Capital of the United Arab Emirates (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

abu dhabi

'capital of the united arab emirates' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for abu dhabi that I've seen before include "Asian capital" , "Part of UAE" , "Persian Gulf emirate" , "Largest member state of the UAE, and its capital" , "'UAE capital (3,5)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
