The Club
Past and Present
The Club was called the British Club, and now it is called The Club. Its begins when H.H Sheikh Shakbut, the Ruler of Abu Dhabi at that time, gave the British oil workers some land in 1962. After that, in 1967 H.H Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan gave The Club waterfront properties, so the Club`s location moved to a new place. The Club was a place for expatriate workers and their families to have fun and do leisure activities. In the beginning, it was only one building that was called Henderson`s Folly, but now, The Club has expanded.
It has a lot of facilities like tennis courts, gym, restaurants, cafes, swimming pools and a lot more. Also, there are two beaches; the adult’s beach and the main beach. In addition to that, there is a theatre and a library, which includes a special section for children. According to the manager of The Club, the secret of The Club`s success is it is a non-profit organization. In other words, the money that comes from the club members is spent to improve The Club.
