What to do in Abu Dhabi

There’s plenty to see and do in Abu Dhabi, from the traditional side of the city to its more modern, forward-thinking side. Head to the Corniche to see why Abu Dhabi has been nicknamed the ‘Manhattan of the Middle East’, or to Yas Island for a fun-filled time at Waterworld, Ferrari World and the Grand Prix circuit. Visit the Sheikh Grand Mosque - one of the world;s largest - explore the desert and head to the malls and souks for retail therapy.

Where to stay in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is a fairly compact city, with many accommodation options being located on or close to the Corniche, the city’s waterfront boulevard. Other options are located close to the attractions of Yas Island, or on the outer islands such as Saadiyat, for a more relaxed atmosphere. Hotel standards in Abu Dhabi tend to be extremely high.

Holiday ideas to Abu Dhabi

Visit Abu Dhabi for a short break in its own right either in the city itself or at a beach-based resort on one of the islands - book well in advance if you’re visiting for the Grand Prix! Alternatively, spend a few nights in Abu Dhabi en route to another destination - combinations with the Indian Ocean such as Sri Lanka or the Maldives, or the Far East including Thailand and Malaysia are popular.

The gleaming city of Abu Dhabi is one of the Middle East’s most intriguing destinations, combining modern skyscrapers and a forward-thinking outlook with traditional aspects of architecture and culture. From the elegance of the Grand Mosque to the fun of Ferrari World on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi offers a wealth of interest for visitors. Add in the glorious beaches of Saadiyat Island and you have the perfect destination!
