Stretching for six kilometers from one end of Abu Dhabi to the other, the Corniche with its manicured lawns and flowerbeds has become an iconic landmark for romantic walks, athletes, families, and a chance to just escape from the city's skyscrapers and sit in the shade of a mangrove tree and just be.
The Corniche has become such an integral part of the capital, a combination of money planning to create a landmark that belongs to everyone.
Today, the Corniche is a bustling hub for athletes from as early as 5 a.m. and ending back into the early hours of the morning.
The drink and snack machines dotted throughout the Corniche are an added bonus for those who don't feel like carrying a water bottle. With a separate lane for cyclists, others who are enjoying a peaceful walk don't have to dodge their way around cyclists.
The Corniche is packed with parks, fountains, playgrounds, flowerbeds on both sides of the main stretch, with facilities to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists alike.
With the municipality developing projects to place to extend sandy beaches into the sea, the Corniche is destined to be more than a bustling destination.
