Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Qasr Al Hosn (Al Husn) — Abu Dhabi’s original fort and cultural repository; quieter than main attractions.
- •Eastern Mangroves or Kayak tours — urban mangrove channels offer birdwatching and a different coastal perspective.
Wildlife
- •Arabian oryx (seen in protected reserves or breeding programs)
- •Wading birds and migratory shorebirds in mangroves and coastal wetlands
Conservation Note
Protecting coastal mangroves and limiting water use are local priorities; visitors are asked to avoid disturbing wildlife and to dispose of waste responsibly.
Abu Dhabi transformed rapidly after oil revenues in the mid‑20th century; Sheikh Zayed’s projects, including the Grand Mosque, were designed to reflect national identity and cultural heritage.
