Near Emirates National Auto Museum
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque 35 km
The largest mosque in the country, a white marble courtyard ringed by domes and four minarets at the entrance to Abu Dhabi. Its prayer hall holds one of the biggest knotted carpets in the world, and Sheikh Zayed, founder of the UAE, is buried in its grounds.
Wahat Al Karama 35 km
A memorial opposite the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, unveiled in 2016 to honour Emiratis who died in the line of duty. It has three parts: a group of leaning pillars, a pavilion of honour bearing their names, and a memorial plaza.
Capital Gate 36 km
Abu Dhabi's leaning tower, a 35-storey office block designed to tilt 18 degrees to the west. That is more than three times the lean of the tower at Pisa, and here it was done on purpose.
Mangrove National Park 39 km
A protected belt of grey mangroves along the eastern shore of Abu Dhabi island, within sight of the city's towers. Shallow channels wind between the trees, and most people see it from a kayak, among herons, crabs and small fish.
Emirates Park Zoo 41 km
A privately owned zoo and resort in Al Bahia, on the northern edge of Abu Dhabi, opened in 2012. Its grounds are landscaped to recall Africa and hold more than 1,100 animals of over 220 species, one of the largest collections in the emirate.
Etihad Towers 41 km
Five curved glass towers on the Abu Dhabi waterfront, across the road from Emirates Palace, holding homes, offices and a hotel. A car leaps between two of them in the film Furious 7, and an observation deck sits high in one tower.
Emirates Palace 42 km
A hotel built on the scale of a royal palace, all domes and gilded halls on its own stretch of the Abu Dhabi shore. It opened in 2005 and has been run by Mandarin Oriental since 2020.
Qasr Al Watan 42 km
The presidential palace of the UAE, a great white building in Abu Dhabi used for state receptions and cabinet meetings. It is a working palace rather than a home, and its domed halls are open to visitors.
