A flight to Abu Dhabi takes you to the United Arab Emirate’s sleek and sophisticated federal capital (and Emirate capital), which dates back to 1769. See Abu Dhabi’s impressive Al-Hosn Palace and authentic Bedouin Village.
Explore Abu Dhabi’s rich history at the Al Ain Museum and discover Bedouin artefacts and relics dug up from nearby digs. Immerse yourself in the local culture of Abu Dhabi at the Dhow Wharf and Fish Market, with its amazing city view.
For a quiet day out head to one of Abu Dhabi’s offshore islands or walk the 8km-long mangrove-lined coastal boulevard, The Corniche. Or hike Jabel Hafit mountain, just outside Al Ain City (150km from Abu Dhabi).
Locals in Abu Dhabi love their Arabian Gulf fish. Try tuna, red snapper or kingfish grilled or fried with spices. Alcohol is served in most hotels (and nowhere else) in Abu Dhabi, but for something different, taste Tamerhindi a sweet root-based drink. |
