More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Abu Dhabi before dawn and the highway thins into long, glassy reflections of a city that grew faster than any map expected. By mid-morning you’re passing the ochre walls of Al Fahidi Fort and the low-slung wind towers of the historic district; the old creek still pulls small abras across its surface like a living memory of trade.
