Full-day Abu Dhabi Tour - A Journey Through History and Luxury

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has a rich history rooted in its origins as a small fishing and pearling community. The area was originally settled by the Bani Yas tribe, whose members were instrumental in the early development of the city. In the late 18th century, the Al Nahyan family, part of the Bani Yas tribe, established Abu Dhabi as a permanent settlement. The city’s early economy was based on fishing, pearl diving, and trade, which laid the groundwork for its future prosperity. By the mid-20th century, the discovery of oil transformed Abu Dhabi from a modest trading post into a global economic powerhouse. The revenue from oil exports fuelled rapid modernization and development, enabling the city to invest in infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
