You step out of the arrivals hall and the air—dry and warmed by the desert beyond the runway—meets you like a low promise. A driver waits, the vehicle humming with climate control, ready to push through low-lying palms and the occasional ribbon of construction toward Abu Dhabi’s low-slung skyline. The journey between AUH and the city center moves from airport apron to coastal road in under an hour, and the landscape slides by: salt flats, small date farms, and the rising geometry of new towers.
