Now that things are opening up again in Abu Dhabi, there are restaurants, bars, brunches and staycation deals to check out across the capital this summer.
If you’re a culture fan, you’ll be pleased to know some of the emirate’s museums and galleries are also open.
For those who want to chill out but don’t want a night way, many hotels have introduced day pass deals, allowing you to enjoy the facilities and a room from morning to evening.
And now pools in Abu Dhabi are open, there’s plenty more to recommend these deals.
