Abu Dhabi

A blend of modern design and ancient traditions, Abu Dhabi is a myriad of remarkable architecture from skysrapers to traditional souks.

Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the United Arab Emirates and a popular travel destination for those seeking luxury, culture, and adventure. The city is located on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula and is known for its breathtakingly beautiful beaches, pristine waters, and stunning desert landscapes. For luxury travelers, Abu Dhabi is home to some of the world's most opulent hotels and resorts. The Emirates Palace is a stunning 7-star hotel that offers guests a taste of Arabian royalty, with its gold-plated interiors, private beaches, and world-class spa. Visitors can also enjoy shopping at the city's many malls, including the Yas Mall, which offers high-end fashion, dining, and entertainment. For those seeking culture, Abu Dhabi offers a rich and diverse history, reflected in its architecture, museums, and landmarks. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a must-see for visitors, with its 82 domes and intricate Islamic design. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a world-renowned museum that showcases the art and artifacts of ancient civilizations from around the world. Adventure seekers will love the variety of activities available in Abu Dhabi. Visitors can take a hot air balloon ride over the desert, go sandboarding, or take a scenic drive through the dunes. For those looking for a more thrilling experience, the Yas Marina Circuit offers high-speed track experiences and driving lessons, while the Yas Waterworld provides a day of fun with its various water rides and attractions. The city also offers a range of dining options, from street food stalls to five-star restaurants, serving a variety of cuisines from around the world. Visitors can also experience the local food culture by visiting traditional markets and trying local dishes like Machboos, a spiced rice dish, or Harees, a wheat and meat stew. Abu Dhabi is a destination that offers a truly unique travel experience, with its luxurious amenities, rich cultural heritage, and exciting adventure opportunities. Whether you're seeking relaxation, culture, or thrills, this city has something for everyone.

Its history as a tiny fishing hamlet means that local lifestyles flourish around its oceanic core, bringing a welcome break from the economy-focused monetization the rest of the nation centres around.
The city is one of contrasts: Fish markets and coastlines are thrown up against endless miles of desert dunes. Its Arabian flare is best demonstrated through the ivory marbled architecture of its mosques. Many of its assets are unexpected—visitors will discover the artistic heart of the city through its niche European museums, which are inspired by their European counterparts. Abu Dhabi is currently constructing its own Louvre and Guggenheim in a colossal performing arts complex. The city also has a flair for naturalism, which it presents through its exotic Sir Bani Island. Whilst there is little of Dubai’s pretention in Abu Dhabi, it is not averse to displaying a little ostentation. This glitzy element is particularly predominant in the sprawling Emirates Palace, which is fronted by a seemingly infinite beach and accessorized with thousands of glinting Swarovski crystal chandeliers.

More than 90% of the capital is a desert biome, with populations gathering on only 30% of its land. Typical of this biome, the climate is arid and hot throughout the year.  

Between June and September humidity and heat chase inhabitants indoors to their hotels in Abu Dhabi in search of cooler temperatures. In July temperatures climb to a maximum of 48 degrees Celsius. Sandstorms whip up the desert during these months. Between November and March the winter pushes temperatures down to an average of 35 degrees, and humidity drops.
