The Award-Winning Tour Specialist
In the past half a century, Abu Dhabi has had a meteoric rise from obscure fishing village to a mega city that is the capital of the UAE, one of the world’s richest countries. It’s vibe, though, is not what you’d expect. Here, locals are warm and welcoming, things are slow-paced and traditional, ancient heritage given just as much space as modern marvels. Fringed by spectacular beaches lapped by the Persian Gulf and surrounded by the starkness of the Al Khatim Desert, on your stopover in Abu Dhabi it’s easy to find yourself in the sway of this city’s many charms.
Plenty of gleaming skyscrapers, thrilling theme parks and contemporary architecture there may be, but Abu Dhabi still operates in the old ways. Wooden dhows chug across the bay, haggling is still preferred in the old souks, and wandering the maze of backstreets leads to old-world adventures. For those who want more than beaches, high-end shopping and sampling the vibrant food scene, head out into the endless desert for action-packed activities or a glimpse at a different way of life.
Marvel at the grandeur of Sheikh Zayed Mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. With its gleaming white domes, intricate mosaics and world’s largest hand-knotted carpet, this iconic landmark offers a serene and awe-inspiring glimpse into Emirati culture and craftsmanship.
Take in sweeping views of Abu Dhabi’s skyline on a scenic drive along the Corniche. This waterfront stretch offers manicured promenades, sparkling beaches and striking cityscapes.
Experience the thrill of a desert safari, where golden dunes stretch endlessly under the sun. Enjoy dune bashing, camel rides and sunset views before a traditional Bedouin-style camp with dinner and entertainment.
