Hotels in Abu Dhabi

Same as Dubai — many nationalities get visa on arrival for 30–90 days. The UAE has a very open visa policy for most Western passport holders.

Absolutely — Abu Dhabi has a calmer, more cultured atmosphere. The Grand Mosque alone justifies the day trip from Dubai (90 mins by bus).

Full modest dress required — shoulders, arms, and legs fully covered. Abayas are provided free for women at the entrance.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit takes place in late November/early December. One of the most glamorous race weekends on the F1 calendar.
