With year-round sunshine and dazzling skyscrapers, holidays to Abu Dhabi combine international glamour with the romance of the desert.
Sun, speed and skyscrapers
Modern towers jostle for attention with ornamental mosques in the United Arab Emirates' Abu Dhabi, a city that combines the cutting edge with the intensely traditional. Home to a Formula One Grand Prix as well as the world's fastest rollercoaster, it's one of the Middle East's most thrilling cities.
Mosques and fortresses
Abu Dhabi's greener than its flashy cousin in Dubai, and its oldest building, the Qasr al-Hosn Fortress, was built from coral and sea stone way back in the 1700s. The all-white Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque's polished marble corridors attract more than five million visitors – and Instagrammers – every year.
Shopper's delight
From bright gold jewellery and Arabic coffee pots to rugs and Eastern spices, Abu Dhabi's a shopper's paradise. The traditional markets offer affordable treasures for bargain hunters, while its world-class malls are filled with bright lights and luxury goods for big spenders.
