Book Abu Dhabi Bright - ASSOULINE

Abu Dhabi combines everything that makes travelers' hearts beat faster—all in one place. The capital of the United Arab Emirates offers cultural highlights such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, thrills at Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Circuit, and sporting events such as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

In addition to futuristic skyscrapers, there are places that are deeply rooted in the country's traditions:

• In Qasr Al Hosn, the oldest building in the city, visitors can experience the history of the Emirates up close.

• Traditional crafts live on in the House of Artisans.

A must-see is the impressive Sheikh Zayed Mosque – an architectural masterpiece. Al Ain, a green oasis in the middle of the desert, also showcases the authentic Emirati heritage.
