Abu Dhabi Map

Map of Abu Dhabi

The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is relatively large, but the majority live and work in Abu Dhabi the City (as well as Al Ain, further inland). Abu Dhabi is essentially an island off the coast of the Emirate and is connected to the main land by two bridges, Maqta Bridge in the North and Al Ain Bridge in the South. If you are coming to Abu Dhabi from Dubai, you will most probably enter the city via the Maqta Bridge. Either way, both will lead you in the direction of where you need to be and eventually to the Corniche. To get to Abu Dhabi from Dubai, you need only to go west from the Sheikh Zayed Road towards Jebel Ali and follow the road for about an hour and a half, until you see signs for the City Centre.

The maps available online have been relatively poor, but recently Belhane have been commissioned to produce a map for Abu Dhabi - and this is the best map that there is for Abu Dhabi. The rest are not amazing but the best ones out there essentially demonstrate the grid system, starting at the north west from coast at the Corniche outwards. This is shown by the University of Texas map. The best detail you can get online with regard to Abu Dhabi is from this one, and the one from Mapquest. TheAbu Dhabi Police site gives a little more detail on some locations, but in the main this is the best you will get without purchasing one of the Abu Dhabi Maps we have recommended.
