Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab
Emirates, sits off the mainland on an island in
the Persian (Arabian) Gulf. Its focus on oil
exports and commerce is reflected by the
skyline's modern towers and shopping
megacenters such as Abu Dhabi and Marina
malls. Beneath white-marble domes, the vast
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque features an
immense Persian carpet, crystal chandeliers
and capacity for 41,000 worshipers.
