Observation Deck at 300 - The best panoramic views of Abu Dhabi

You've probably heard of 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 city's skyline, the Arabian Gulf and Corniche. The Observation Deck at 300 gives you an opportunity to take in the sublime views from the 74th floor of the Conrad Etihad Towers Hotel.

What is the Corniche? 'The Corniche' is what Abu Dhabi's Corniche Road is often referred to as. It is an 8km waterfront promenade where you can find pedestrian walkways, restaurants, and cafes, and Abu Dhabi's Corniche Beach with its famous turquoise water and white sand shore accessible through a beautiful boardwalk with pristinely manicured gardens.

If you want to go on a stroll with beautiful scenery, Corniche is the place to do it. But if you have any doubt about how fulfilling your stroll will be, the Observation Deck at 300 is the place for a quick reconnaissance to appreciate how beautiful the place is.

The Observation Deck at 300 is furnished with everything to ensure you have 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 everything in the UAE attempts to have.

Also visible from the Observation Deck at 300 are notable landmarks, Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Qasr Al Watan and the Marina Mall.

But beyond the views, you can also dine here as it's known for its award-winning Hepburn High Tea, where visitors can enjoy afternoon tea with executive pastry Chef Sumeda Palihakkara, offering some delightful snacks, including a selection of creative scones, sandwiches, and savory patisseries to go with your tea or coffee.

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 panoramic views of some of the attractions you may have missed, so you shouldn't leave Abu Dhabi without visiting the Observation Deck at 300.
