Fortunate with year-round sunshine, pristine beaches
and spectacular sand dunes, this rapidly developing
metropolis and archipelagic Emirate, is well worth a
visit. Dotted with nearly 200 islands along its coast and
characterized by its signature Corniche, with its views of
the gulf, it’s the place to be seen.
Iconic to this cultural capital is the picturesque Sheikh
Zayed Grand Mosque, dubbed the most expensive
mosque in the world with 24 carat gold glided
chandeliers. Next the Emirates Palace, stretching over
a kilometer from wing to wing, a hotel that showcases
extravagance to the extreme and is often mistaken as
the presidential palace.
Becoming the new playground for the Middle East,
there is plenty to keep you entertained. For car
enthusiasts head to the F1 track or Ferrari World and
families flock to water playgrounds Yas Water world and
Wadi Adventure.
Not to be outshone by its neighbor, Abu Dhabi is also
home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim
Abu Dhabi, both sitting on the once uninhabited
Saadiyat Island.

pool, or in the evenings retreat to C.mondo Bar, a great place to
unwind after a busy day. It offers sports fans a place to kick back and
watch their favourite teams in action on the bar’s TV screens.
Centro Yas Island

equal measures. A few minutes away from the Formula 1 racetrack,
Yas Links Golf Club, Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Yas Mall and Yas
Beach, and Abu Dhabi International Airport. Defined by a youthful
and fresh vibe, this contemporary hotel offers an exceptional range
of services including access to Yas Beach and a shuttle bus to all
