Renting a flat in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE, an island city with a long corniche, major cultural institutions and newer island developments. Most rentals are apartments in towers, and annual leases are the norm, so short visitors often use serviced apartments.

Areas to look at

  • Corniche: seafront towers and beaches
  • Al Reem Island: modern high-rises close to downtown
  • Saadiyat Island: museums, beaches and resorts
  • Yas Island: theme parks and the F1 circuit
