Petroleum Exhibition
At this interesting exhibition, old photographs, aerial pictures, video film (in English, French and German) and interactive displays depict Abu Dhabi's rapid development from oasis life to modern and cosmopolitan city. It is no doubt the best place in Abu Dhabi to learn about its modern history development into one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

Heritage Village
For a look at Abu Dhabi's older history and its traditions, the Heritage Village is the place to go. It takes you on a journey back to life in Abu Dhabi before oil revenues altered the landscape. The village replicates a traditional Bedouin nomad camp with all its many particular features. There are demonstrations of traditions such as camel riding and falconry.

Corniche, near the breakwater

Corniche and breakwater
With its beachfront location, paved walkways, gorgeous greenery and luxury hotels, the Corniche is a beautiful boulevard winding its way along the Persian Gulf shore. A breakwater protects it from violent seas and also houses a number of entertainment venues. Breakwater Point provides a spectacular view of the city.

The Old Souk
At the Old Souk you can step back in time, but here it's for real. This is not a museum, but the city's most traditional Arab market. There are lots of outlets, and they sell a wide range of goods - from carpets and tapestries to jewellery, handicrafts and textiles. As is customary in these markets, prepare yourself for a bit of haggling. This is expected by all the traders.

Qasr al-Hosn (White Fort)
The oldest and most distinguishable structure in Abu Dhabi, the White Fort is an iconic building. The original structure was constructed in 1793 as the official residence of Abu Dhabi's rulers. The exterior is stunning. Check out the tile work of the main entrance and the main courtyard.
