Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is a place where modern marvels and rich history coexist. With its gleaming skyscrapers, luxury malls, cultural treasures, and sun-drenched beaches, it’s easy to be dazzled by the present. But beneath this glamorous surface lies a story of transformation that has shaped the emirate into what it is today. Imagine this: over 100,000 years ago, early settlers made their home here, leaving behind traces of their ancient existence. Fast forward to 1761, when the Bani Yas tribe stumbled upon fresh water on what was then a remote island—Abu Dhabi. This discovery wasn’t just a stroke of luck; it was the beginning of a thriving civilization, built on the foundations of pearl diving and fishing. The Al Nahyan family, descendants of the Bani Yas tribe, charted an incredible journey from the Liwa Oasis to the historic Qasr Al Hosn in 1793, establishing their rule and laying the groundwork for the future. As the centuries passed, the landscape of Abu Dhabi changed dramatically, especially with the advent of the oil and gas industry. In 1958, the discovery of oil beneath the Gulf’s pearling beds marked a turning point, leading to the first-ever crude oil export in 1962 and sparking the transformation of the emirate. The year 1971 was another defining moment. Under the visionary leadership of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi played a pivotal role in the formation of the United Arab Emirates, setting the stage for the modern, dynamic city we know today. For those curious to explore Abu Dhabi’s rich past, these historical sites and experiences are your gateway to the stories that shaped this remarkable city.

A digital travel guide containing vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, organic, and gluten-free restaurants in Japan. Majority of them are located in Tokyo, but I've also included some excellent spots in Kyoto and Fukuoka. 🌟 I’ve organized each restaurant with a convenient category that explains what type of food they serve 🌟 I’ve also included links to their websites/social media. This guide contains 50 locations with many varieties of food, including: 🍰🍩 desserts 🍜🥢 ramen 🌮🍔 international cuisine 🍛🍱 Japanese food ☕️🥪 cafes and bakeries 💖💰 higher end restaurants for a special meal 📌 This guide also includes a zero-waste Guesthouse that has an earth-friendly plant-based café and bar, that sells by weight, without trash. 💕✨ I've also created a FREE vegan and vegetarian Japanese word and phrase list to help you navigate Japan, so you can just show people your phone, and point. I’ve also including a handy Gluten Free phrase and help guide, too. My hope is that even if you don't purchase my guide, these free phrase lists will at least help you! ✨ ☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆ Helpful Terms for Vegan and Vegetarian travellers: The more commonly used terms: vegetarian: ベジタリアン (beh-ji-tarian) vegan: ヴィーガン (vui-gan) OR ビーガン (bee-gan) The more traditional terms: Buddhist vegan: 完全菜食主義者 (kanzen saishoku shugisha) vegetarian 菜食主義者 (saishoku shugisha) ☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆ NOTE: Even if you’re vegan, it’s good to start with this phrase, “beh-ji-tarian des” (I’m vegetarian) since it is already rare to be a vegetarian in Japan. Saying you’re vegan will go over many people's heads, so if they say that they "can’t serve a vegetarian", they definitely can not serve a vegan. Some helpful phrases you can keep handy on your phone: I don’t eat meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products 肉とシーフードと卵と乳製品を食べません (o-niku, shifudo, tamago, to nyūseihin wo tabemasen) I don’t eat pork 豚肉を食べません (buta niku wo tabemasen) I don’t eat chicken 鶏肉を食べません (tori niku wo tabemasen) I don’t eat fish stock 魚のだしを食べません (sakana no dashi wo tabemasen) I don’t eat eggs 卵を食べません (tamago wo tabemasen) I don’t eat cheese チーズを食べません (chizu wo tabemasen) ☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆ How to express having an allergy: I am allergic to shrimp エビのアレルギーがあります (ebi no arerugi ga arimasu) For example: I am allergic to _____________________ _____________________ の アレルギーがあります _____________________ no arerugi ga arimasu ☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆ GLUTEN FREE TIPS: Many Japanese dishes contain soy sauce and/or miso, and most of them contain gluten.

Or rye, called rye-mugi (ライ麦). 醤 油 Shoyu, or soy sauce 味噌 Miso paste 水 飴 Mizuame, or malt syrup, and barley malt syrup are in many sweets Helpful Phrases: I cannot eat food that contains gluten. So I cannot eat anything made with wheat, rye or barley.
