Abu Dhabi city is an island located less than 250 metres from the mainland. It is joined via the Maqta and Mussafah Bridges. Most of Abu Dhabi is located on the island itself, but it has many suburbs on the mainland for example: the Khalifa Cities, Between Two Bridges, and Mussafah Residential. It borders with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (south) and Oman (east). The Emirate borders on Dubai to its northeast.
Abu Dhabi city bursts with dazzling business-cum-leisure facilities ranging from state-of-the-art convention centre, luxurious hotels, spas, designer golf courses, theatres and very soon, some of the world’s most famous museums particularly Guggenheim and Louvre. The city’s charming corniche or beachfront is merely minutes away from the bustling city centre.
Furthermore the garden city of Al Ain – lying near the Oman border - is home to one of the famous peaks of the majestic Hajar Mountain and the highest point in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (Jebel Hafeet), which rises about 1,340 metres.
Being the capital, Abu Dhabi also houses embassies and hosts ambassadors from all over the world.
