Abu Dhabi's sandy shores & dusty dunes
Abu Dhabi
From shore to sand dunes, Abu Dhabi’s highlights combine on this Arabian adventure.
Behind the contemporary vibrancy of this cosmopolitan Emirate lies a rich and colourful heritage set in endless desert terrain. Life here is taken a little easier than its glitzy neighbour, Dubai, with the celebration and education of the country’s culture high on the agenda.
The cultural hub of Saadiyat Island is where it’s at for us, balancing mangroves and a beach with a separate Hawksbill turtle hatching site, the region’s first ocean golf course and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Also worth a visit is the thrill-a-minute Yas Island, home to the Grand Prix, Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World.
Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental
Majestic and magnificent, the Mandarin Oriental managed Emirates Palace stands on a 1.3 kilometre private beach in impressive landscaped gardens.
Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara
This impressive resort lies in the Liwa Desert of the Empty Quarter, one of the world’s largest unbroken expanses of desert measuring over 1,000 kilometres long and 500 kilometres wide.
Jumeriah Saadiyat Island
Lounge luxuriously on a sweeping stretch of white sands rolling into the azure waters of the Persian Gulf, keeping watch for the wandering wildlife that share this Saadiyat Island enclave.
