Hey there, fellow wanderers! Ready to dive into the Middle Eastern mélange of tradition and modernity in Abu Dhabi? Here's my perfect weekend itinerary for you.
Kick off Friday evening with a sunset stroll at the Corniche. It’s an 8km waterfront with twinkling skylines and crashing waves. Then, head over to Li Beirut for a dreamy dinner. This place combines Lebanese delicacies with a twist of contemporary flair.
Saturday morning is for culture at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Its grandeur is breathtaking! Starving after the mosque visit? Al Dhafra serves the best 'mandi' in town. In the afternoon, get your adrenaline rush at the Ferrari World. Don't miss their world's fastest roller coaster!
Start your Sunday with the sunrise view from Yas Links Golf Course. Even if golf's not your thing, the view alone is worth the early rise. For brunch, Nolu’s Downtown is your spot. Their Californian-Afghani fusion is a must-try. Conclude your weekend at the Louvre Abu Dhabi for some art immersion.
