Corniche & City Walk
-
Morning
Get a taxi in the early morning to the big flagpole at the tip of the Breakwater for views of the city skyline. Walk to the Abu Dhabi Heritage Village close by soon after opening, and spend time admiring the recreations of old souqs, Bedouin camps and barasti living quarters. Stop by a coffee shop on the white sand beach overlooking the city for a refreshment. You’ll need to pick up the pace for a brisk walk around the Breakwater and along the causeway to the Emirates Palace. Take time to admire the jaw-dropping interior and refuel at the elegant coffee shop. Then continue along the Corniche, stopping to catch stunning views of Lulu Island.
Afternoon
When you get to Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum St (2nd St) you’ll see the signs to Central Market – head down here to look at the giant white iconic statues of Abu Dhabi’s beloved symbols – a coffee pot, cannon, incense burner and perfume sprinkler. From here, cross the busy intersection with Al Nasr and Hamdan Sts to the Cultural Foundation for lunch at Delma Café . After lunch, check out Heritage Corner. Grab a programme to see if there’s a cultural performance in the evening that’s worth returning for. Head back to the hotel for a well-earned siesta and then return to the Corniche to watch the beautiful sunset.
