Mini Guide to Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is not just the capital of the United Arab Emirates, but a city oozing oil wealth from every pore. Those glittering skyscrapers you can see dotting the horizon thus serve double duty as signposts, signalling to all who observe them that this is one of the richest cities in the world. Abu Dhabi first made its money through pearling, before the giants of the international oil industry settled here, and if the city has the effect of making travellers feel like wealthy sheikhs, enshrined in their own private kingdoms of wealth and luxury, it also encourages them to spend in a similar manner.

Abu Dhabi’s administrators have been very savvy when it comes to generating further revenue for their coffers: the island city boasts a duty free zone every bit as glamorous as its rival emirate, Dubai. But it’s not all about the money. Proximity to the desert allows tourists to share in the Bedouin experience and take camel safaris as well as guaranteeing consistently hot weather. During May to September, humidity often rises to as high as ninety percent; many travellers, therefore, prefer to travel during the so-called “rainy season”, October to April, where temperatures level out at a rather more manageable 25°C.
