My impressions about Abu Dhabi and Dubai was that they were simply great shopping destinations where the quality of products are supposedly of extremely high standards. In many other countries when you purchase electronic goods, clothes etc you can never be entirely sure whether you are paying high prices for counterfeit goods but apparently in Abu Dhabi and Dubai you need not fear at all when purchasing laptops, cameras, phones etc as everything is 'original' and I heard that on the grapevine of course!
However, when I searched for tourist attractions in Abu Dhabi it was surprising and refreshing to see that the country has more to offer than meets the eye. Maybe it is just good branding and marketing and I will soon find out. So here's what I found today.
1. Corniche Beach
This is a eight kilometer stretch of manicured waterfronts and landscaped gardens against the backdrop of many skyscrapers and a lovely beach. There are speedboats available and the beach is life-guarded. There are also many cafes/restaurants and shopping areas close by.

2. Yas Island
This is known as the island of adventure and is home to attractions such as the Ferrari world and Waterworld. This a 2500 hectare island which is dedicated to leisure and entertainment.
The Ferrari World is the largest indoor them park in the world and the only one featuring ferrari theme rides.
Yas Waterworld which has been opened only in 2013 is among the best Water Parks in the world - http://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/31/travel/worlds-best-water-parks/
Aquaventure Waterpark in Dubai is also on top of the above list.
Looks totally exciting Chaths! You've got to try out this underwater water slide and tell me all about it! :) Seems like a day well spent!
