Corniche Road, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Abu Dhabi's Corniche Beach is said to be an "immaculate outdoor destination ... overlook[ing] the glory of the open Arabian Gulf". Divided into paid and unpaid areas, the beach stretches over 2 km. My BFF and I didn't go to the paid area, which have more things going on, so this post showcases only the unpaid area.
The beach is within walking distance from
Oryx Hotel. The unpaid area, however, is a bit further to the southwest.

a culture of giving among residents and visitors. |
Except for the two of us, nobody went to the beach after sunset.

| You can see the 8th tallest flagpole in the world from the beach. |

| Don't you love the colours of the sky? |
Since there wasn't much to do at the beach, we moved away from the sandy area to the slightly more lively Al Bahar at the Corniche lined with shops and eateries. I'm sure the area sees many more people during the weekend.

| There's an open-air payable gym if you wish to do workout. |
We also dropped by the beach the following morning to see Abu Dhabi's first inflatable water park by Aquafun. The largest one in the world, operated by the same company, is in Dubai.

Here are the sights that we missed the previous evening.
