Umm Al Emarat Park

This guide to Umm Al Emarat Park in Abu Dhabi starts with an unlikely Guinness World Record set here for dessert, then reaches back to 1982, when the grounds opened as a walled garden open only to women and children. It follows the site through three decades behind those walls, a two-year redesign starting in 2013, and its 2016 renaming to honor Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak. Head toward the amphitheater on a weekend morning, where stalls of honey, eggs and baked goods line the lawn.
