Indonesia Abu Dhabi

This island city is the commercial capital of the UAE with wide tree-lined boulevards, good beaches and duty free shopping, but this isn't all it has to offer. For nature lovers there are some 3500 indigenous plants, mangroves, coral reefs and the Sir Bani Yas Island nature reserve.

The renovated Corniche esplanade, with its spectacular new public beach, is one of the city’s highlights. Another one is the Heritage Village which gives an insight into ancient Bedouin life.

Just a seven hour flight away Abu Dhabi has decided not to embrace the brasher tourist developments making it a much more relaxed place to visit than other destinations. Yes, it is a tax-free shopper's paradise but there are also 200 offshore islands and beaches with a large desert famous for its spectacular dunes. So head out of the city to explore the mountain scenery, the wreck and reefs dive sites and the desert in the Empty Quarter, visit Al Ain where you can wander around and experience the charms of old Abu Dhabi.

Today's Abu Dhabi is a mix of historical culture and modern comforts with future plans including the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Guggenheim Museum. If you are interested in F1 racing - visit Abu Dhabi during 12-14 November 2010.

The first links golf course, Yas Links Abu Dhabi, is an 18-hole championship golf course with all 18 holes having view of the seashore.
