Cabanas, juice bars, deck chairs- utterly lovely - play areas for kids and all for about 7 AED per person ( less than $2) for the day- Abu Dhabi at its best. More

This is a lovely, spacious, new paved and landscaped area for long walks next to the sea. The gardens across the main road in front of the Le Royal Meridien Hotel area (use the pedestrian subways) are also excellent with quiet, little areas scattered among trees and water features. More

Great place to go for a run or bike ride. Always cooler than the rest of the city. Some areas are always under construction, but thats ok.

It has miles of paving and well tended gardens with views of the Abu Dhabi skyline on one side and the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf on the other. An excellent time to go is at sunset. More

Its a long stretch but worth it. People can ride bicycles (as they have a separate track dedicated for the same). A few beaches to get soaked up in water. You can spend the whole evening out here without getting bored. Few beach front cafes. A great place for a family picninc More
