Abu Dhabi Holidays

Abu Dhabi holidays are gaining in popularity, and it's no surprise why. The capital of the United Arab Emirates has some of the best beaches in the world, but holidays here are about much more. Whether you're looking for a last minute getaway to the Middle East or are booking 2025 or 2026 Abu Dhabi holidays, our selection of resorts and hotels offers the perfect place to stay.

Wondering what to do in Abu Dhabi? You'll be spoilt for choice! Take a cruise of the islands that surround the city, do a spot of deep sea fishing in the Arabian Gulf, go scuba diving in ship wrecks, try your hand at water skiing at Beach Rotana or even travel out into the desert and go sandboarding.

And the fun need not stop there on Abu Dhabi luxury holidays; you can ride a quad bike across the desert, ride horses and camels through the sand dunes, drive a race car at the Yas Marina Circuit, where the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix takes place, and play golf at the world-class Yas Links course. If you would prefer something a little more urban, you will love the shimmering Abu Dhabi Mall, the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and of course the exquisite hotels and resorts you will find across the city.

Plus we are ATOL protected for your peace of mind.

You can get the best of everything on an Abu Dhabi holiday.

Whiten your knuckles at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, home of the world’s fastest roller coaster.

Abu Dhabi's sporting calendar is one of the world's richest, with plenty of events and festivals to choose from for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Abu Dhabi Food & Drinks

Abu Dhabi holidays are ideal for foodies, with eateries running the gamut from independent cafes serving traditional fare to world-class restaurants with menus created by celebrity chefs. The latter often serve Lebanese, north Indian and Persian cuisine, as well as Emirati, while contemporary local seafood dishes such as grilled scallops are popular at the latter.

Shisha cafes are the place to go to soak up the city’s atmosphere, as well as enjoy a flavoured water pipe and a refreshing cocktail. It's no wonder food in Abu Dhabi is considered some of the best in the world!
