About this audio guide
This guide to Khalifa Park in Abu Dhabi follows a child riding its mini-train past the fountains, tracing how the park opened in 2007, named for the country's second president, and built almost entirely around play rather than any single monument. You'll hear about the splash park's lazy river, a pitch open to anyone with a ball, and the Maritime Museum's Time Tunnel ride, where mannequin pearl divers reenact the trade that built this coastline before oil. It's a good one to start near the mini-train stop, where the loop of tinny music never quite stops.
