Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station
Mint-green concrete wings folded over a 1989 terminal — Gulf modernism still doing its day job.
Abu Dhabi
Al Fay Park
The Middle East's first urban biodiversity park — 2,000 native trees, textile canopies, and a hundred-per-cent birdsong guarantee.
Al Gurm Corniche & Eastern Mangroves Promenade
3.5 kilometres of continuous shade pushed six metres out over the water, facing the mangrove forest.
Al Maqta Bridge
A pale blue steel truss from 1968 — the first permanent way onto the island, and still carrying traffic.
Al Maqta Watchtower
A coral-stone tower on an islet in the channel — one of Abu Dhabi's oldest buildings, and you cannot reach it.
