A perfect winter sun holiday destination that flaunts beguiling desert, beaches and loads of entertainment, culture and history, Abu Dhabi exudes an exclusive character that is notably different from its splendid neighbour Dubai. The major ingredient of the city’s alluring vibe is its striking collection of contrasting draws which never fail to impress its audience.
The panoramic views of the city captured with naked eyes or through the lens from a perfect vantage point include soaring skyscrapers, turquoise waters of the gulf, golden sand beaches as well as the massive sand dunes of the arid deserts beautifully juxtaposed with each other. Add to these dollops of culture and history in the villages and towns contrasting with the uber modern and awe-inspiring ‘gear’ that the city has acquired with the passage of time. If you are seeking a destination that upholds an inimitable combination of all essential holiday ingredients, Southall travel highly recommends Abu Dhabi. World beating promenade (the Corniche), private beaches, 4x4 desert drives and camel safaris, water parks and amusement parks (Yas Waterworld and Ferrari World on Yas Island), the Garden City Al Ain and its oasis, culture and history escapades (Arabian Nights Village, Heritage Village), stunning architecture (Sheikh Zayed Mosque, and city skyline) are just a few of the emirate’s key claims to fame. Beguiling wildlife, verdant parks and gardens, luxurious hotels, riveting shopping experience, upscale restaurants for fine dining, as well as the lip-smacking Arabian food complimented by warm Arab hospitality complete any holiday to Abu Dhabi. There is more to Abu Dhabi than you can blitz in a short holiday!
