This historic waterway separates Abu Dhabi from the mainland, guarded by the now somewhat hidden Al Maqta Fort and a small watchtower, on a rocky promontory in the middle of the khor . Luxury hotels and the charming Souk Qaryat Al Beri line the banks. Walking paths and abras (small traditional ferries) help visitors move between hotels and sights, while the snowy-white Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque looms in the background.
