Abu Dhabi offers a different flavour of the United Arab Emirates experience compared to its flashier neighbour Dubai — less frantic, more measured, yet still impressively ambitious in its attractions and architecture. Whether you’re planning a family trip in February (when the weather is ideal), seeking adrenaline at Ferrari World, or discovering the unexpected world of the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, these guides provide practical insights into navigating the UAE capital effectively.
The falcon hospital stands out as one of Abu Dhabi’s most unique attractions, offering visitors a glimpse into the Emirati cultural passion for these majestic birds of prey. Meanwhile, Ferrari World delivers high-octane thrills, though timing your visit correctly makes a significant difference to the experience. These articles help you understand not just what to see in Abu Dhabi, but when to visit and how to make the most of your time — particularly useful for families navigating the city’s attractions with children in tow during the cooler winter months.
