THE GLAMOROUS GARDEN CITY OF GULF
The capital of the United Emirates, Abu Dhabi, is a dreamy destination for a luxurious escape. It's affectionately known as the 'Garden City of the Gulf' due to its richness in green boulevards, luscious gardens and beautiful parks. Located just a 60-minute drive from Dubai, this cultural city boasts something for every traveller to explore.
Like Dubai, its also a city of contrasts; its roots as a modest fishing town are still evident around Dhow Harbour and the bustling souks, though the city's gleaming architecture and powdery-white sands makes this a charming, luxurious destination.
If you're looking for the ultimate family escape, Abu Dhabi has an array of impressive theme parks, shopping experiences and exciting adventures for the whole family. Indulge in a traditional Arabian way of life, as you explore the Zayed Heritage Village or ride horses and camels across the endless desert. Take a cruise of the 250 miles of coastline with remote idyllic islands and sugary-white sands that surround the city. Or if you're feeling more adventurous, drive a race car at the Yas Marina Circuit, where the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix takes place, visit the Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi and head to Yas WaterWorld (one of the Middle East's largest water parks).
The exquisite hotels and resorts in this city are as luxurious as the shimmering Abu Dhabi mall and the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
