Luxury Family Holidays in Abu Dhabi

Yes, Abu Dhabi is similar to its big sister Dubai: it has the skyscrapers, the large stretches of sandy beaches, the luxury hotels, the theme parks, but Abu Dhabi, which is in fact the capital of the UAE, is also very different with its culture and different natural habitats. 

Why is Abu Dhabi amazing for a family holiday? 

There is a range of areas you can choose from when selecting a family friendly resort in Abu Dhabi. You can stay around the Marina, with its wide range of international restaurants and shopping.  Yas Island is a great choice for families too with its top rate entertainment and its theme parks: Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and Warner Bros. World. Saadiyat island is perfect for a more laid-back relaxing family holiday with fine white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Why not split your stay with a fabulous desert resort in the heart of the Liwa desert.
