Abu Dhabi is my favorite of the seven Emirates with a great combination of city life and natural wonders. The downtown is very compact with gorgeous buildings like Dubai, all built with oil money. Directly across the bay from downtown are miles of sandy beaches, picnic areas and wonderful beachfront restaurants.
A great way to explore Abu Dhabi is by taking a tour with the Big Bus Company which operates here and Dubai. It is a double-decker tour bus and provides ear buds to hear commentary along the way with hop on and hop off service at stops around the city. Over the course of a day, we made 11 stops with a visit to a Tower to see a 360 degree view, a museum, the Emirates Palace, the Grand Mosque and many Souks.
Our next stop we will be leaving the UAE and visiting the island of Bahrain.
