Nader El Kari
Welcome To Abu Dhabi
Ahlan WaSahlan, very warm welcome to Abu Dhabi where luxury & style are infused with traditional values and hospitality. Sunny weather, relaxing beaches, vibrant city life & mixture of culture and tradition come together to create a holiday experience like no other.
Our hotel has a perfect location surrounded by water, beaches and a slice of traditional life. It sits on the only hill in Abu Dhabi overlooking the crystal clear water of the gulf. Conveniently located close to shopping malls, business districts and the famous Abu Dhabi Corniche.
LOCAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
MORNINGThere is no better way to start your day than with breakfast overlooking the placid jade-coloured waters of the Arabian Gulf. I suggest the nearby Havana Cafe.There you can choose from a variety of oriental or international breakfast dishes while taking in the magnificent view of the Corniche (Abu Dhabi's waterfront promenade). After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely walk along the Breakwater. If it's too hot to explore outdoors, head instead to the cool comfort of Marina Mall, located opposite the Corniche, for some light shopping. |
AFTERNOONA short walk or taxi ride from the Marina Mall on the Breakwater is the Heritage Village. Here you can see how life was in Abu Dhabi before oil was discovered and transformed the region. It offers a fascinating insight into early Bedouin life and sells handmade souvenirs that make ideal gifts. For a quick lunch, try popping into Lebanese Flowers and enjoy delicious Arabic Mezza, Shish Tawook and Mixed Grills. |
EVENINGYour perfect evening will start with a splendid dinner cruise aboard a traditional Arab sailing vessel from the Al Dhafra Dhow restaurant. A trip across the Arabian Gulf while dining on local and international cuisine is a real treat. On your return, round off the evening with a shisha (water pipe) and fresh tropical juices or Arabic coffee at any of the cafes dotted along the waterfront. |
LOCAL CULTUREALCOHOLAlcohol is allowed in certain licensed outlets but drinking in public areas is prohibited. CULTUREThe United Arab Emirates is more conservative than Western countries. Public displays of affection, for example, are frowned upon. CLOTHINGWomen should avoid wearing shorts or a sleeveless blouse when walking through areas popular with locals. LOCAL PEOPLENo matter how beguiling or unusually attired, try to avoid staring at or making eye contact with local women. It is considered very disrespectful. |

WHAT TO PACKLight clothingThe weather in Abu Dhabi is at its coolest between November and April but can reach over 40C in the summer. Light clothing is advised, but do bring at least one heavier garment for the cooler months and air-conditioned interiors. Local currencyIt is recommended to exchange some money - just enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel - before you leave home, so you can avoid unpleasant queues at the airport ATMs. Sun protectionIt is nearly always sunny in Abu Dhabi, so sun protection is advised whatever time of year you visit. Pack a hat, sunglasses and some sun cream. |
