capital of the United Arab Emirates ("UAE"), is a
progressive modern Arabian city of 1.7million citizens. The
City is set on a peninsular, its sandy coastline dotted with
over 200 islands. With 9% of known oil, and 5% of world gas,
reserves Abu Dhabi is one of the world's richest cities. Already
the
powerhouse of the National economy, Abu Dhabi is also diversifying
its economy and dynamically expanding, with a focus on education,
culture and leisure: it was recently chosen as the site in the
region for the Louvre Museum, the Guggenheim Museum and the
region's largest Performing Arts Centre. People from across
the world have been drawn to live in Abu Dhabi by its dynamic
business environment, its high quality leisure and lifestyle
assets and the unique natural environment of the Emirate.
Midway between Europe and Asia, Abu Dhabi benefits from
a cosmopolitan outlook, political stability and a liberal
economy. Arabic is the official language but English is widely
spoken. A unique mix of culture and arts flourishes in Abu
Dhabi, along with diverse retail, sports and leisure activities
(it was recently announced that a 2009 Formula 1(tm) Abu Dhabi
Prix would be coming to the Emirate).
