Abu Dhabi has a new addressing system called Onwani, which allows a person to search for a place in the city just using the unit number of the building and the respective street name. Every building in Abu Dhabi will have a unique address to identify it. Moreover, every street sign and building number plate will have a QR code, which a person can scan on the Onwani mobile app to get the most accurate and updated information about that particular location.

The old addressing system in Abu Dhabi was difficult to navigate around, having duplicate street names and numbers, no sequential building numbering, and using landmarks for directions. The new Onwani system will bring the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in line with internationally recognised standards and make it easier for residents and visitors to identify the location they are searching for. It will provide a universal addressing system across the whole of the emirate.
