Abu Dhabi- is it for me?
Having just returned from my second visit to Abu Dhabi, I’m more in love with this vibrant city than ever. Abu Dhabi brings together luxury, culture, adventure and now even more world‑class experiences.
1. New Airport Terminal: Seamless & Spectacular. In November 2023, Abu Dhabi opened its new international airport terminal, part of Zayed International Airport. This sprawling, architecturally award‑winning terminal (named the world’s most beautiful) offers ultra‑modern amenities and biometric touchpoints ideal for smooth, stylish travel experiences
2. Coming Soon: Harry Potter & Disney Magic Harry Potter land is in development at Warner Bros. World on Yas Island. Soon, visitors can step into iconic locations from the wizarding world in the Middle East’s first Potter-themed land.
Even bigger news: Disneyland Abu Dhabi is set to open on Yas Island! As the region’s very first Disney resort and the seventh worldwide, it‘s being designed by Disney Imagineers in partnership with Miral. With cutting‑edge tech, a crystal‑style castle, waterfront design, and Emirati flair, it‘s scheduled to open in the early 2030s.
3. Luxury Hotels & Cultural Highlights Abu Dhabi’s hotel scene continues to impress—think the grandeur of Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental, beachfront elegance at The St. Regis Saadiyat, or the serene luxury of Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort. Don’t miss cultural gems like the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Louvre Abu Dhabi—true highlights on my visits.
4. Entertainment & Events: More Than Theme Parks, Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, and soon Harry Potter—Yas Island is already a theme‑park oasis. Live entertainment thrives at Etihad Arena and Etihad Park, which recently hosted major concerts, UFC fights, NBA preseason games, Creamfields,
The annual Sheikh Zayed Festival (Nov–Feb) offers a rich cultural mix, heritage villages, fireworks, concerts, even drone shows, and is already setting world records.
5. Why Book with me? Having explored Abu Dhabi twice, I know how to blend luxury, culture, fun and future‑looking experiences—like being among the first to visit the Hogwarts‑style land or Disney’s magical arrival in the region!
