Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and is where most of the government departments are located and is the largest Emirate in the UAE. Abu Dhabi does also have a lot to offer visitors and students with such as the Sheikh Zayed National Museum, the Louvre Abu Dhabi the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and many other museums and galleries. It is also home to the world-famous Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix, and the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge rally.
