There is not so much to do in Abu Dhabi in comparison to Dubai but it's more greener and peaceful as the capital city of UAE and mostly suited to the residential and king palace.  Al Ain is further situated about 2 and half hour drive away from Abu Dhabi is bit more greener and with beautiful views.
