Abu Dhabi Central Capital District, Administrative region in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The Abu Dhabi Central Capital District extends across mainland and islands, containing governmental institutions, residential zones, and commercial centers of the emirate.
The district emerged from the traditional territory of the Bani Yas confederation, which settled in the region during the late 14th century.
The name of the district stems from Arabic words referring to gazelles that inhabited the area before urban development began.
Major highways connect different parts of the district, including Sheikh Zayed Road and Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Road, facilitating transportation between settlements.
The district incorporates natural wetlands where flamingos nest among modern infrastructure and urban developments.
