| Abu Dhabi Emirate - Tourism Media |
Abu Dhabi has been on my travel wish list ever since Carrie
Bradshaw and her girls whisked themselves to the capital of the United Arab
Emirates saying “Abu Dhabi Doo” in SATC 2. On an extensive search of this mainland
on an island in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf, I just fell in love with all the
information I could gather about it. If you think of opulence of culture, magnificence
of architecture, thorough look into the heritage that prevails and have a
complete smorgasbord of all you could long for a vacation for all ages, you
have to think of Abu Dhabi.
Everyone who has an eye for perfection and grandeur will
certainly keep Abu Dhabi on the top of their list. So, being the
self-proclaimed travel freak in search for a memorable adventure that I am, here’s
my two cents on the travel itinerary I have planned for my currently quixotic
vacation to Abu Dhabi:
Basking In the Glory of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center
No visit to Abu Dhabi is complete or even justified without
a wholesome tour of this exquisitely beautiful and cultural landmark with fine
detailing that shouldn’t go unwitnessed. In addition to this religious and
cultural magnificence, the mosque center also has world's largest hand-knotted
carpet and chandeliers.

Reaching the Zenith of Fun and Frolic in Yas Island, Ferrari
World
This amusement park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is sheer
dream work that has manifested itself into a theme park that ensures plethora
of fun and adventurous activities, thrilling rides and a sure shot recipe for
jollification of one’s Abu Dhabi trip. Being the first Ferrari-branded theme
park that has the record for the largest space frame structure ever built, this
has to be the place where I intend to relive my childhood, make memories that
last for another lifetime as well and ride as many roller coasters as I can
take.

Water, water and more water at Yas Island Waterworld
Home to 45 rides, slides and attractions – five of which are
world-firsts, Yas Island Waterworld is a must visit waterpark where one can
drench oneself in the awesomeness of idiosyncratic rides and have fun in
abundance playing with more and more of H2O.
Desert Safari
There’s nothing as serene and surreal as gazing at the sky
full of stars whilst on a Desert Safari. How is an adventurous trip even
complete unless you sand surf, ride and see camels, get a first-hand experience
of the culture and click selfies wearing the traditional clothes, the quirky
essence of henna, music, food, seeing a belly dance and coming face to face
with a falcon? Yes, all that should be done to get the true essence of being in
Abu Dhabi.

There are plethora of other activities that can accentuate
the visit further, but these are the places and the activities that set the
benchmark for a quintessential vacation. Dripping in fun at water and theme
park, seeing the manmade island that has become the very highlight of the city,
riding high on deserts, and a sneak peak into the luxury and finery of
picturesque places and monuments, that’s Abu Dhabi for you and if that’s not
the perfect set of ingredients for a memorable vacation, then what is?
