Things To See & Do In Abu Dhabi

Al Ras Al Akhdar Peninsula

Connecting Breakwater to the main island is Al Ras Al Akhdar peninsula. This area of redevelopment is dominated by the beautiful, and massive, Emirates Palace. The hotel is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and should be at the top of every visitor’s list of ‘must sees’ in Abu Dhabi. It is a stunning property set in more than 85 hectares of landscaped gardens, surrounded by a pristine stretch of white-sand beach and a new yacht marina. Palatial in every sense, luxury and opulence oozes from every inch of the hotel, from the huge gold domed roof in the reception area to the massive hand-woven carpets displayed on the walls. The hotel is also home to some exceptional restaurants, a couple of excellent galleries and a 1,500 seat auditorium that hosts a variety of shows throughout the year, including films during the Abu Dhabi Film Festival and concerts during the Abu Dhabi Classics series.

Over the road, Jumeirah At Etihad Towers has views over Emirates Palace, and indeed the entire city. Head to the tallest of the five impressive towers and take a trip up to the Observation Deck at 300 on the 74th floor for afternoon tea.
