Recognized globally as one of the best cities to live in, Abu Dhabi has emerged from the shadow of its glamorous neighbor, Dubai, to carve its own identity in the tourism world. Over the last decade, this vibrant capital of the UAE has transformed into a must-visit destination, and Abu Dhabi city tours have become among the most sought-after experiences in the region.
With a population of just under 1.5 million, Abu Dhabi is not only a major commercial and industrial powerhouse but also a city steeped in rich heritage and culture. Its high per capita income is reflected in its modern infrastructure, sleek skyline, and impressive urban growth — all achieved through the smart and sustainable use of resources.
Dating back to the third millennium BC, Abu Dhabi’s deep historical roots contrast beautifully with its cutting-edge developments. The climate remains hot year-round, with peak heat and humidity between June and September — a time also known for occasional sandstorms. The ideal season for tourism begins in October and extends through April, offering a more pleasant climate for exploration.
