Weather files for Abu Dhabi

Where can I obtain ASHRAE weather files for Abu Dhabi?

Or would it be acceptable to use either Riyadh (nearest available on
EQUEST site) or Jeddah (2nd nearest but coastal) for an ASHRAE 90.2
model?

Thanks,

Hi Claire,

You can get an .epw format IWEC file for Abu Dhabi from this resource:

http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata_about.cfm

or more specifically:
