Winter from the month of November to March is the best time to be in this wonderful city, but if you’re looking out for cheap Abu Dhabi holidays during this time of the year, it is advisable to book months in advance. If you’re still not able to get some attractive deals on the holiday packages or hotel accommodations in the winter season despite booking earlier, you can consider the months of September and October.

The Macedonian marble was used in its construction and the mosque’s architecture is a brilliant mix of Fatimid, Mameluke, and Ottoman styles. Non-Muslims can also witness its great architecture as they’re allowed inside the complex of this mosque.

Ferrari World is another great place to be in while enjoying your Abu Dhabi holidays as it is the venue of Formula One races and has a Junior GT track for children, where they can test their skills in driving. If you’re travelling with kids, the Emirates Park Zoo can also be a worth exploring. Your children would be delighted to watch their favourite wild animals, such as elephants and tigers in action at the zoo. The boat tours offered for varying budgets can be ideal for savouring some charming views of the city’s skyscrapers.

Desert safaris are the best for spending some unforgettable moments on the enormous dunes between the city and Al Ain oasis. Many of the local tour operators offer desert safaris for the tourists at reasonable costs. While holidaying in the UAE capital, you’ll have the pleasure of tasting the delectable local dishes.
