A Modern Arabian Dream
As you fly into Abu Dhabi International Airport, it’s probably good to know that the vast array of streets with multiple names is best negotiated by landmarks rather than exact addresses. And you won’t be short of landmarks since this fast-growing metropolis is packed with tourist attractions.
The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is the 6th largest mosque in the world and is already open, nearing completion. Most buildings and public areas are on this grand scale, such as the 123 metre flagpole on Marina Island or the extensive Khalifa Park which, amongst other attractions, has its own train.
Along the aquamarine waters of the Persian Gulf lies the remarkable waterfront of Corniche, which offers a walkway along its entire 6 km. From here the modern Arabian skyline can be taken in and by night the scene is illuminated, creating an even more glorious spectacle.
However, shopping is really where it’s at in Abu Dhabi. Malls such as the Marina, Abu Dhabi and Al Wahda Malls provide a multitude of goods, endless boutique options and plentiful food halls. Stay at some of the finest 5-star hotels in buildings that literally scrape the sky or find more budget accommodations in this luxury city, with over 90 to choose from on Booking.com.

Far too expensive with too many added on taxes.
Far too expensive with too many added on taxes.
This country was one I used to work in and love, and now coming back after 3 years I was excited, however I was totally let down and disappointed. Tourists will NOT come to Abu Dhabi unless the value for money is improved. We will not be coming back.
The saving grace is the cost of taxis, the wonderful weather and the fantastic service.

Auh is a modern city , but I must say that the city serious have shortage of place to dine in general whether it be street side or even in the Mall , Make sure you are prepared and secondly the people seemed very distant and few and far in between , parking is a huge problem

There's as much or as little as you want to do.

Yas beach is lovely, though really too hot in high season.
Yas mal gives loads of shopping choice though more expensive than the uk for same goods.
Grand mosque is a must, absolutely stunning.
Endless choice for food and drink, worth doing your homework before you go for daily offers/happy hours/ladies nights.
Taxis are easy and cheap.

Amazing quite city if you would compare it to dubai's noise. I'll be a frequent visitor for sure!
I like the yas mall and no. Fifty seven cafe.
Most of the time i took taxis and if i dont find any i'd call the national taxi company to send me one.
The kids enjoyed being around swimming pools and yas water world they also liked the emirates park zoo so much.
“Good location, very helpful staff nice beach and the breakfast was good. Room service very quick and efficient. Its part of the Shangri La hotel which is about a five min walk (though they will take you there in a golf buggy for free) which has some amazing bars and restaurants and you can use your Traders room card to pay for meals there as well. Great little hotel. i had a room on the fourth floor which was good, never had to wait more than 10 seconds for a lift which is fantastic. Good location to see all the sites in Abu Dhabi”
