If you have heard that Abu Dhabi is a wonderful travel destination, then here are further reasons as to why you should make Abu Dhabi your next travel destination.
The Skeikh Grand Mosque which was built in memory of UAE's founder Sheik Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan is a true reflection of the grandeur in the architecture of UAE. The mosque is large enough to accommodate 40,000 worshippers making it the largest mosque in the UAE and one of the largest mosques in the world. The reflecting pools located outside the mosque enhances the beauty of the mosque. Most of the activities in Abu Dhabi include a tour of this grand mosque in UAE.
The Brand new Louvre is another amazing creation that was unveiled in the recent past. Designed and visualised by the French designer and architect Jean Nouvel, the Louvre is a one of a kind universal museum which is the first in the Arab world. The inside of the structure resembles the Arab medina and the dome displays the stunning 'rain of light; that is inspired by the shadows that are cast by the overlapping palm trees.
Having originated from the Bedouin Tribes the falconry is the national bird of the UAE. This bird is considered good luck and represents the strength and grandeur of the people of the UAE. Due to the love and respect for this bird, the admiration for the falconry has grown and the UAE is now home to the world's largest and most developed falconry hospital in the world. Most locations such as the Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villas are able to arrange guided tours to the location where the birds are kept where you can also learn about the birds, their species and the growth.
Treat the adrenaline junkie in you by trying out to be a race car driver for a day. With the state of the art technology and the most advanced formula 1 circuits, you are able to test your limits or the limits of your car when you are at the Yas Marina Circuit. If you are unsure of whether you would like to be behind the wheel, take a ride on the passenger seat with experienced speed car drivers that will make you feel the adrenaline rush of a race car driver on the tracks. If you end up loving the experience you can apply for a racing licence course and find the location closest to you.
If you are interested in experiencing the desert dunes, the animals and the country all in one excursion then the wildlife safari is the way to go. The Arabian Wildlife Park is home to more than 10,000 free-ranging animals and you are able to see them in their natural habitat when you go on a Safari. You can either opt to take a safari jeep for your group even if it includes only 3 or 4 people.
