Where glamourous resorts offer new levels of luxury and ancient landscapes are home to adrenaline-fuelled adventure, sheer indulgence awaits in this captivating capital.

 Drenched in year-round sunshine, Abu Dhabi is rocketing skywards from its modest, fishing village roots at breakneck speeds. An intoxicating blend of spectacular beaches, seductive shopping malls, opulent palaces and tantalising theme parks make this city the perfect destination for thrill seekers, culture connoisseurs and sun worshippers alike.

 Family favourite, Yas Island, is home to the world-famous formula one Yas Marina Circuit as well as three theme parks that are overflowing with exhilarating activities from indoor skydiving and tornado waterslides to the world’s fastest rollercoaster. When a slower pace beckons, the hypnotic desert sands offer up a slice of Abu Dhabi’s traditional heart where you can witness the ancient sport of falconry and drink tea with the Bedouin before watching the sunset over the dunes.
