History
Abu Dhabi transformed from a pearl-fishing and Bedouin society into the UAE capital after oil discoveries in the 20th century; Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was completed in 2007 and reflects that modern identity.
Conservation
The emirate protects nearby wetlands and mangroves (e.g., Al Wathba, Jubail Islands) and encourages low-impact visitation—avoid littering and stay on marked paths.
