IT’S HARD TO deny that Abu Dhabi has a whole

load going in its favour. And before you accuse

of blind bias, let’s ask a quick question:

where else can you ride the world’s fastest

rollercoaster, go on an African-style safari, and

escape to a luxury island resort all without

leaving the emirate?

There’s so many brilliant things to do here,

and there’s never an excuse to complain

about being bored.

In fact the only tricky bit is Àtting in all

the amazing things to do. After all, everyone

knows weekends Àll up quickly, and

unfortunately we’re yet to convince our bosses

that having an extra day off every week is the

way to go.

So to help you make the most of living in (or

visiting) the capital of the UAE, here are the

best 50 things to do in Abu Dhabi right now.
