Overview Abu Dhabi is the capital of United Arab Emirates and the second most populous city in the United Arab Emirates. It is the largest city, geographically, occupying more than 80 percent of the UAE's total area. Abu Dhabi's rapid development and urbanisation, coupled with the relatively high average income of its population, has transformed the city into a large and advanced metropolis. Today the city is the country's center of political and industrial activities, and a major cultural and commercial centre, due to its position as the capital. While Abu Dhabi's wealth is chiefly derived from oil revenues, an increasingly larger percentage is coming from the tourism sector, with Abu Dhabi, in addition to nearby Dubai, steadily improving its international reputation as a rewarding holiday and business travel destination. Today Abu Dhabi's prosperity is most notable along its coast, where the skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and landscaped parks of the capital city welcome a mix of tourists, business travelers, foreign workers, and expatriates-all while preserving the Islamic heritage and Arab cultural roots of the Emiratis. Abu Dhabi is also rich in natural beauty. Its island-dotted coastline gives way to a desert interior of fertile oases, scenic wadis, and thousand-foot-high dunes on the edge of the Rub al Khali, or Empty Quarter, a barren tract of sandy wilderness stretching into Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. In the oases, date palms thrive and forts still stand where caravans once paused along their ancient trading routes and where travelers today will find gardens, spas, museums, and outdoor activities, along with the opportunity to experience Bedouin hospitality.
