Explore Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the UAE's stately capital — a city of grand mosques, island museums and Formula-1 glamour along the Corniche. Distances between its islands are long and the sun fierce; Chauffyr links a Grand-Mosque morning, a Louvre afternoon and a palace dinner in a cool, fixed-price black car.
The breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Formula-1 on Yas Island, and lavish palace-hotel dining.
