Start your Abu Dhabi walking routes with the local waterfront. It's ten kilometers of the largest parkland in the Middle East. There are shady paths that will make you feel more welcome than ever, and delightful fountains that showcase the emirate's wealth more convincingly than the golden ceiling of the Emirates Palace.
Include a visit to Al Husn Palace, the city's oldest structure and home to historical archives, in your Abu Dhabi walking tour.
Pay attention to the many mosques that you'll encounter often, whichever Abu Dhabi walking itinerary you choose.
Visit Sheikh Al-Jafar's Palace, a very grand structure that showcases the stunning art of the architects.
Don't limit your itinerary to the city - go to the Heritage Village for a taste of Eastern life and traditions. Try to get here on a weekend day for a stunning performance of folk songs and dances.
At certain times of the day, while walking around, you may encounter locals praying on special mats. Be courteous and don't walk around their front.
