Things to do in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is a modern city, having a rich historical background. Signature Corniche overlooking the vast Arabian Gulf and sky-scrapers flanking the skyline of Abu Dhabi make it a popular tourist destination. Island city’s coastline, marine life, wildlife, public parks, large landscapes, heritage sites and beautiful fountains offer enthralling views in the city.

One can cycle on hired bicycles, go surfing, roller-skate, jog, visit public beaches with nominal entrance fee or simply sip coffee while strolling on the pavements. Tourists can join Yellow Boat speedboat tour, rent an Arabian Dinner Cruise or take the Big Bus Company's open-top tours to the Corniche.

Visitors can even go on dhow tours or take a personalised coastline trip from Sea Cruiser. The fact that the finest carpets in the world are made in the UAE makes a rug crawl a must for every tourist.

Other than these attractions, visitors can watch camel racing at Al Wathba Camel Track, drive on one of the world’s best driving road to the Al Ain Oasis or camp overnight in the desert. Furthermore, one can go for fishing, skiing, kite safaris, or powerboat racing or can visit the traditional fish markets.
