Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is one of the most organized and industrious cities in the world, given that five decades ago, it was nothing but a desert with little to be desired as a tourist destination. Currently, however, it is a magnet for all kinds of interests, bringing in hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. As a tourist destination, some of the unmissable attractions here include some theme parks and amusement parks in Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, “Global Culture & Art Collection” at Louvre Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Island, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, and the lovely nature reserve on Sir Bani Yas Island.
