Top 10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi
Atmospheric backstreets paint a very different picture to first impressions of Abu Dhabi. The often slick and modern capital of the U.A.E. presents a fascinating mixture of tradition and progression. Tracing its rich history back to around 3000 B.C., Abu Dhabi maintains a more distinctly Arabian ambiance than glitzy Dubai. Taxis are a safe, reliable way to get around sites such as The Corniche Park, the White Fort, the Heritage Village, which offers glimpses into Bedouin life, and the Women's Craft Centre.

I cannot thank this wonderful family run business enough for helping us buy a diamond and design my dream ring. They listened to us and offered valuable advice which in turn gave us the most wonderful experience with our engagement ring.

Fresh seafood is abundant in one of the country's oldest fish markets. Shop to your stomach's content, then take your sea bounty to one of the restaurants, where they will happily cook it for you.

We went to the fish market just to take it in. Ended up buying some fish from one of the vendors. He then led us to a restaurant, where the fish was taken from us and a modest fee paid to have it cooked. The restaurant was basic but fine and served the fish after a short wait and provided water and a couple of other traditional dishes. All great value, super fresh and really interesting experience.
