Abu Dhabi, the capital and largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates, stands as a global powerhouse with a GDP of over $290 billion. Home to approximately 1.5 million people, the city seamlessly blends traditional Arabian culture with ultra-modern development, backed by its vast sovereign wealth fund, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA).
The emirate continues to diversify its economy beyond oil through major initiatives like Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. Key developments include the expansion of Abu Dhabi International Airport's new Terminal A, the growth of Masdar City as a sustainable urban development hub, and major investments in technology and renewable energy sectors through entities like Hub71 and ADNOC.
Abu Dhabi's cultural landscape thrives with world-class attractions such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which welcomed over two million visitors since its opening, and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, attracting millions of visitors annually. The city hosts major events like the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Abu Dhabi Art fair, and various cultural festivals celebrating both local heritage and international arts.
Founded as a fishing settlement in the 18th century, Abu Dhabi's transformation began after oil was discovered in 1958. Under the visionary leadership of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the emirate evolved from a pearling community into a modern metropolis. This legacy continues through ambitious projects like Saadiyat Island's Cultural District and the development of Yas Island as an entertainment destination.
