Abu Dhabi Grammar School (Canada) is located in Abu Dhabi, which is the capital and the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi is one of the seven United Arab Emirates. The city lies on a T-shaped island jutting into the Persian Gulf in the Arabian Peninsula. The city and its surrounding communities make up an area of 67,340 km2 (26,000 sq mi). Abu Dhabi houses important offices of the federal government, and is the seat for the United Arab Emirates Government and the home for the Emirati Royal Family. Abu Dhabi has grown to be a cosmopolitan metropolis. Its rapid development and urbanization, coupled with the relatively high average income of its population, has transformed Abu Dhabi.
