Get to Charming Islands with Abu Dhabi Holiday Deals
by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel DealsAbu 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

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

Saadiyat Island is another fantastic island you can
