Abu Dhabi is not just the second largest city in UAE but also one of the most modern cities in the world. The city is a fascinating blend of tradition and progression. There is a village that educates you about life before the oil bloom. There are buildings and mosques that are high and wide and the architecture of each is sublime. The malls are humongous and accommodate numerous stores much to a shopaholic's delight. Restaurants and cafes are great in number and quality. Abu Dhabi is often compared to Dubai and has low traffic which heads the pros column. Being one of the most modern cities in the world, getting in or around the city is easy. Accommodation is considered to be slightly pricey but rooms are well-tended,  houses class restaurants and offers high-end hotel facilities.
