Abu Dhabi from the Water: A Sea Lover’s Travel Guide

Share

Abu Dhabi is a city built on islands, so its waters are as much a part of the capital as its streets. Whether you are visiting for a few days or have lived here for years, this Abu Dhabi travel guide looks at the city from the deck of a private yacht.

What you see from the water

A cruise along the coast shows the Abu Dhabi skyline from a new angle: the towers of the Corniche, the islands around the capital and the open blue water of the Gulf. Your captain plans the route for the hours you book and the weather of the day.

Tips for your time at sea

• When to go: October to May has the most comfortable weather for cruising.
• Sunset cruises: start about an hour before sunset to enjoy the light and the photos.
• Bring: sunscreen, sunglasses and soft-soled shoes for the deck.
• Extras: cake, decoration, a photographer, catering and water sports can be added on request.
