Khalifa City’s popularity among renters and developers led to the City being split into three subdivisions (A, B and C, now renamed as Khalifa City, Shakbout City and Zayed City respectively). Each of these areas boasts a family-friendly buzz that is perfect for those escaping from inner city life, and as a result it attracts a mixture of tourists and locals.
This is an upscale part of the city, known for its spacious villas, expansive plaza areas, as well as being home to Etihad Airways HQ, the Al Foran International Sports Resort and Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
Restaurants in Khalifa City often reflect this lifestyle with international hotels like the Marriot Hotel and the Westin offering incredible food. Nearby Saadiyat Island is also home to some of the 10 restaurants with Michelin-approved chefs in Abu Dhabi. There are plenty of places to eat in Khalifa City for families as well as some livelier spots across the City; and, with its close proximity to Yas Island, a great night out is never far away.
