What to do in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi, for most who are not aware, is the biggest emirate here in U.A.E. and there are a lot of things that you can do, discover and enjoy.

For those who are into the exotic and wants to experience something new you can do the following:

Desert Safari:

Bash into the endless stretch of sand inside a 4 wheel drive or an all-terrain vehicle on the desert area of the city.  Also, you can try skimboarding if you get tired of using fuel-driven machines. There are tour operators who conduct packages for desert safari rides.  The package includes, sand bashing, dinner under the stars while a belly dancer gyrate and have a henna tattoo.  You can even try riding the camel.  Warning: they stink!

Life's a Beach

The corniche is a long stretch of white sand beach where you can enjoy the sun the whole day and be proud to show off your tan.  Or enjoy the seaside breeze at night.

Sample the delicacies

Abu Dhabi is a multicultural city.  Every kind of middle eastern food can be bought from small restaurants around the city.  Don't forget their sweets.  They are pretty good.

Shop! Shop! Shop!

Need I say more?  All malls are well equipped with shops that could guarantee to seep out your fund in one day.

Adventure

If you are a fan of Fast and the Furious, you can always visit Yas Island where where the motor circuit and try out what it feels like to zoom along the road.  Or if you still don't have the license to drive, why not visit Ferrari World.
