“Abu Dhabi has worked hard to craft a unique identity and to set itself apart from its neighbours. Once considered solely a stopover for travellers flying with Etihad Airways, it’s now fully established as a destination in its own right – the UAE is a hub for culture and architecture, with a stunning array of beaches, theme parks, world-class resorts and gorgeous golf courses.

“Cultural and architectural highlights range from the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and The Presidential Palace of Qasr Al Watan to the cutting-edge architecture of Louvre Abu Dhabi, showcasing art and history from around the globe. 

“Future openings include the Zayed National Museum, focusing on Abu Dhabi’s rich history and culture; Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, offering a collection of 28 galleries; and a natural history museum, all part of a newly created, dedicated cultural district.

“Yas Island boasts numerous theme parks including Ferrari World, home of the world’s fastest rollercoaster; Warner Bros. World, where families are surrounded by their favourite DC superheroes and cartoon characters; and Yas Waterworld. The nearby Yas Marina Circuit offers driving experiences around the track that hosts the finale of the Formula 1 calendar, while CLYMB Abu Dhabi thrills with indoor skydiving and rock climbing.”
