In Al Khubeirah, one of the districts of the capital, everything is impressive and beautiful. But the Corniche waterfront is a particular decoration of this part of the city with its colors full of sun, sand, and sea.

It is a coastal strip 8 kilometers long at the edge of the Persian Gulf, surrounded by everything needed for urban recreation for adults, children, as well as romantic walks.

The famous promenade has long existed in the capital. However, it received its modern look, which is still not final, as the Corniche is continually being updated, at the beginning of the 2000s. For the spacious seaside boulevard, a coastal strip was redeemed from the sea. Like a diadem given to the city per agreement with the sea, the Corniche waterfront bends around Abu Dhabi from the west.

The waterfront is complemented by a cozy park with a beach equipped with umbrellas and sun chaise longues. Floating buoys, located 40 meters from the shore, help those on holiday control their water in-run. A rescue squad works at the beach line. The Corniche beach is well maintained, clean, and safe. However, the place is trendy, and therefore, if you come on a weekend, make sure you come early in the morning to stake a seat.

Those excelling in relaxation can enjoy watching the life of the waterfront, sitting in a cafe by the beach: islets of greenery act as small oases for a calm holiday, coffee and hookah meetings. And those who are inclined to more active walks can rent a regular or tandem bicycle right here on the boulevard to ride along the bike paths.

The vibes of the capital conform to the reserved rules: the spacious Corniche promenade does not look like the traditional bustling resort coasts. No countless shops with street food and annoying souvenir merchants will trouble your holiday. Everything flows on an even keel and up to the Emirates luxury level, clean and stylish. This addressed to the sea part of the city won’t impress you with the effect, typical of Abu Dhabi and other UAE cities, screaming out loud that it’s rich, super-modern, and fantastic. Here, the main views and feelings are occupied by the freedom, space, and air of the ocean.

A pleasant nuance of the Corniche is the refreshing fountains, specially shaped and named: an oriental coffee pot, a volcano, and a giant pearl can be found among them.

High-rise buildings closely approach the waterfront from the city side, drawing the outlines of the capital. And only a strip of stone with an air parapet and green oases separate the city from the sky and the sea.
