Explore Some Renowned Places with Abu Dhabi Holidays
by Daisy Wilkinson Travel GuidesThe glamorous capital of the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), Abu Dhabi is located on a T-shaped island and is a major cultural and commercial
centre of the country. It gives you the opportunity to know more about the
nation’s history and culture through its elegant museums, exhibitions, and
mouth-watering traditional dishes. You’ll find plenty of offerings worth
exploring in the Emirati capital during your holidays. You can also indulge in
some exciting outdoor activities during your time spent in this part of the
world.
Winter from November to March is the best time to be
in this city. However, there is a heavy rush of tourists in this season and
you’ll have to pay a hefty sum for hotel stays. Spring months of April and May
would be the best times to enjoy cheap holidays to Abu Dhabi, as you’ll be able
to secure some attractive deals on hotel accommodations. The reason for this significant
reduction in room rates is a decrease in the number of tourists in the spring
season. You can get accommodations at the lowest rates in the summer season
from June to August, but you’ll have to be ready to endure the unbearable
summer heat of the city. Autumn months of September and October are also ideal
for visiting Abu Dhabi.
One particular attraction you’ll not like to miss
during your Abu Dhabi holidays is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Opened in the
year 2007, it is the most popular among all the attractions of the city. The
mosque has been constructed by fusing the Mameluke, Fatimid, and Ottoman styles
of architecture and contains some intricate carvings on its interiors and
exteriors. With a capacity to hold about 40,000 individuals, it is the biggest
mosque in the UAE. It took about 20 years to complete and is dedicated to the
late president of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan.
If you wish to have an unforgettable cultural
experience, visit the Heritage Village. It is located in a charming beach area
of the city and offers a glimpse into the life of the Emiratis before the oil
boom by replicating a typical Bedouin settlement. While exploring this
attraction during your Abu
Dhabi holidays, you’ll come across many interesting exhibits of traditional
daily objects. You can also watch the demonstration of local metalwork and
weaving skills given by the skilled craftsmen. The village also has displays
that introduce its visitors to the pearl diving trade and agriculture, which
were the main economic activities in this region before the discovery of oil.
A unique attraction in the city is the Abu Dhabi
Falcon Hospital, which is the first-of-its-kind welfare institution for falcons
in the world and offers annual check-ups for falcons. It operates under the
patronage of the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Since its opening in the year 1999, the hospital has become one of the major
tourist attractions of the city and was also visited by the United States
Ambassador to the UAE, Richard Olson, in 2010.
