What to do and see in Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon
Atmospheric backstreets paint a very different picture to first impressions of Abu Dhabi. The often slick and modern capital of the U.A.E. presents a fascinating mixture of tradition and progression. Tracing its rich history back to around 3000 B.C., Abu Dhabi maintains a more distinctly Arabian ambiance than glitzy Dubai. Taxis are a safe, reliable way to get around sites such as The Corniche Park, the White Fort, the Heritage Village, which offers glimpses into Bedouin life, and the Women's Craft Centre.

DO NOT MISS THIS. we have been three times now ands still staggering to see. We did a day trip from Dubai especially to see this mosque, and we were not disappointed. It is stunning. Beautiful white marble (with inlaid floral design), the largest carpet in the world, stunning chandeliers, beautiful water pools, 82 domes, exquisite design and yet peaceful & worthy of prayer. It is definitely the highlight of my trip to the UAE.

we visited abu dhabi at the beginning of February. we werde so lucky to take our holiday before the shutdown. back to the qasr al sarab :-) our journey startet at the atlantis in dubai where we got our shuttle to the desert. already that was a 5* trip with a very friendly driver. Ariving at the resort we got a warm welcome and were shuttled to our pool villa with a fantastic view into the empty corner. in the evening we went to the bar at the top with a beautiful view to the sunset. we went sandbording, camelriding, had a saluki and a falcon show, walked the dunes, lay in the sun, drank wine, were lazy at the pool, had cool and tasty drinks (at the pool and the bar), awesome food in different restaurants, sunsets (too lazy to be up at dawn, sorry), met nice people, had a false fire alarm and got an excuse wine, always friendly staff take a pool villa it's really worth it. now the one negative point. we took the transportation of the resort which isn't cheap. when we left the resort we asked if the driver could bring us to the great mosque and wait for half an hour to have a short visit. They told us that it costs extra which is a bit stingy as we spent quite a bit there. none the less we will be back and will enjoy the magic place stay safe

The experience was sensational. From the moment that I walked in the door to the moment that I got into the taxi to leave I felt cared for. Attention to detail is perfect. Fresh watermelon juice, nibbles and a refreshing towel on arrival. A wonderful massage experience where careful attention was paid to my needs followed by a session in the Relaxation Room drinking peppermint tea and eating fresh dates and apricots looking out to the Corniche. The best massage that I have ever had. Would definitely book another session when I return to Abu Dhabi.

Nation Riviera is by far the best poll facility in Abu Dhabi! the staff are very polite and extremely professional! They always greet you with a smile and they go above and beyond for all guests to have an amazing experience. The pool is ideal for familes and couples and big enough that you never feel it is crowded. I would definitely recommend the facilities to anyone looking for a relaxing pool time in the city.

While we stayed at the St Regis on the Corniche we decided to go for a walk as the weather is beautiful this time of the year. The Corniche is basically the waterfront of Abu Dhabi, it has a long stretch on the waterfront, beautifully landscaped with walk ways and bicycle lanes. A few cafes as on the walk which is so beautiful and relaxing. You can even rent scooters and return them to various pick up locations. Definitely try it out.
