Luxury Holidays in Abu Dhabi

Arabian elegance and culture

The Emirates’ beguiling capital city was originally discovered by Bedouin hunters drawn to the area’s grazing gazelles. ‘Abu Dhabi’ means ‘Father of the Gazelle’ and the city still hugs an ancient landscape of green oases, rugged mountains and spectacular sand dunes.

From its ornate mosques and bustling souks to a glittering glass and steel skyline, the modern city is the serene and demure centre of Arabian culture. Abu Dhabi’s focal point is the Corniche, a verdant network of beachfront walkways, while its oldest building is the legendary White Fort.

Enjoy white beaches and the inviting ocean, or adventure out into the vast desert for sand skiing and off-road safari. Then return to the world-class luxury of this elegant holiday destination.
