Hotels in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, sits on a desert island in the Persian Gulf, with scorching summers (up to 115°F/46°C) and mild winters (around 75°F/24°C). It's famous for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque's white marble and 82 domes, plus the Ferrari World roller coaster. In winter, you can kayak through the Eastern Mangroves or sandboard in the Liwa Desert, while summer's heat makes indoor spots like the Louvre Abu Dhabi perfect for escaping the sun. The city splits into distinct zones: the cultural Saadiyat Island, the party scene on Yas Island, and the traditional souks in the city center.
