Since the formation of the Union, Abu Dhabi has progressed from a desert settlement to a thriving commercial metropolis. The emirate is composed of a varied terrain, which stretches from the shimmering waters of its coastline through the dunes of the Liwa to the oasis city of Al Ain. Abu Dhabi: Garden City of the Gulf explores the modern achievements of Abu Dhabi and provides an insight into the emirate's desert heritage. A colourful guide to the modern achievements of this emirate, as well as its desert heritage.
