Sheikh Zayed Stadium
Abu Dhabi’s $22 million Sheikh Zayed Stadium is one of the world’s best cricket venues. It opened in May 2004 and hosted its first first-class fixture in November’s Intercontinental Cup encounter between Scotland and Kenya.
Both ends of the pitch have enormous stands, and the square of the wicket has large grass banking for fans to sit on, but it’s not shaded in daylight. The enormous changing facilities are under one of the stands, and teams watch from air-conditioned glass chambers.
The venue is rural and 30 minutes from the city center.
