Why Book a Cheap Holiday to Abu Dhabi

As a cultural center of the UAE, Abu Dhabi contrasts with Dubai's reputation for shopping and cityscapes. Think of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the Presidential Palace, Qasr Al Watan, rather than record-breaking towers. It is also calmer and less built-up than Dubai. So for travellers who want a city break with a cultural focus and desert safaris and waterfront resorts, Abu Dhabi is the perfect getaway.
