Attractions

Etihad Square is located at the beginning of Airport Street next to Corniche Street, on the corner of Old Airport Street and Al Nasr Street. Etihad Square is a beautiful park for relaxation in the heart of the capital that muffles all the noise of the hustle and bustle of the city. Six sculptures have been placed in the park: a coffee pot, a cannon, a vessel, a bowl, a tower and a cap, which describe the traditional life of Arab people, which has not changed since ancient times. For example, the national coffee pot (dalla) is similar to the distillery, which in ancient times was used by nomads who brewed coffee and served it to the table. The bowl for smoking incense (bakhoor), which was previously used for fuming rooms, including palaces and temples. The cap was used to cover dishes at solemn receptions of sultans and kings. On the one hand it preserved all the aromas of the dishes, and on the other, it added an element of festive surprise. The sculptures are also fountains.

Qasr Al Hosn, known as the White Fort, is a historical landmark and the oldest stone building in the city. The building was built in 1761, and designed by Mohammed Al Bastaki as a conical watchtower to protect the only freshwater well in Abu Dhabi. But in 1793 it was expanded into a small fort by the ruler Sheikh Shahbut bin Diyab Al Nahyan, and became his permanent residence. Today there is a museum which displays many paintings, artifacts and historical weapons relating to the history of the state. There is also an annual festival of Qasr Al-Hosn, which lasts for 11 days. There are traditional music and dance concerts that showcase the cultural heritage of the UAE. Qasr Al Hosn is located on Airport Street, almost at the beginning of the district, and sometimes festivals of Arab culture are held here.

One of the most visited places on Airport Street is Zayed Sports City which is located not too far from Khor Al Maqtaa in the southern part of Abu Dhabi, and offers a variety of sports facilities. They include soccer fields, basketball courts, gyms, fitness centers, an ice rink, and a jiu-jitsu room.
