Why Abu Dhabi?
Jet off to the capital of the UAE for a break packed with culture, high-tech attractions and natural beauty. Holidays to Abu Dhabi are ideal if you like to throw a bit of everything into your getaway. Towering, glistening skyscrapers overlook powdery soft white sands, and state-of-the-art shopping malls rub shoulders with mangrove parks. You can shape your Abu Dhabi holiday by packing it with the things you love to do. Spend your days getting a grin-induced face ache at fascinating parks like Warner Bros World and Ferrari World and beaches just steps from the city. Or veer off the beaten track and soak up the natural beauty of Abu Dhabi’s islands, desert lands and oases. While it’s a little more conservative than its neighbour Dubai, Abu Dhabi is packed with incredible sights and welcoming spots to eat, (soft) drink and be merry. You’ll find more types of dates than you ever thought possible (yum!) and sticky sweet and savoury dishes that will delight every sense. Fill up the camera roll and memory bank with a holiday to Abu Dhabi.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s Abu Dhabi’s currency?
You’ll need to use the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) to get your goods in Abu Dhabi. It's simple to change up before you go or grab your cash once you touch down, as the AED is a pretty popular currency in the UK.
What is Abu Dhabi like for a holiday?
The locals are welcoming and will always have a smile for international travellers, and the sunshine and sights are absolutely glorious. If you’re heading there with the tanning in mind though, remember: it’s fine to wear bikinis and other swimwear around the pool or at the beach, but it’s best not to walk around in public like this! We’d recommend packing tops that cover your shoulders, light shirts that cover your whole arms and light linen trousers or shorts that are at least knee-length. If you’re a woman and you’re planning on visiting religious sites, it’s also sensible to bring a scarf to cover your hair.
When’s the best time to visit Abu Dhabi?
Summer (June to August) is sizzling – up to 45C – so it’s best avoided unless you’re really used to the heat. Spring and autumn are pretty pleasant, but still pretty warm. Winter is the most popular time to visit, as temperatures rarely dip below the low 20s and there’s little rain.
