About Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the seat of its federal government. It is a major centre for the oil and investment industries, and it draws visitors to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Louvre Abu Dhabi and the entertainment parks on Yas Island.
The UAE uses Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4 all year, with no daylight saving, so Abu Dhabi always shares its clock with Dubai and Muscat. In 2022 the country moved its official working week to Monday to Friday, with a shorter Friday and a Saturday–Sunday weekend, bringing it closer to Western schedules than most of its Gulf neighbours.
