HALA ABU DHABI
WHY ABU DHABI?
A thriving destination – be here from the start, with us.
Strategically positioned at the heart of one of the world’s fastest
developing regions.
Abu Dhabi is easily accessible on Etihad Airways from all major
international destinations. More carriers than ever are now flying to
our award-winning Abu Dhabi International Airport. Geographically
positioned in an ideal location to break long-haul and mid-haul travel,
Abu Dhabi presents the best opportunity to international travelers
to sample Arabian culture and leisure activities all year round, while
enjoying the comfort of high standard international accommodation.
A world of fun activities.
With such variety of nature and attractions, Abu Dhabi has so much to
offer to visitors. For a short stay, your customers try a desert safari, a city
tour, a visit to the mosque and the heritage sites, or discover the future
of Saadiyat Island with a visit to the cultural centre Manarat Al Saadiyat,
showcasing the birth of Le Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Guggenheim
Museum. Affordable public transportation, a well-planned road system,
and plenty of sidewalks make Abu Dhabi easy to navigate.
Fantastic variety of high standard accommodation, at affordable
rates.
Abu Dhabi continues to surprise visitors with its large variety of worldclass 3, 4 and 5-star accommodation options at affordable rates. Visitors
can enjoy the tranquility of the Emirate in full luxury with a wide choice of
competitively priced activities.
Sustainable tourism development.
In Abu Dhabi, sustainability is reflected by diverse projects, such as
wildlife nature reserves, millions of plants and trees, a protected
mangrove forest close to the city, turtles nesting at Saadiyat Island, and
the Arabian Oryxes preservation scheme. Visitors can spot dolphins in
their natural environment, watch wildlife on Sir Baniyas Island, explore
the untouched desert, and discover the Oasis City of Al Ain.
Climate and Weather.
Year-round sunshine, blue skies, and warm conditions make every visit to
Abu Dhabi a real pleasure. Rainfall is rare, and temperatures range from
around 25C on a winter day, to highs of approximately 42C during the
summer. Since all public and private establishments are equipped with
air-conditioning, even the warmest months are pleasurable.
Where lifestyle meets hospitality.
Arabian hospitality is renowned worldwide, and in Abu Dhabi, it’s a
lifestyle. Here, the warmth of welcome and generosity that emerged from
encountering travellers in the desert generations ago is very much a
part of life today – from serving traditional Arabic coffee to an absolute
dedication to the highest standards of modern service.
Stunning nature.
A plethora of islands sit within Abu Dhabi’s warm turquoise waters. Some
are destinations in their own right and offer variety from entertainment
to culture and luxury, from untouched beaches and wildlife sanctuaries
to championship-standard golf facilities.
Unique blend of cultures.
Abu Dhabi’s culture is firmly rooted in its strong local heritage, and the
combination of international influences has created a shining example
of the region’s true commitment to tolerance and hospitality.
Cultural treasures.
With over 200 natural islands, more than 400 kilometers of pristine
coastline, tranquil oases, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, modern
cityscapes, rocky, mountain-like heights, and awe-inspiring deserts, Abu
Dhabi offers a diversity of visitor experiences. Your customers can tour
former palaces, forts, one of the world’s largest mosques, renovated
oases, desert camps, and indulge in experiences such as falconry, camel
trekking and Arabia’s famed hospitality.
Safety and Security.
Abu Dhabi is one of the world’s safest destinations, and has been named
by Mercer Consultants as the ‘Safest City in the Middle East’. Abu Dhabi
Police has a set up a division to specifically assist all visitors, as the
Emirate takes the responsibility of delivering a secure environment for
residents and visitors very seriously. Your customers will find the local
population – both national and expatriate – friendly and more than
happy to help out with any enquiries.
