|
I have a 4 day stop over in Abu Dhabi and was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on where to stay and what to do. I want to stay in a very central area so that I can walk around places, and preferably not too expensive (under $50 would be perfect!).
I can't find a UAE Lonely Planet anywhere, so any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks!! |

If you're on a layover, your airline probably has free shuttles to Dubai. Unless you've already been there, I'd suggest going there instead of 4 days in Abu Dhabi. |

Thanks for the reply. Why would you go to Dubai instead? |

Dubai is really, really awesome. It was one of my favorite cities I've ever visited. Crazy cool architecture, amazing shopping, and just a really neat vibe. Granted, I haven't visited Abu Dhabi so it may be cool as well, but I think if you only have time for 1, definitely do Dubai. It's only an hour and a half bus ride from AD to Dubai, so in theory you could possibly do both. |

My friends from UAE and Saudi ubiquitously say that Dubai is the cooler place to visit. |
