Emirate guide
What to do in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi includes islands, coastline, desert landscapes, oases and the capital city. That range makes location context essential when turning a promising place into a realistic plan.
Plan the day realistically
Check the area before committing and group nearby stops together. A strong choice on the other side of the emirate may be better saved for a dedicated day out.
