Beautiful long walkway

The Corniche is a beautiful long walkway that is lovely for a stroll or a run. There are also many cafes and restaurants for a quick pit stop as well including places like the Hilton (in the picture).

Best place for a LONG WALK exercise in Abu Dhabi

It's about 10 miles long of nice boardwalk next to the beach and turquoise waters of Abu Dhabi and along the ultra-modern skyline of Abu Dhabi. You can walk, that's what I do on a quiet Friday afternoon, for more then an hour. You can...More

A lovely stroll

The Corniche is a lovely place to walk along to get a view of the gulf or back over Abu Dhabi city. It is very popular with locals and tourists alike due to the open space. It literally took my breath away, the views are...More

Great place to stay

We stayed at a hotel that was very close to the corniche and had a great view of the beach, from the rooms and pool terrace. Our hotel ran a shuttle to the corniche and back several time a day - but because our visit...More

Lovely hotel with friendly and professional hospitality. Excellent service

My husband had emailed the Corniche (once he’d realised that the rooms we had booked weren’t sea view) requesting seaview rooms as a treat for my 40th birthday, which the staff very promptly responded with an ‘of course’ to our delight. The hotel is very...More

We are planning to visit the Corniche when we are in Abu Dhabi in October. The Corniche seems quite long ! Where would be the best place to start a walk and finish - taking in the sights and perhaps some nice restaurants along the way?

If you’re staying on the corniche I suggest you start at your hotel and just choose a direction to walk. Plenty along the way to see or hotels to stop at for a meal or refreshments.
