Taking up over 80% of the land mass of the UAE, Abu Dhabi stands tall as the capital of the United Arab Emirates. While the city is lined with modern skyscrapers that have caught global attention, Abu Dhabi is also a prime tourist hotspot for travellers of the UAE. Guaranteeing the utmost level of safety to its visitors, solo travellers can fearlessly explore every inch of the city with no guide or companion.
Getting Around the City
Reaching your checklist destination from 5-star hotels in Abu Dhabi is as simple as travelling in one’s home country. A ten-minute ride is all it takes from Anantara Eastern Mangroves Abu Dhabi Hotel to reach the city centre of Abu Dhabi in your preferred mode of transportation. The most commonly used method to travel around the city is the bus, which operates along over 95 routes. Other options for transportation are car rentals, taxis or ferries.
Where to Visit
Offering authentic Emirati experiences, Abu Dhabi is the heart and soul of the UAE. The city is home to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, adorned in Ottoman, Mameluke, and Fatimid design elements; Louvre Abu Dhabi, an exploration of humanity’s artistic achievements; and Al-Hosn Fort, originally built in 1793 and restored in recent years for crowd attraction.
What to Do
Abu Dhabi’s lineup of spine-tingling activities for lone rangers is many. Among these are the most extraordinary experience at the Ferrari World, your gateway to Formula One racing for children and adults alike. Other fun-filled solo activities are sailing across the Eastern Mangroves, appreciating city views on a cruise and most importantly, dune bashing in the desert.
The Ideal Time for a Visit
Abu Dhabi’s friendliest weather is often within the months of November and April and is ideal for outdoor and seasonal events. However, this season is also the peak season at which many tourists travel to Abu Dhabi in search of their Arabian oasis. Travelling to the city in warmer months will save money yet would be rather unpleasant for outdoor activities.
