What else you should know: The Corniche area has been redeveloped to host activities for the recent Formula One in Abu Dhabi. This stretch of fine white sandy beaches (the sand was reportedly trucked in, less coarse than the native variety) adjacent to the Gulf is one of the best parts of the city. Bookended by Al Mina Port on one end and Emirates Palace and Marina Mall on the other, this is the place to be on the weekend. Loved by fitness fanatics, families and swimmers, there are stretches of boardwalk, beaches dedicated to families, showers and washroom facilities, not to mention a host of new shops and cafés, including Seattle's Best Coffee, Sugar Daddy's cupcakes, Yogaday frozen yoghurt and salad and shwarma shops, many with beachside tables. Bicycles and four-wheeled contraptions can be rented by the hour. On the weekends there are frequent art displays and events for children, including puppet shows. And almost always, there is sunshine.
Abu Dhabi basically feels like the centre of the world: there are so many different nationalities here, each contributing to
the jumble of languages and dress, not to mention food and talents. Navigating the mix and mayhem can be one of the
best things about living in the capital of the UAE.
A relaxed attitude and loads of empathy can help equip an expat to navigate their way through setting up life here.
Location: Some of the most breath-taking and interesting locations in the world are less than a four-hour flight away: Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia; destinations throughout the Middle East; much of India, Nepal and Sri Lanka; Turkey; Greece; and so much more. People take a lot of vacations here, particularly during the hot summer months, and it can be a challenge to come up with one that will impress the veteran travellers surrounding you. Hospitality options:
Abu Dhabi is expanding at breakneck speed, and if the economic downturn is having an impact, it is not entirely obvious.
New five-star hotels – and with them a variety of tasty and trendy eateries – are opening all the time, and not just
downtown. Yas Island and the area by the Shangri-la Hotel near the Grand Mosque are exploding with new restaurant, bar
and nightclub options, so many residents can almost make a game of racing to try them all first.
Cheap eats:
The capital offers a mind-boggling range of cuisine at restaurants on the street at extremely reasonable prices. Pakistani,
Indian, Lebanese, Nepalese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Ethiopian are just a few of the national foods on offer. Takeout food
is also much less expensive than elsewhere in the world; a network of drivers on motorcycles will rush to get the food to
your home or office and you will soon learn to rely on your favourites.
Culture:
There's an incredible cultural build-up coming soon. Saayidat Island is undergoing massive transformations to become a
world-class cultural and entertainment hub. The Abu Dhabi Louvre, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, a performing arts centre
and a maritime museum are all on the way.
And in the meantime, for most of the year, there are loads of options. Furthermore, although you might be unlikely to
attend the symphony or a Formula One race in your home country, you might be more tempted in the UAE.
Emirates Palace regularly hosts compelling exhibits and a brilliant series of classical performances, the Abu Dhabi Authority
for Culture and Heritage brings in interesting entertainment from around the world. Also, Womad, the F1 and Ultimate
Fighting Championship have all made Abu Dhabi a circuit stop, and big concerts are always on the agenda.
Taxis:
A standard taxi fare in one of the city's sleek new silver cabs is usually less than 5 USD. Rates start at approximately 1 USD
and increase by less then 50 cents per kilometre. Benefits of living in Abu Dhabi: • 340 days of sunshine a year • Safest City in the Middle East (2011 Stats) • Cheap cost of living / Excellent International Schools • 1 hour drive from Dubai • Excellent beach clubs for families • Plenty night spots, bars, clubs, restaurants • Holder of music and film festival every year when hundreds of celebrities visit Abu Dhabi. • Formula 1 Grand Prix each year in the city.
