Description
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and home to some amazing thrills such as the world’s fastest rollercoaster at Ferrari World on Yas Island. With a high speed of almost 150 mph it’s not a ride for the faint-hearted. Also on the island, you’ll find Yas Waterworld which makes for another action-packed experience.
Abu Dhabi also has many renowned shopping malls on a massive scale. Step out of the warm sunshine and browse designer labels and more till your heart’s content in the World Trade Centre or Khalidiyah Mall with its 160 stores.
There are lots of great outdoor experiences too with a number of beaches including Corniche and Saadiyat, Mangrove National Park and Emirates Park Zoo. Abu Dhabi is a versatile city with lots to do for families and couples. The city also has one of the largest mosques in the world which can hold up to 41,000 people. The Sheikh Zayed Mosque has 82 domes and a minaret which is over 100 metres tall.
There are many amazing examples of modern architecture such as the Landmark skyscraper which stretches up for 324 metres. The Aldar Headquarters building is a striking circular construction that’s over 100 metres high. Capital Gate is an office building which has been given the nickname of the ‘Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi’. It may not have the same history as Pisa’s iconic tower, but it’s an architectural masterpiece in its own right.
We have a number of multi-centre holidays to the UAE, including this seven-night break to Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Dubai
If you have a head for heights, then a trip to the observation deck of Dubai’s 828 metre skyscraper, Burj Khalifa, is an absolute must. There is also a sail-shaped hotel, incredible man-made palm islands, shopping galore and even an indoor skiing and snowboarding facility. Other sports are well catered for too with immaculate golf courses, jet skiing and kitesurfing.
Indoor attractions include Dubai Aquarium and the IMG Worlds of Adventure amusement park which make for a great day out for kids and adults alike. Dubai also has its own Legoland and ice rink so you’ll never be short of places to go and have some fun.
And Jumeirah Beach allows you to unwind on the Persian Gulf coast with an impressive array of skyscrapers as a backdrop. If Dubai’s sands put you in the mood for a longer dose of relaxation, one of our multi-centre honeymoon holidays will then jet you off for seven nights in the Maldives.
