Get to Charming Islands with Abu Dhabi Holiday Deals

by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel Deals

Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, is a modern and cosmopolitan metropolis with many fascinating attractions worth visiting. Before the 19th century, the region was famous for its pearl business and entered into treaties with Great Britain to suppress the pirates. In the early part of the 20th century, the pearl trade declined and the rulers began exploring the possibilities of oil in the region. The first discovery was made in the Umm Shaif oil field and then in several other oil fields in the years that followed. The oil fields contributed immensely to the growth and development of Abu Dhabi.

Your cheap Abu Dhabi holidays would give you a considerable amount of savings, which can be utilised to explore the city's popular attractions. Among them are the majestic islands that have several offerings in store for their visitors. The Yas Island is located at a short distance from the Emirati capital and is an emerging destination for entertainment. It houses the Yas Marina Circuit, which is a state-of-the-art facility for F1 Grand Prix events. Another popular attraction on this island is the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. It is the first Ferrari-branded theme park in the world and offers fun and adventure for all ages.

Saadiyat Island is another fantastic island you can explore with Abu Dhabi holiday deals offered by your tour operator. This island is spread across a vast area of 27 square kilometres and has the single largest concentration of cultural assets in the world. They include the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the Zayed National Museum. You can visit the Manarat Al Saadiyat, which literally translates as 'A Place of Enlightenment'. Visitors to the island can get an interactive narrative on the vision behind the island with 'The Saadiyat Story'.

While enjoying your Abu Dhabi holidays, you can get to Sir Bani Yas Island if you wish to experience wildlife and some adventurous activities. The island has luxury villas, historical sites, and a 5-star boutique hotel. The World Travel Awards held in Anguilla in the year 2014 had honoured the island with the award of the 'World's Leading Sustainable Tourism Destination'. One of the region's largest wildlife reserves, the Arabian Wildlife Park occupies more than half of this island. While exploring this wildlife park, you can witness the Arabian Oryx, gazelles, hyenas, and many other wild animals in action.

Nurai Island is also an excellent place to visit during your time spent in Abu Dhabi. You can take a 10-minute boat ride from the Saadiyat Island in order to reach this relatively secluded island. It is also accessible from UAE's major ports. The name of this island is derived from the Arabic word 'nur', which means 'light'. If you're looking forward to having some peace and tranquillity, this is the best place to be in. The Nurai Island also houses the Zaya Nurai Island, which is a unique private island with an all-villa hotel. It offers some excellent dining options and its food and beverage outlets are open to residents as well as non-residents.
