Abu Dhabi/ Corniche. People do different activates and sports in Abu Dhabi corniche during the whole year. Some of them spend their time with their families on the beach and swiming in the warm water and playing volly ball. While others enjoy exercising, walking, biking, and skating.

The Abu Dhabi Corniche on a clear winter morning is definitely a refreshing way to start the day. I completely understood the satisfied smiles of the passing joggers – they are the looks of people who have this whole expat thing down. They understand the principle that expat life in general can only provide you with as much as you are willing to give. Fatima Al Mazouqi / The National

The cloud cover will increase over some eastern and southern areas, the centre said.

Moderate winds could cause dust to be blown across several areas over the next two days with the sea turning rough at times in the Oman Sea.
