Immerse yourself in the pristine natural beauty of Abu Dhabi, which is a selling point at the many luxury villas in Abu Dhabi that feature beautiful views of the startlingly beautiful desert landscape that frames the property. Of these, a superb choice comes in the form of the Anantara Al Yamm, nestled in the midst of the Yas Island nature preserve, and serves up a fine spa resort Abu Dhabi has to offer all leisure-seekers who retreat to this splendid Emirate in rest and relaxation. Expand your horizons when you arrive in Abu Dhabi, as this is not just a sky-scraper-laden sandbank. Thanks to the efforts of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, a self-professed nature lover, the emirate is graced with wide emerald spaces designed to evoke calm and appreciation in the minds of its people. Khalifa Park is one of the prime natural enclaves within the city limits, as its pristine canals, lush waterfalls, and evocative fountains are exceeded in beauty only by its huge expanse of peaceful greenery providing respite from the concrete jungle making up much of the city. The Abu Dhabi Golf Club is another scenic arena to explore, and the Old Airport Garden affords a quiet patch of green speckled with trees and dotted with ornamental decorations. The sheikh’s palace, the Emirates Palace boasts what is without a doubt the most impressive and beautiful garden in the entire emirate, graced with green terraces, and lush flower buds for the people to enjoy. Whilst these locations are man-made, the Eastern Mangroves Lagoon is a beautiful reminder of the humble begins of the emirate, with impressive mangrove forests taking up an area of 5 miles, populated by 50 species by bird and 200 types of fish. And of course, the glimmering sands of the desert beckon the nature lover with its promise of the unexpected. Phoenix Tours is a company that offers several desert safari packages to entice and excite the intrepid adventurer.
