Abu Dhabi is the UAE's capital and the cultural capital of the Middle East. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is one of the world's most beautiful mosques — built from marble and gold, it accommodates 40,000 worshippers. Louvre Abu Dhabi is a unique cultural encounter, the Formula 1 race at Yas Marina is one of the year's most spectacular, and the Empty Quarter desert dunes are within easy reach.
