Find information to help you get more out of your visit to Abu Dhabi in our comprehensive online guide
Bathed in the golden light of the Arabian sun, Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates is a modern, beautiful city filled with elegant buildings and parkland. From the moment you arrive at Abu Dhabi’s space age airport, and make your way to your hotel, you will discover a new level of hospitality, and a genuinely warm welcome.
When you first explore the streets of Abu Dhabi, the city seems sleek and modern, almost soulless when compared to the bustle of nearby Dubai, but scratch beneath the surface, leave the main streets, and behind the glamour, you can find traditional market places and souks where it is possible to barter over rugs and other souvenirs. Abu Dhabi’s excellent hotels and climate have attracted travellers for many years, and whether you want to spend your time soaking up the sun on the sandy beaches, or getting active in the desert, Abu Dhabi is a great choice, and a great place to spend your holiday. The best time to visit Abu Dhabi on holiday is between late September, and April, when the weather is slightly cooler than in the stultifying summer months, and many of the most interesting events and festivals of the region take place. Although often eclipsed by its glamorous neighbour Dubai when it comes to top ten resort lists, Abu Dhabi is a stunning place to visit that mixes typical Middle Eastern charm with a modern twist, and attracts travellers who are seeking a truly special destination.
