10 ways Abu Dhabi is actually better than Dubai

For those telling us Abu Dhabi is Dubai's less cool alternative, we'd like to challenge them!

Yes, you read that right. The Abu Dhabi workforce is known to yield higher salaries than Dubai, sometimes in the same company. Wait, there is more.

Inspired by Moorish and Persian designs, the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Mosque is an 82-dome national attraction and place of worship. Whether spiritually stimulating your senses or discovering the library that contains rare historical scriptures and publications in more than six languages, you will want this in your vicinity!

Yes, you read correctly. Both leading international museums chose Abu Dhabi as their regional hub. Try to work with that, Dubai.

Let's face it: We all love to party in Dubai ... for the first three weeks after we move there. Gradually, we get sick of it and want a calmer scene; Abu Dhabi is filled with young families and all the correlating green spaces and house layouts that come with that.

Okay, we love the whole communal family feel, but when do we get our adrenaline rush? Worry not; Formula One Abu Dhabi is an event spanning several days on the brilliant Yas Island with yacht parties and firework shows while enjoying the invigorating race car sounds.

Whether you own a Ferrari, or are in the process of making enough money to buy one, we all have an affinity to the brand. There is a whole world dedicated to it! Dubai's pressure to spend half a million dollars on a car is not welcome at the all-ages, fun-filled Ferrari World!

Because who doesn't love parking in Dubai Mall, walking in the heat to cross the metro bridge and finally arriving 20 minutes later to the other end of Dubai Mall? Abu Dhabi offers the ultimate Emirati luxury of actually parking at or near your destination!

While there is zero natural green landscape in Dubai, Abu Dhabi boasts magnificent green mangroves and islands that provide the perfect boat trip and backdrop view!

Yes, we know Burj Al Arab is everything, but one look at any one of the fascinating hotels in Abu Dhabi and you'll reconsider the true meaning of luxury: The Emirates Palace, The Yas Viceory, The Rosewood, The Anantara Eastern Mangroves, and The St, Regis, which opened before it did in Dubai!

The ongoing 20 billion dollar project is a pioneer in being the first sustainable city in the region, with focus on renewable energy, energy saving and clean tech companies.
