Despite being the largest of the 7 Emirates that make up the UAE, Abu Dhabi is often overshadowed by the glitz and glam of Dubai. An hour and a half’s drive away from Dubai, the capital of UAE packs in loads of sightseeing, family fun and a dose of Middle Eastern culture. Holidays to Abu Dhabi offer amazing weather, modern hotels and all the best city and beach activities in one. Lounge on the Blue Flag Corniche beach, explore the Ferrari World that houses the world’s fastest rollercoaster, or admire the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – the fun never ends in Abu Dhabi holidays.

 

With incredible mosques, man-made islands, gleaming skyscrapers and perfect beaches to potter along, Abu Dhabi has the perfect mix of history, architecture and attractions to make this a great destination worth visiting all year round. Enjoy classy restaurants, all-inclusive hotels, golf resorts, waterparks and the world-famous Formula One Grand Prix which attracts top celebrities every year. Those travelling with kids in tow can go for a fun day out to the Emirates Park Zoo, just 35km away from the city on the way to Dubai.

 

Abu Dhabi is certainly a sun-soaked city that doesn’t do things by half!

Abu Dhabi has enough cultural highlights to keep you busy for days.

Take a tour of the beautifully intricate Sheikh Zayed Mosque (the largest of its kind in the UAE).

It has separate areas or singles, families and the general public.

The surrounding marina is an 8-km waterfront teeming with cafés and restaurants and pathways for cyclists and pedestrians.

Stroll along the marina to enjoy beautiful vistas of the coast on one side, and the buzzing metropolis on the other.

Ferrari World

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is sure to give you an adrenaline rush.

With its fastest in the world roller coaster Formula Rossa and some spectacular, hair-raising rides, this is a great place to take the kids for a day out.

There are also live shows, go-karting and shops selling racing memorabilia.

The children will love the attractions and when you feel like bite, the menu is distinctly Italian.

Waterpark Fun

Take the kids to a waterpark they’ll never forget!

Yas island waterpark has over 40 exciting rides including the 235 metres long gigantic tornado waterslide designed to thrill and it would be difficult to tear the kids away once they get hooked to the fun.

Several other rides like Bubble’s Barrel, Bandit Bomber will keep the tiny tot’s occupied.

The latest landmark to the park is ‘The Lost Pearl’ so make sure you check it out if a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
