Abu Dhabi, Capital city and administrative center in United Arab Emirates
Abu Dhabi stretches across a T-shaped island and the mainland, connected by multiple bridges spanning the waters of the Persian Gulf.
The region transformed from a settlement of 300 palm frond huts in the early 1900s to become the federal capital of the United Arab Emirates in 1971.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque represents Islamic architecture through its 82 white domes, 1,096 columns, and prayer halls that welcome 55,000 visitors daily.
The city maintains a network of public buses, water taxis, and regular taxi services that connect residential districts with commercial centers and tourist attractions.
Abu Dhabi Investment Authority manages the world's third-largest sovereign wealth fund, directing revenues from oil production into global investments.
