The fact I can’t immediately make a decision demonstrates how Abu Dhabi has evolved over the decades. For many permanent and seasoned residents of the capital, the initial choice was as clear as it was limited: the Corniche.
It’s not so hard to see why. The beautifully lit promenade is both a scenic and sentimental favourite.
Not only is the best place to experience a refreshing coastal breeze from the Arabian Gulf, but the well-maintained eight kilometre path goes through dozens of parks and resting spots.
This is where I go when I am looking for nostalgia and to appreciate what the city represents.
