An eight-kilometre seafront promenade arcing along the north-western edge of the city, with a manicured strip of public beach on one side and a dual-carriageway lined with high-rises on the other. It is where Abu Dhabi takes its evening walk: families with strollers, joggers, men in dishdash with their friends, expatriates with their dogs.
The path divides into a pedestrian lane and a separated cycle track; bike rental docks are scattered along the length. The Heritage Village is at the western end, the Marina Mall opposite, the World Trade Center at the eastern. Best between November and March, after sunset year-round.
