Whygo2 Abu Dhabi
Letsgo2 employees have travelled extensively to the destinations we feature. Here are the five main reasons they would consider a visit to Abu Dhabi.
Fabulous Shopping
In todays world, the word shopping is synonymous to Abu Dhabi. The city presents a variety of shopping plazas in and around the city that display some of the most modern and exclusive goods in the world. People from all over the world flock to Abu Dhabi to lighten their pockets of some valuable moolas during the Abu Dhabi Shopping Festival held every year in the month of March. During other times, one can visit the famous Old Souk, apparently an ideal place when it comes to buying precious metals such as gold, electronics goods, clothes and virtually everything. The shopping here is of the same standard as their neighbour Dubai, but you would probably get better value for you money.
Great Bars, Restaurants and Nightlife
Corniche has some good places to have local food. Marine dishes form an important part of any menu in this region. Besides, there are a large number of restaurants, which offer cuisines of various nationalities, worth a try. Hojreh Jazz Bar and Dining, Trattoria/Pizzeria Del Centro, Hojreh, Petrov, Chez Jacques, Western Steak House, Le Rabelais French Gastronomique Restaurant, Grill Room, Al Sayyad, and Chez Jacques are some of the most famous eating joints in Abu Dhabi. A lot of the bars have live music and there are some discos in the town.
Places to see in the region
Abu Dhabi Administrative zone also include cities of Al Ain and Zayed. Beside the entire region abounds with tourist attractions. These are: Liwa Oasis, Rub Al Khali, Jebel Hafit Mountains, Ain AL Fayda Resort, Hili Gardens, Al Ain Museum, and Qattarah Oasis.
Museums and Galleries
White Fort is the home of the former ruling family and it is the oldest building in Abu Dhabi. A Centre of Documentation and Research is now being run from this building and displays many interesting exhibits of traditional artefacts and photographs. The Heritage Village is a must see as the village is situated in the middle of Abu Dhabi and is a living exhibition of the lifestyle and traditions of Bedouin and other cultures. The Corniche is a park-lined coastal boulevard that skirts the city, with a backdrop of modern buildings facing the sea, it is one of the most picturesque sites in Abu Dhabi.
Climate
Summer (May to September) is quite hot with high humidity levels reaching 90 percent. And with rainy season being totally negligible, this time is the best value for money period for this region. Although the temperature is high, all the buildings are air conditioned and outside can be quiet comfortable outside the middle of the day - October to April, during which the temperature hovers around the comfortable 25C mark, seems to be the ideal time to visit this fascinating place.
