Sightseeing Overview
In part because its development as an ultramodern city has happened so quickly, Abu Dhabi is sometimes accused of being a rather soulless place, with artificial urban spaces rather than historically evolved cityscapes. Still, the city has plenty of attractive features, and there are several attractions worth checking out, such as the Petroleum Exhibition and the Heritage Village, the beautiful Corniche (beach), al-Hosn Palace (the White Fort), the old souk, the Breakwater Island and Sheikh Zayed's palace.
Other landmarks include the Swiss flower clock near the Sheraton and the Grand Mosque, still under construction, whose four minarets are particularly impressive at night when lit up.
