Frequently Asked Questions
Abu Dhabi is one of the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf. It’s around 140 km from Dubai, right on the northern coast
You’ll need to use the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) to get your goods in Abu Dhabi. It's simple to change up before you go or grab your cash once you touch down, as the AED is a pretty popular currency in the UK.
The locals are welcoming and will always have a smile for international travellers, and the sunshine and sights are absolutely glorious. If you’re heading there with the tanning in mind though, remember: it’s fine to wear bikinis and other swimwear around the pool or at the beach, but it’s best not to walk around in public like this! We’d recommend packing tops that cover your shoulders, light shirts that cover your whole arms, and light linen trousers or shorts that are at least knee-length. If you’re a woman and you’re planning on visiting religious sites, it’s also sensible to bring a scarf to cover your hair.
Summer (June to August) is sizzling — up to 45C — so it’s best avoided unless you’re really used to the heat. Spring and autumn are pretty pleasant, but still pretty warm. Winter is the most popular time to visit, as temperatures rarely dip below the low 20s and there’s little rain.
The exact date of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix changes every year, but it is normally around the end of November or early December.
There’s tonnes of fun to be had in Abu Dhabi, whether you like whizzing your way around the Formula One racetracks and bashing through the dunes or relaxing on the beach and splashing the cash in the shopping malls. Families love Yas Island, where you’ll find four different theme parks: Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, and SeaWorld. If you’re more into relaxation, there are plenty of sandy stretches to top up your tan, or you can soak up the history and culture at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Watan, and Emirates Heritage Village.
Abu Dhabi is around 140 km from Dubai, and you can travel between the two in about an hour and a half.
