Hotels in Abu Dhabi

With sunshine all-year round and beautiful white beaches, Abu Dhabi offers a taste of luxury without the hustle and bustle of its larger neighbours. Many hotels in Abu Dhabi even have their own spas, shopping malls, and theme parks, allowing you to relax without leaving your doorstep.

Sports  

Formula One fans will love the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix which takes place here each year at the Yas Marina Circuit and attracts many tourists to the cheap hotels in Abu Dhabi.

For racing of a more traditional kind, see camels competing against each other on a specially made track at Al Wathba Camel Race Track or the Al Maqam Track near Al Ain. The races usually take place on weekend mornings and are free.

 If you prefer a gentler pace, the city also has world-class golfing facilities just a short drive away, such as the beautiful Saadiyat Beach Golf Club or the Abu Dhabi City Golf Club, with the city's majestic skyline in the distance.

Ferrari World theme park

It's fitting that Abu Dhabi has a Ferrari themed amusement park, Ferrari World, the largest indoor amusement park in the world. It also contains the fastest roller coaster in the world, the Formula Rossa, for those wanting a taste of the Formula One fast lane.

Shopping            

Shopping is a big part of the Abu Dhabi experience with everywhere from shopping malls to small stalls, selling souvenirs and luxury items. Air conditioning makes indoor centres such as the Abu Dhabi Mall an attractive option in this climate and you could spend the day here, with over two hundred shops to choose from, including big names such as Zara, H&M, and Paris Gallery.

For more traditional items, such as perfumes, carpets and handicrafts, the open air markets or ‘souqs' offer an opportunity to try out your bargaining skills. The Souk at Central Market is a great place to start, with everything from antiques to handmade jewelry on offer.

Beaches and Culture

Just off the coast lies Saadiyat Island, both a holiday retreat and cultural hub. If you book a hotel in Abu Dhabi here, you can expect to enjoy stunning beaches and coastlines, as well as a range of art attractions. The island hosts the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the Zayed National Museum,where you can learn more about the region's fascinating history.
