Abu Dhabi

Situated on the south east of the Arabian Peninsula, Abu Dhabi is the federal capital of the UAE. From humble origins as a small fishing and pearling village, today the city is one of the richest and most sophisticated in the world.
Following the discovery of oil in 1958, subsequent exports produced an upsurge in Abu Dhabi's prosperity, with significant investments made in infrastructure and development which laid the foundations for modern society. A busy metropolis of spectacular high rise towers, shopping malls, restaurants and luxurious hotels, coupled with a unique charm where old world courtesies and etiquette still prevail, the city is an outstanding example of how cultural change and economic development can be progressively achieved over time.
As Abu Dhabi's economy has strengthened and diversified over the years, the city's profile and reputation as a powerhouse within the Middle East has risen in the international arena. The region's current boom conditions are witnessing unprecedented buoyancy and optimism, fuelling a spirit of determination and driving achievement, resulting in spectacular growth and exceptional opportunities.
