The City of Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi does not have a long history as the place was inhabited just about 250 years back. In 1760, Bani Yas (a nomadic tribe) discovered water on the Island of Abu Dhabi and constructed their first township there. For most part of history, it remained a small place fishing village till oil was discovered here around 50 years back.

Today Abu Dhabi is one of the most modern cities in the world. It is the center of government and business life in the UAE, headquarters of the emirates oil operating companies and embassies are based here. The architecture of its modern buildings and sky scrapers is the finest in the Middle East. Abu Dhabi's oil wealth has been wisely utilized to encourage a healthy trade and commerce atmosphere apart from oil industries too.

Wealthiest of all the Emirates in UAE and federal capital, Abu Dhabi is one of the richest cities in the world.
