The island city of Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, owes
its existence to the chance discovery of fresh water on the island
around 250 years ago. The abundance of this valuable commodity ensured
its growth and Abu Dhabi is now a thriving modern, commercial city.
Nevertheless, much emphasis is placed on the origins and culture of old
Arabia and the Bedouin traditions, which are carefully preserved
alongside Abu Dhabi's new leisure facilities. This means the best of
both worlds for stopover visitors – golf courses, spas and modern
shopping malls, bazaars, souks and falconry. |
