Yas Waterworld


Cool off from the desert heat at Yas Waterworld, a mega waterpark offering over 40 rides, slides, and attractions. It's themed around a unique Emirati story and features adrenaline-pumping rides like Dawwama and Bubble’s Barrel, along with more relaxed attractions like the lazy river. Yas Waterworld is an ideal family destination, providing fun for all ages and a refreshing escape from the city's hustle.

Desert Safari


Experience the essence of Abu Dhabi with a desert safari. Venture into the vast Arabian Desert in a 4x4, enjoy dune bashing, camel rides, and sandboarding. As the sun sets, relax in a Bedouin camp, savoring traditional Emirati cuisine and watching belly dancing. The star-studded sky offers a tranquil end to an exhilarating day, giving you a glimpse of the desert's timeless beauty.

Corniche Beach


Stretching along the northwestern shore of Abu Dhabi, Corniche Beach offers a serene escape.

Qasr Al Hosn


As the oldest stone building in Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Hosn is a portal to the city's past. Originally a watchtower, it evolved into a fort and royal residence. Today, it's a museum showcasing the history and culture of Abu Dhabi. Explore the exhibitions, watch traditional craft demonstrations, and walk through the historical rooms to understand the city's transformation from a fishing village to a modern metropolis.

Mangrove National Park


A unique ecological haven, showcasing the vital role of mangroves in the coastal ecosystem. This serene park is a stark contrast to the city’s urban sprawl, offering a peaceful retreat amidst nature. It's home to a rich biodiversity, including a variety of bird species, marine life, and the dense mangrove forests themselves, which act as crucial carbon sinks.
