Abu Dhabi's best public skyline view, from the 74th floor of one of the city's five landmark towers.
The Observation Deck at 300 sits on the 74th floor of Tower Two within the Etihad Towers complex, roughly 300 metres up, giving a genuinely sweeping panorama over the Corniche, Emirates Palace, and out across the Gulf toward the islands. It's Abu Dhabi's main dedicated public viewing deck, in a skyline with relatively few tall-building tourist viewpoints compared with Dubai.
Late afternoon into sunset is the most popular time slot, when the light softens and the city begins lighting up — expect it to be busier then than a mid-morning visit. A cafe on the deck lets you linger over a drink rather than just snapping photos and leaving.
