Abu Dhabi is the largest Emirate in the UAE, both in regard to size and population, and hosts the country’s capital city, along with many oil companies, foreign embassies and other international organisations. Expatriates make up more than three quarters of the population, and the Emirate offers a safe and welcoming family environment as well as a high quality of life. There are plenty of fine dining restaurants, bars and clubs, along with excellent sporting facilities and attractions such as championship golf courses and the spectacular Formula 1 racing circuit. Abu Dhabi is also a great travel hub, within just a few hours you can find yourself in Africa or India, as well as the rest of the Middle East.

Abu Dhabi's culture is firmly rooted in Arabia's Islamic traditions, creating a shining example of Islam's true commitment to tolerance and hospitality. The combination of international influences and a strong commitment to local heritage has created an intriguing mix of new and old.
