Abu Dhabi named the second best city for a holiday in the world

The UAE’s capital ranked at the top of the list for tourists

Abu Dhabi is an amazing place to live with all of the new events and exhibitions as well as delicious restaurants to enjoy.

All of the exciting things that are happening in the UAE’s capital also make Abu Dhabi a great place for tourists. (The amazing weather doesn’t hurt, either).

This was confirmed in Bounce’s capital cities index, which ranked Abu Dhabi as the second best capital city for tourists.

In the recent study, Bounce analysed 69 cities from around the world to see how they ranked for holidaymakers in terms of number of attractions and restaurants, hotel and transport costs, and the weather. It’s no surprise then that Abu Dhabi came out No.2 given our warm, sunny days, cultural attractions and countless foodie experiences.
