Abu Dhabi
From shore to sand dunes, Abu Dhabi’s highlights combine on this Arabian adventure.
Behind the contemporary vibrancy of this cosmopolitan Emirate lies a rich and colourful heritage set in endless desert terrain. Life here is taken a little easier than its glitzy neighbour, Dubai, with the celebration and education of the country’s culture high on the agenda.
The cultural hub of Saadiyat Island is where it’s at for us, balancing mangroves and a beach with a separate Hawksbill turtle hatching site, the region’s first ocean golf course and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Also worth a visit is the thrill-a-minute Yas Island, home to the Grand Prix, Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World.
