Abu Dhabi is often overshadowed by Dubai, yet it offers a calmer and more cultural introduction to the UAE. From the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the long, relaxed Corniche to the wide open desert just beyond the city limits, Abu Dhabi rewards travellers who slow down. Staying with my friend Gokul, who has lived here for five years, transformed the experience into something more personal. I saw not just attractions, but daily life, community and how people build a home far from where they were born. This is a city made for more than a stopover.

What began with a chance meeting over coffee at Yanar Dag in Azerbaijan grew into a week-long adventure across the Emirates. From the quiet beauty of Al Ain’s oasis to the vast silence of Liwa’s desert, and the towering ambition of Dubai, the trip was defined as much by the people I met as the landscapes I explored. Staying with a friend I had only known briefly brought a perspective on life abroad that rivalled any guidebook, while the open roads reminded me of the freedom of travel and the unexpected ways a journey can change you.
