About Abu Dhabi Corniche
The Corniche runs along the city’s western shore. Corniche Beach is about 2 km long and split into gated sections, with a small entry fee (AED 10 for adults and AED 5 for children); it faces north-west, so the sun sets over the water (Visit Abu Dhabi).
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Abu Dhabi Corniche before you go.
