5 Reasons to Visit Abu Dhabi, Dubai
Dubai is a place that speaks of wealth and tradition, towering structures and great outdoor excitement.
The bustling people, the warm sun, and the never-ending sights make Abu Dhabi more than just a destination - it's your next destination.
Consider these five reasons to book your next trip to this spot in the United Arab Emirates.
1.
) Architecture, plain and simple.
Abu Dhabi is famous for its stunning and absolutely grand buildings.
And when one says grand, not just in design, but in overall scope.
Some of their buildings are huge! You'll find traditional structures as well as brand new and wholly modern designs.
Make sure to stop by the second most expensive building in the world - the Emirates Palace Hotel.
It actually includes 18k gold accents, and inside you'll find the world's largest carpet as well as the world's largest chandelier.
2.
) Rich culture and history.
For those interested in something other than buildings, you can find plenty of unique cultures and traditions that you won't find anywhere else in the world.
Visit the al-Hosn, a fort from the 18th Century, for a taste of the past, as well as the Al Bateen shipyard where you'll see wooden ships and the techniques to make them are still in use.
3.
) Experience the outdoors.
Abu Dhabi is an island city, which means plenty of water sports as well as parks to enjoy.
You can find any number of these parks just by strolling along the 6 kilometer pedestrian boulevard that is built along the coastline.
There are also desert island resorts where you can experience a more solitary vacation in the desert.
4.
) A motorsport fan haven.
It may sound strange, but Abu Dhabi has exploded in popularity when it comes to motorsports.
The first Grand Prix run in 2009 has since garnered it plenty of attention.
Likewise, the entire family can visit the world's largest indoor theme park - Ferrari World.
There are dozens of rides and all sorts of other activities that everyone can enjoy.
5.
) Wildlife viewing.
Escape the city and travel to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.
It is here that you can travel through the wilderness to catch glimpses of gazelle, sand cats, red foxes, hedgehogs, and many more animal species, as well as a number of birds, including a great variety of raptors.
Visit the Emirates Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa and sign up to go on a wildlife safari, camel trekking, or even falconry!
