SPECIAL / January
• A trip into the desert,
including an overnight stay, is
practically a must for all who
visit Abu Dhabi. The Rub’ al
Khali desert, merely an hour and
a half’s drive from the city, is
considered to have some of the
most beautiful dunes. Nestled
among those stunning dunes is
Arabian Nights Village, where
you can ride a camel, dine under
a starry sky, and even give sand
surfing a try.
• If you’re looking for a genuine,
old market in Abu Dhabi...there
simply is none. That said, arm
yourself with an empty stomach
and head to the Fish Market.
Then choose whatever seafood
looks most appealing to you,
and have it prepared right there
at the simple-looking grill stand.
For a souvenir, pick up some
dates at the Fruit and Vegetable
Market – they’re so good that
they’ll melt in your mouth.
