Where to Stay Abu Dhabi

Situated right in the Abu Dhabi city center, this hotel is in the best location. We’re staying in a residence, aka an apartment-style hotel room. In our hotel room, we have a kitchen and a washing machine! Wow, we also had a huge fridge in our Abu Dhabi hotel room. I highly recommend the Bab Al Qasr Hotel!  

Places to Explore in Abu Dhabi

1. Wathba Fossil Dunes all in Abu Dhabi

The Wathba Fossil Dunes are a must-see when visiting Abu Dhabi from ubai. This popular tourist attraction is located on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. You don’t need a 4×4 vehicle to visit the fossil dunes. It’s absolutely beautiful to see the fossil dunes and free! I wouldn’t recommend touching them as they are incredibly fragile. I recommend just taking Instagram-worthy pictures and enjoying the desert life of Abu Dhabi. The best time to visit is the “golden hour” which is sunset. 

Are you driving from Dubai to Abu Dhabi? Good, because you’ll need a car to travel everywhere. For driving directions to Wathba Fossil Dunes, click here. 

2. Qasr Al Watan

Spend some time admiring the beautiful architecture of Qasr Al Watan. You’ll definitely fall in love with Arab culture’s rich history after visiting Qasr Al Watan. This presidential palace of Abu Dhabi is royalty at its finest! Construction began in 2010 and completed in 2017. It’s built with precious limestone and bright granite.  

Fall in love with Arab heritage and design when you visit the Qasr Al Watan. Located inside the Presidential Palace complex, the structure will amaze you with its dramatic architecture, lush gardens, and overall grandeur.

A ticket to visit Qasr Al Watan is affordable and grants your access to many exhibits within the palace. In the evening, there is a light show that I hear is with checking out!

Spend some time exploring the palace to marvel at the majestic hallways. Explore exhibitions and learn more about the rich Arabic history that shaped the great nation of the UAE. This Arabian cultural landmark is truly worth visiting. Be sure to dress moderately, and check out my blog, Visiting Abu Dhabi in 2021.

3. Yas Island 

Yas Island is massive! There is a lot to do here on what’s known as “water’s greatest playground”. It’s impossible to be bored while visiting Yas Island. It’s definitely worth spending some time exploring Yas Island during your Abu Dhabi travel itinerary. You won’t believe how crazy fun this place is. There’s an F1 race car track, the world’s fastest rollercoaster in Ferrari world, Yas Waterpark and so, so much more. There are some promotional offers at Yas Island, check them out here.

The Yas Island marina is full of restaurants, with beautiful yachts! It’s also recommended to walk around the area and enjoy the beautiful views.
