"The hotel room was great. The AC worked good, and the beds were good. Some things in the room didn't work like the Tv's and the safe, but it got the job done. The hotel is in an interesting part of town, but it was safe, and parking was good in the evening."

If you can, get a cab to the newly opened Jubail Mangrove Park on Jubail Island (it’s a network of boardwalks over mangroves). There’s a little pizza place and lovely coffee shop there to sit and relax with a drink after walking the boardwalk.

Dubai is great but I think Abu Dhabi is a gem in it’s own right and if anything very peaceful and not too busy and plenty to see and do. A bit like a cultural hub with so much to do and see.

4/5 - Good
