There are countless reasons why Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is catching up to Dubai as the region’s most exciting and enigmatic city. Rich in local traditions and beautiful Arabian culture, Abu Dhabi blends its historical heritage with contemporary development remarkably well. Jaw-dropping architecture and cutting-edge facilities stand side-by-side with old-style souks, sand dunes and even a falcon hospital.

There is no end to fantastic family experiences here from Yas Waterworld to Warner Bros. World, Ferrari World to the magical and interactive exhibitions at Louvre Abu Dhabi. For those looking to spend time in the sun, you can take advantage of the water sports off the coast, or venture out into the desert with a thrilling 4x4 adventure.
