You've probably heard about the Abu Dhabi skyline and the impressive architecture all around the city. What you may not know is that there's one place that gives you a panoramic bird's-eye view of the skyline and the Arabian Gulf.
Towering 300 meters above the capital of the UAE, the Observation Deck at 300 is one of the best places (if not the best) to take in the sublime views around the city. It's on the 74th floor of the Conrad Etihad Towers Hotel.
Unless you plan to stay in Abu Dhabi for a while, you won't be able to visit all the attractions. The next best thing is to catch views of some of the attractions you won't have time to visit. So you shouldn't leave Abu Dhabi without visiting the Observation Deck at 300. It is also a great place to scope out 'the Corniche'.
Abu Dhabi's Corniche Road is often referred to simply as 'The Corniche'. It is an 8km waterfront street with pedestrian walkways, cafes, and Abu Dhabi's Corniche Beach. You can get to the beach's famous white-sand shore and turquoise water via a boardwalk lined with manicured gardens.
The Corniche is the place for a stroll with beautiful scenery in Abu Dhabi. If you have any doubts about that, the Observation Deck at 300 is the place to catch a glimpse of how beautiful the place is.
The Observation Deck at 300 has all you need for unobstructed views, with floor-to-ceiling windows and comfortable leather chairs. The ceilings and floors are finished in marble for that extra touch of elegance almost every place in the UAE has.
Also visible from the deck are notable landmarks: the Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Qasr Al Watan, and the Marina Mall.
Beyond the views, the Conrad Etihad Towers Hotel is a great place to dine. Options include Sushisamba, serving cuisine from Japan, Brazil, and Peru in a lively dining room. Others include Spanish Tapas at Jose by Pizarro, American steak at Ray's Grill, and Ray's Bar, where you can enjoy creative cocktails.
