Looking for cool things to do at Mamsha this summer?
Just because the mercury is rising there’s no excuse to spend your summer months at home. In fact, we’d argue that the summer is the perfect time to explore Mamsha Al Saadiyat.
The quieter time of year means the beach has plenty of room (if you’re willing to brave the sun) the restaurants are less busy; plus there are plenty of fun things to do indoors, too.
In short, if you’re looking for things to do at Mamsha this summer, we’ve got you covered.
Beach day at Soul Beach
A beach day in Abu Dhabi during the summer isn’t for the faint of heart. We don’t have to tell you what the temperature is like outside (it’s impossible not to notice) so if you do opt for a beach day be sure to stay hydrated and spend plenty of time in the shade. However, if you are going to the beach this summer, Soul Beach is pretty hard to beat. Powdery white sand, gorgeous blue water and wide open sky. Entry is Dhs50 for adults and Dhs25 for kids on weekdays and Dhs70 for adults and Dhs40 for kids on weekends.
