Top tips for Abu Dhabi to Colombo
Climb Sigiriya
There’s nothing quite like a spectacular vantage point. If you’ve tried Abu Dhabi’s ‘300’, consider heading out from Colombo to Sigiriya for a different type of jaw-dropping view.
Climb to the top of the rock for panoramic jungle views and explore ancient ruins. Catch a glimpse of the infamous Mirror Wall and watch the sky set alight with deep reds and vibrant oranges at sundown.
Visit a market
Colombo’s vibrant and eclectic Pettah Market is the largest of its kind in Sri Lanka and is reminiscent of Abu Dhabi’s Al Mina Fruit and Vegetable Souk.
Here, you’ll pick up fresh produce and aromatic spices, native to the island. Skilled salesmen offer all kinds of wares, tasty treats and more. Get lost among the crowds to experience the market in all its glory.
