A myth about Abu Dhabi that you would like to bust
The myth: “Abu Dhabi is only a city of luxury and opulence.”
While it does offer luxurious experiences, Abu Dhabi also has a rich tapestry of diverse communities, cultural events, and everyday life that goes beyond the glitz and glamour.
Could you share a memorable moment when you felt the genuine warmth and hospitality of the Abu Dhabi community in your own life?
One memorable moment that showcased Abu Dhabi’s genuine warmth and hospitality was during my childhood. His Highness Sheikh Zayed (god rest his soul) was humbly walking on the corniche and he would let everyone come and say hi!
I’m so jealous that my brother got a chance to take a picture with him. The generosity, kindness and humbleness of the Royal Family is what makes this city the greatest in my opinion.
