Abu Dhabi Central Capital District, Administrative region in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The Abu Dhabi Central Capital District spans mainland and islands, containing governmental offices, homes, and business areas for the emirate. The zone links different settlements through highways and basic infrastructure systems.
The zone emerged from traditional territory of the Bani Yas confederation, which settled here in the late 14th century. This tribal group laid the foundation for how settlements and societies would develop in the area.
The name references gazelles that roamed these lands before cities grew here. This connection to the region's earlier landscape shapes how locals understand their territory's roots.
Major highways cross the zone, including Sheikh Zayed Road and Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Road, making travel between areas straightforward. Both public transport and private cars serve as common ways to get around this spread-out region.
The zone preserves natural wetlands where flamingos nest amid modern buildings and roads. This side-by-side existence of wildlife habitats and new construction shows how the area has kept some original ecosystems despite rapid growth.
