- Abu Dhabi city is on an island that is much longer than it is wide. Streets running across the width of the island (east-west) have odd numbers, streets running along the length of the island (north-south) have even numbers. Many streets also have other names which might be marked on maps, and common names which are rarely marked on maps but are what everyone uses in everyday conversation, and what taxi drivers will understand.
- The words "Road" and "Street" are often used interchangeably, with no rhyme or reason.
- Abu Dhabi is split down the middle by Airport Road, some street names for roads that cross Airport Rd (odd numbers) change from one side of Airport Rd to the other - sometimes common names, sometimes map names, sometimes both, just to make sure you never make it home in time for supper.
- The Emirates Palace side of the island is west, the Tourist Club Area is east, with the Airport Rd as the divider. Some road names will have East or West added on, usually related to what side of the Airport Rd they're on.
- Streets named after a male member of a royal family will normally start with "Sheikh" but it's a bit random whether maps show this or not.
- Within each grid sector between the main roads, the minor roads are also numbered, so there are many different minor "1st Streets" for example - one in every sector. Main roads are signposted in blue, minor roads are signposted in green.
- If you're new to Abu Dhabi, go out early for a drive on a Friday morning (there's much less traffic) to familiarise yourself with the pattern and some landmarks.
