The two-hour drive to Abu Dhabi passes through the world's largest man-made port, Jebel Ali. The scenery of changing sand dunes and acacia trees en route leaves an interesting impression before entering the cosmopolitan city of skyscrapers and beautiful gardens. The corniche gives the visitors a striking resemblance to that of French Riviera in this picture perfect setting of a city.
Next we visit Al Husn Palace, built by the end of the 18th century. We then proceed to the local Carpet Souk before stopping for a hearty lunch break at a local restaurant.
A drive along the corniche brings a moment to admire the grace of Abu Dhabi. As we reach the edge of the corniche, one view is worth a million words. The traditional art of Dhow building will be observed in close-view at the Dhow Yard, leaving behind a grand impression of Abu Dhabi 'crown jewel'.
