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.
