Flying from Istanbul to Abu Dhabi: FAQs
How long should I spend in Abu Dhabi?
Abu Dhabi is packed with things to see and do. Ideally, you’ll need at least three days in the capital to make the most of what the city has to offer. A longer stay gives you more opportunity to lounge at the beaches and try experiences outside the city limits, such as a desert safari.
How do I get from Abu Dhabi International Airport to the city centre?
Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) is situated around 16 miles east of the city centre. One of the easiest ways to make the journey is by Etihad airport transfer. Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the pick-up zone close to the arrivals hall. Air-conditioned bus services run every 40 minutes between the airport and the city centre and operate 24 hours a day.
Top tips for Istanbul to Abu Dhabi
Visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
Just as the Çamlica Mosque is at the centre of life in Istanbul, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque occupies a special place in the affections of all those who live in and visit Abu Dhabi. This magnificent building features 80 marble domes supported by 1,000 pillars and has enough space to accommodate 40,000 worshippers. Free guided tours are available.
Appreciate the art
If you’ve ever enjoyed a visit to the Pera Museum in Istanbul, then the Louvre Abu Dhabi is certain to be one of your favourite spots in the UAE capital. It’s home to 12 galleries, with work being grouped according to theme and period rather than geographical point of origin. The building itself is another eye-catching sight, appearing to float above a pool.
