Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Known as a luxury destination for travellers worldwide, Abu Dhabi is a cosmopolitan city, the high-rise capital of the United Arab Emirates. The city is situated on an island on the southeastern side of the Arabian Peninsula, adjoining the Persian Gulf, and offers visitors who know how to look a fascinating mix of tradition and modernity.
It’s a whirlwind of sights and activities for the whole family, where you can just as easily spend the day riding a camel through the desert or splashing in a waterpark, dining at the top of a skyscraper or shopping in the market. Some of the most popular attractions Abu Dhabi offers include world-class golf courses and shopping malls, theme parks like Warner Bros. World and Ferrari World, and desert excursions.
Abu Dhabi is a Muslim city, and visiting during Ramadan might mean modifying your schedule outside the resort as many shops and attractions close during the day and open later in the evening instead.
