Sitting on Saadiyat Island, Louvre Abu Dhabi is the most remarkable museum not just in the UAE but also in the entire Middle East as well. The striking art museum takes you back in time through the entire history of humanity's art movements, from the contemporary period all the way back to the time of the Neolithic. While the incredible collection of art on display is sure to blow your mind away, the museum's architectural magnificence is bound to leave you in awe.
Abu Dhabi is not all towering skyscrapers and exotic cars; the city also has a scenic and serene side that isn't well-known.

Anyone looking to get a break from the urban city vibes, head to the wildlife reserve of Sir Bani Yas Island where you'll feel a world away. The secluded nature reserve is home to a wide variety of native animals, including gazelles, giraffes, leopards, and the endangered Arabian Oryx. There are a number of ways for you to explore the reserve, from standard 4x4 safaris to walking safaris, and horse-riding tours. Vacationing tourists could also find some of the fine hotels in the vicinity, such as Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort.
