Dubai's Excursions
Abu Dhabi
This largely under promoted capital of UAE, deserves fair exploration. A breathtaking landscape of lush greenery, where a vibrant city finds its home within the splendors of this island Emirate, Abu Dhabi is an authentic alternative to the glamour of Dubai. It is a laid back center of culture, possessing a unique modesty despite a multicultural zeal.
Visit the Abu Dhabi Cultural Foundation, where artistic performances and talents wait just off the main thoroughfare. Time your ventures to arrive at the Corniche for a captivating Bedouin sunset, then stroll through the wonders that thrive at the lively Iranian Souq located at Abu Dhabi’s colorful mina, or port. Just outside the capital, waits the delightful Al-Ain Oasis, well deserving of its local popularity. Discover the Al-Ain Palace Museum in the center of town, offering wonderful cultural insight into the country, before heading off to the chaotic livestock souq.
Finally, take full advantage of the signs designating the entrance of “Tourists and Date Farmers Only,” and explore the beautiful date palm plantations that spot the area.
