Leisurely Walk in Abu Dhabi?ing

Had an amazing time at Al Gurm Park in Abu Dhabi! It's perfect for a leisurely walk with picnic spots, learning areas, and stunning city views along the corniche. Plus, they have a separate track for cycling and even E-scooters available at a reasonable rates which is a must try. I was pleasantly surprised to find gym equipment along the walkway for a quick workout. It's fantastic to see how Abu Dhabi prioritizes citizen's health in such a fun way. What a delightful winter evening it was!
