Soak in some culture at Qasr Al Hosn
For a hearty dose of history and heritage, head over to Qasr Al Hosn and witness the development of Abu Dhabi from a settlement run on fishing and pearling back in the 18th century to the high-life metropolis it is now. The museum, converted from a historic fort, houses artefacts and materials dating back as far as 6,000 BC. Perfect for a post-work family day, and you can even sample some gahwa.
