Things I wish I knew before visiting Abu Dhabi, UAE: Cheaper Visa Hack: A UAE transit visa is much cheaper than a regular tourist visa. If you're visiting multiple countries, try planning your UAE stop as a transit destination to save on visa costs.� Luxury Park Package Deal: The UAE government offers special packages combining park entries (like Ferrari World or Yas Waterworld) with stays at 5 or 7-star hotels. These are often way cheaper than booking everything separately—perfect for a luxury trip on a budget.� Free City Tours for Layovers: If you have a long layover in Abu Dhabi (especially via Etihad), you may be eligible for a free city tour, including major attractions—just check with your airline in advance.� Dress Code Awareness: While it's modern, modest dressing is still expected in public areas, especially religious or local spaces. Carry a scarf or shawl just in case.� Affordable Luxury Transport: Download the Careem app (like Uber) for smooth rides. You can even book luxury cars at reasonable rates compared to Europe or the US.� No Tap Water: Tap water isn’t commonly consumed. Always carry bottled water, especially during sightseeing—hydration is key in the desert heat!� Free Entry for Kids at Parks: Many theme parks like Warner Bros. World or Ferrari World often have free or discounted entry for kids under a certain age or height—check in advance to save big if you’re travelling with family. Weekend is Friday–Saturday: The local weekend runs from Friday to Saturday, not Saturday–Sunday like in most countries. Government offices and some attractions may open late on Fridays, so plan accordingly Public Transport is Limited: Unlike Dubai, Abu Dhabi doesn't have a metro system. Buses are available but limited, so rental cars or ride-hailing apps (like Careem or Uber) are much more convenient and time-saving.
