The study of eco-tourism in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi was undertaken as it is one of the most important types of tourism offered by the environment of the United Arab Emirates. The region is distinctive by the multiplicity of data of its natural environment, making it one of the leading sites on the world map of eco-tourism; and a favorite destination for the growing number of environment tourists who can enjoy the beaches, desert and nature reserves. Also there is possibility to visit many archaeological sites, forts and other eco-tourism activities that have a great impact on supporting eco-tourism in the future. This importance stems from the objectives of the study which is focused on identifying the most important components of natural and human activities for eco-tourism in the region. As well to acknowledge the factors and circumstances that affect the growth and development of eco-tourism in Abu Dhabi. In addition to highlight the role of the Tourism Authority to determine their responsibilities and duties towards eco-tourism. Also we propose in this study the recommendations for future plans to use in the development of eco-tourism as it is an important area to attract tourists from all over the world. This study is based on the descriptive and analytical approach to study and analyze data on the phenomena studied in order to achieve realistic results through the use of some statistical techniques like Chi-square in data analysis, processing and for cartographic representation. One of the main results of this study is that the Emirate of Abu Dhabi has the natural elements for the eco-tourism; also it has many of the rich archaeological sites, historical, religious, cultural heritage, folk festivals, events and handicrafts. Also most tourists would like to revisit to the region in the future; and this is due to the developments in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, especially in the establishment of future projects with international standards which contribute to the success of eco-tourism in the region. We must mention that we have noted from the study that there are different points of view of tourists on the defining the term eco-tourism and what it means. The study also found taht the Government of Abu Dhabi dependent on foreign labor in the eco-tourism sites and this may adversely affect the future of tourism in the region.
