Experience Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the largest of the seven emirates. Surrounded by beautiful mangroves, which play host to diverse bird life, turquoise oceans and an intricate collection of waterways, the nation's capital sits just off the mainland on an island in the Arabian Gulf. It can lay claim to some truly spectacular natural and man-made scenery. Beneath white-marble domes, the vast Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is breathtakingly beautiful, or you can wander along the city's corniche with its sandy white beaches and landscaped gardens and for some fast-paced action, the F1 Grand Prix circuit and Ferrari World are not to be missed. For those looking for cultural enrichment, a visit to the architectural masterpiece, The Louvre Abu Dhabi will not disappoint.

One of the world's largest mosques, and the largest in Abu Dhabi, uses Mughal, Persian, Indo-Islamic and Alexandrian influences to create an incredible and tranquil place of worship that's open for tours throughout the day. Distinctive white marble, gold, semi-precious stones, mother-of-pearl and crystals adorn this extraordinary symbol of cultural diversity, with distinctive calligraphy invoking traditional religious motifs. Witness the mosque's imposing beauty and amazing architecture whilst learning more about the UAE's cultural beliefs and traditions in a welcoming and open environment.
Feel inspired at the Louvre, Abu Dhabi

Incorporating a unique water feature inspired by ancient Arabian engineering, the Louvre museum is an immersive experience like no other in the region. Within this icon of historical, cultural and sociological knowledge, with displays from antiquity to the contemporary era, art-lovers are treated to awe-inspiring exhibitions with items from the Musée du Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and the Centre Pompidou. If art isn't your thing, then you can simply wander through this refreshing oasis, as if negotiating the narrow alleys of an Arabian medina, and marvel at the light as it dances across this fascinating ensemble of water and concrete.
Fuel the fun at Ferrari World, Abu Dhabi

For a fun-filled, family-friendly day full of world firsts and one-and-onlys, you won't want to miss a trip to Ferrari World on Yas Island.
