Lesser Known Places in Abu Dhabi - Activities and attractions you can’t overlook this vacation!

Abu Dhabi is known for its high rises and post-modern cityscape. But there's a lot more to the city than most people realise. Here's a rundown of some unusual sights to see in the area.

1

Drifting sands

Climb the Jebel Hafeet Mountain to see this incredible natural spectacle, which is very rare. It does not necessitate visitors to have prior physical training and is suitable for people at all fitness levels. Since the climb is very long, you will be exhausted by the time you reach the top. You will, however, be greeted with a stunning view of the sand dunes. This is among the locations in Abu Dhabi where you can take breathtaking photos directly from the peak of the mountain. Additionally, aim to find accommodation that is conveniently situated enough that you can quickly get around tourist attractions like these. For example, you can check out an Abu Dhabi spa resort the likes of Desert Islands Resort & Spa by Anantara.

To try your luck, you must take a huge breath of air to dive in to find pearls. And keep in mind that you only have one hour to finish this search. You must locate three oysters!
