TOTAL GUIDE TO ABUDHABI
WHERE TO PARK THE JET...
Winter sunshine and Arabian hospitality await you in the capital of the United Arab Emirates. More self-assured and less frenetic than neighboring Dubai, largely due to oil wealth, it has taken a more leisurely and measured approach to tourism. The result is a considered, confident city that melds traditional with state-of-the- art, luxury with tranquillity and full-on excitement with an evolving restaurant scene. The city is made up of dozens of islands (not man-made like Dubai’s) and this geography is being used cleverly to focus on the different aspects the city has to offer. Whichever you choose, you are assured of a warm welcome – as the locals say bayti baytak (my house is your house).
