The United Arab Emirates is called a country that strikes the imagination with its luxury and abundance.
UAE, reviews of which sound nothing more than an oriental fairy tale born by a human hand, annually receive thousands of tourists who come to see this relatively young state, which appeared on world maps in 1971. However, despite such a very short period, it has confidently become the center of the tourism industry.
The United Arab Emirates, whose capital is the city of Abu Dhabi, is the country of sheikhs, jewelry stores, the world's best hotels, shopping centers, white sand endless beaches, the sun and blue of the Persian Gulf.
The capital of the UAE, whose name in Arabic sounds like "father of the gazelle", attracts not only tourists, but also shoppers. There is an interesting legend about the creation of the city, which tells that Arab hunters chasing a gazelle, followed in its footsteps to a fresh, pure source. As a sign of gratitude, they left the animal alive, and built a city next to the spring. For many years it was a small village with huts between the sea and the fort, the main livelihood of the inhabitants of which was pearl mining and fishing. But very soon oil was discovered nearby, and in just a few decades, from a wretched outback,modern metropolis. And today it is not only a political center, but also a beautiful oasis in the middle of a hot desert with its skyscrapers, first-class hotels, expressways, wide avenues, flowering gardens, mosques and fountains.
The capital of the UAE, which is also called the "Manhattan of the Middle East", is located on an island just 250 meters from the Arabian Peninsula. This small piece of land is connected to the mainland by three beautiful bridges.
The northern part of Abu Dhabi, adjacent to the Corniche, is densely built up with skyscrapers and buildings with modern architecture. It is here that the business pulse of the city beats, while on its other outskirts there are many villas and townhouses belonging to the we althiest people.
The capital of the UAE is famous not only for the standard of living of its population, but also for the same high prices: Abu Dhabi is now called one of the five most expensive megacities on the planet.
There are a huge number of different mosques here, and the largest, built in honor of Sheikh Zayed, is one of the five most grandiose on the planet.
No less beautiful is Al Ittihad, a square with six snow-white sculptures symbolizing the Arab world.
Another attraction that the capital of the UAE is famous for is the "White Fort", which offers a stunning panorama. Here is also the palace of the sheikhs of Abu Fallah, where you can stroll along, enjoying the beauty of its courtyards, the murmur of the fountain and the coolness of the gardens.
In general, it is impossible to see and try everything that the capital of the UAE offers in one trip. Therefore, many come back here to once again enjoy the beauties of the city, especially since there is no crime at all in the city, and indeed in the whole country, which has very strict laws.
And maybe it is this relaxing holiday, combined with the exotic of the East and European service, that attracts vacationers from all over the world.
