Abu Dhabi isn't just about gold everywhere, but also "invisible bombs"?

If you don't pay attention to these issues, your UAE trip might encounter problems!

Be cautious with "Arabian buffets" near tourist spots – you might encounter overpriced frozen seafood;
Visa-free entry requires a passport valid for 6 months + return flight reservation, as border control may randomly check hotel bookings;
Drones are prohibited! Unauthorized photography in mosques/presidential palaces carries heavy fines!

The luxurious ode where desert meets ocean – must-visit new classics:
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
Domes adorned with 46 tons of gold, 7 chandeliers embedded with millions of Swarovski crystals, and a 5,400㎡ handmade carpet.

Louvre Abu Dhabi
The "Rain of Light" dome installation projects star trails after 3 PM. 23 galleries arranged by civilizational dialogue logic, with a stunning permanent exhibition of Chinese bronzes.
The museum café faces the bay – golden waves pierce through the dome at sunset, creating perfect photo ops.

Qasr Al Watan Presidential Palace
The $1.5 billion royal conference hall features gold calligraphy walls and diamond-encrusted national emblems. Night light shows transform the architecture into a giant canvas.

SeaWorld
Watch manta rays dance behind 20-meter "Endless Ocean" viewing windows. The -2°C penguin habitat provides free down jackets.

Abu Dhabi's magic lies in transforming desert roughness into gold leaf and condensing ocean depths into starlit domes. Its safety, visa-free policy, and Chinese-language services provide the confidence for free exploration.
