Abu Dhabi Is A Land Of Rich Cultural Heritage
The last reason to visit Abu Dhabi on this list is the land's rich cultural heritage. The Emiratis take great pride in their long history and deeply ingrained Arabic culture. The local Souks, vibrant marketplaces where cultures old and modern meet to create a singular sensory shopping experience, are busy locations where you can observe these traditions in all their genuine splendor.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi, part of Saadiyat Island's cultural area is the emirate's focal point for modern cultural goals. The Louvre Abu Dhabi will serve as a model for the Zayed National Museum and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi's future constructions, resulting in the city's highest concentration of internationally renowned cultural institutions and enhancing the region's rich cultural heritage.
Another sight that showcases Abu Dhabi's rich cultural heritage is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Covering almost 30 acres and able to hold over 40,000 people, this is one of the world’s largest places of worship. It was built over 10 years, and the world's largest hand-knotted carpet, or the Swarovski crystal chandeliers are just a few of the beautiful traditional and modern design elements that give it uniqueness and timeless beauty.
Moreover, the Bani Yas tribe is also an important spot, as this UNESCO Heritage site is known as Abu Dhabi’s birthplace. The place's lush greenery beautifully contrasts with the nearby desert, where you can visit an authentic Bedouin camp to learn about the Emirate’s humble beginnings.
