Top tips for Sydney to Abu Dhabi
Life’s a beach
Swap the surfing of Bondi Beach for the warm sands and watersports of Yas Beach, or Saadiyat’s public beach.
These sunny hangouts are surrounded by impossibly blue waters, which are the perfect temperature to swim in at any time of the day. Other popular beaches include the Corniche, the family-friendly Hudayriat Island, or the luxurious Nurai Island.
Find a fossil
Much like the indigenous rock engravings of Sydney, the Fossil Dunes of Abu Dhabi are a source of fascination for people around the world.
Both haunting and romantic, the fossils capture the desert frozen in time during an Arabian sandstorm and have formed the backdrop for many Hollywood movies. An absolute must-see while you’re in the UAE capital.
