Much like the other emirates, Abu Dhabi’s transformation into a developed city is very much centred on the discovery of oil. Those looking to learn more about the city’s history and the way oil forever changed it should look to visit the Petroleum Exhibition. Finding suitable accommodation is all important and those in search of Abu Dhabi beach hotels from which to embark on your sightseeing tours can consider Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara. Offering a sense of privacy and serene seclusion, this Abu Dhabi resort on Sir Bani Yas Island is a great place to set off on day tours to the city.
When exploring the city make sure to head to the picturesque Corniche where you will find the fascinating Petroleum Exhibition. Providing an insight into how oil changed the region from a nomadic way of life to the cosmopolitan metropolis it is today, this exhibition attracts some of the leading manufacturers in the world. As you explore the site you will come across old photographs and even audiovisual presentations of how oil was discovered.
