Abu Dhabi

Be Romanced by Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and is located on an island in the Persian Gulf. The city is a major hub for oil exports, luxury shopping and goods, as well as watersports. This desert oasis is an eclectic blend of modern skyscrapers, shopping malls, and beach clubs.

White sand beaches and turquoise waters offer a seemingly unending amount of sunbathing and water fun opportunities. You can sail, kite surf, wake board, kayak through mangroves, or do nothing at all under the canopy of a sha ded cabana while reading or just watching the sparkling waves.

Abu Dhabi is filled with endless amounts of retail therapy. For instance, the Abu Dhabi Mall offers over 200 shops and averages over 40,000 visitors per day. The Marina Mall has a bowling alley, ice skating rink, cinema, and musical fountains. And of course, there are traditional outdoor markets, such as Souk Al Bawadi, Souk Al Qaw, and Souk Al Zafarana.
