreciate this uniqueness.
