  • General information on Abu Dhabi - Capital of UAE
    Abu Dhabi is the capital and the largest of the seven Emirates. Its naturally desert climate and its convenient location in the Arabian Gulf has endowed it with warm seas and cosy beaches. Its
    long coastline - the shallow waters of the Southern Gulf, extending from the base of the Qatar Peninsula in the west to the border of the Emirate of Dubai on the North East, was once the world’s best waters for pearling. Then, oil discovery in the offshore oilfields of the Southern Gulf revived the economy of Abu Dhabi.
