About The Corniche promenade
Walk the Corniche promenade in the late afternoon, past the gardens and the gated beach sections, with Lulu Island offshore and the skyline behind; the views face north-west, so the sun goes down over the sea (Visit Abu Dhabi).
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with The Corniche promenade before you go.
