Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
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.

Who says you can’t have fun in Abu Dhabi? Many will say that Abu Dhabi is ‘conservative’ and quiet. Little do they know that the party spot is at Saadiyat Beach Club. Not to be mistaken as a hotel, it’s a place to unwind and dance the sunset away. Great tunes, massive pool with beautiful cabanas attached, food is excellent and cocktails to keep you going. The endless whitesand beach is an option but I personally find the ocean in the UAE too salty. Sunset location to die for!
