When to go to Abu Dhabi?
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the set piece: white marble, inlaid flowers and reflecting pools that double everything at dusk. On Saadiyat, the Louvre Abu Dhabi shelters its galleries under a perforated dome that filters the light into a slow rain of dots. The Corniche unrolls beach and cycle path along the whole waterfront, while Yas Island keeps the theme parks and the Grand Prix circuit.
