ابوظبي is an Arabic Scipt for Abudhabi. It is a proposed geographical TLD to ICANN's New gTLD Program.
The Abu Dhabi Systems and Information Centre filed an application for the delegation of the TLD in the root zone of the internet domain name system (DNS) and to serve as registry operator on behalf of the Government of Abudhabi. Its main objective is to promote the city of Abu Dhabi including its businesses, culture, events, institutions, tourism and people as well as to enhance its position as a leading international center for knowledge and technology. If approved by ICANN, the registration of domain names under the ابوظبي domain name space will be restricted to all entities that are connected and registered with the Abu Dhabi Government. The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority UAE (TRA) will provide back-end technical registry operations for the TLD.[1]
