about Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi or Abu Zaby (Arabic language: أبوظبي) is the largest of the seven emirates that comprise the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi is also a city of the same name that is the capital of the country, in north central UAE. The city lies at the head of a T-shaped island jutting into the Gulf from the central western coast.

Abu Dhabi is also a port facillity on the Persian Gulf. An estimated 1,000,000 lived there in 2000, with about an 80% expatriate population.

Abu Dhabi was the largest of the Trucial States and today is the largest emirate in the UAE. The area was originally settled by the Bani Yas in the late 18th century, along with Dubai, but in the 19th century the Dubai and Abu Dhabi branches parted ways.

The local time is GMT + 4 hours.

Sunny/blue skies can be expected through-out the year. The months June through September is generally hot and humid with temperatures averaging above 110ºF (40ºC). The weather is usually pleasant from October to May. January to February is cooler and may require the use of a light jacket. The oasis city of Al Ain enjoys cooler temperatures even through summer due to sporadic rainfall.

In 1939, Sheikh Shakhbut granted oil concessions, and oil was first found in 1958.

Abu Dhabi International Airport serves this city.
