It’s official! Abu Dhabi has made it onto National Geographic’s Best of the World 2025 list, and honestly, we get it. The city ranked among the top 25 destinations globally, and now the UAE capital is now firmly on the world’s radar for good reason.

Why Abu Dhabi Stands Out

This city has a little bit of everything: from the architectural wonder of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the artistic grandeur of Louvre Abu Dhabi to the thrilling pulse of Yas Island’s Formula 1 track and record-breaking theme parks. Whether you’re into jaw-dropping structures or heart-pounding adventures, Abu Dhabi delivers.

And let’s not forget about the culinary scene! With a mix of world-class dining options, including everything from local delights to international cuisine, there’s something to satisfy every palate.

Beyond the Big Attractions

But it’s not just the big-ticket attractions that make it special. Abu Dhabi’s dedication to environmental initiatives - like the lush mangroves and sustainable tourism efforts - shows that this city has its sights set on a bright, green future. If you're looking to explore nature, the mangroves offer stunning kayaking experiences, where you can paddle through serene waters surrounded by wildlife.

Something for Everyone

So, whether you’re here to relax by the turquoise waters, dive into the arts, or explore innovative eco-projects, there’s plenty to keep you hooked. National Geographic’s list just cements what we already know: Abu Dhabi is a city for everyone, whether you’re a culture vulture, an adrenaline junkie, or just looking for some serious relaxation.
