Relax at a spa: Tough week? Get down to the Emirates Palace and slip into one of their lavish facilities, relaxing in either a Jacuzzi, sauna, or ice cave. Anantara Spa also offers private suites if you’re looking for an extended stay (and some top-rate massage).

Take a boat tour: Captain Tony is inviting Abu Dhabi to take a scenic tour along its typically unexplored coastal waters. Not only will the view be great, but while sailing around, you’ll also learn a lot about the culture and environment – a fine idea for a more chilled expedition.
