The nerve centre of the city, the Corniche Road is one of the most popular areas to live in the UAE capital. Think sea views, walks on the pristine beach, picnics in the park, strolls on the beachfront promenade and more. Residents have a host of public beaches and themed parks in the neighbourhood to spend their weekends lounging around. Children can have fun at the Skate Park while fitness enthusiasts have bike tracks and other facilities on the beach. For retail, there are convenience stores scattered across the neighbourhood, besides a Spinneys and Abela supermarket and the boutique mall, Nation Galleria. The waterfront locality also houses an architectural marvel, Jumeirah at Etihad Towers, whose Observation Deck offers spectacular views of the Corniche.

Don’t miss: Latin fare at Café Diego and Indian fine dining at Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor, both at Nation Galleria mall, and the tiramisu at The Third Place Cafe
