✈️ Getting there

AUHAbu Dhabi International Airport
📍 30 km⏱ 35 min🚕 Taxi🚌 Ride-hail (Careem/Uber)🚌 Bus

Taxis from Abu Dhabi Airport are metered and reliable — expect AED 70–90 (€18–23) to the city centre or Corniche area; Careem and Uber are equally good and slightly cheaper if you book in advance via the app.

Abu Dhabi International is a large, modern hub that recently opened its landmark Terminal A — one of the biggest airport terminals in the world — and serves as the home base for Etihad Airways, alongside connections by British Airways, Lufthansa, and Air France.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Abu Dhabi — beyond the tourist trail.

🕌Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque at opening time (9am, or 10am Saturday) and on a weekday — it's one of the world's great religious buildings and gets genuinely crowded by 11am. The white marble courtyard in morning light is stunning. Dress modestly; robes are provided free at the entrance.
🎨Book Louvre Abu Dhabi tickets online for a weekday morning — the Jean Nouvel-designed 'rain of light' dome is worth the visit on its own, and the permanent collection is a genuinely radical experiment in universal art history. Allow three to four hours.
🏎️If you're there in November, Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets at Yas Marina Circuit sell out early — book a year ahead. Outside race season, the Yas Marina circuit does public track experiences and the surrounding Yas Island entertainment district is worth a half-day regardless.
🌊Take the ferry from Mina Zayed Port to the Breakwater (QR 1 AED) and walk out to the Heritage Village on the Abu Dhabi Breakwater peninsula — it's a small but genuine reconstruction of pre-oil Emirati village life, and the views of the skyline from the water's edge are the best in the city.
🦅Visit the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital (the world's largest) on a guided tour (book online, AED 170) — you'll see falcons in medical check-ups, watch a demonstration flight, and understand why falconry sits at the heart of Emirati identity. Unlike anything else in the Gulf.
