What travelers are saying
- stb356Doncaster, UK3 contributionsStunning trip and a must see visit.
The guide (Sadly, I don't recall his name, though he wasn't tall & had a beard & glasses) was fantastic. He was extremely well versed and had a great sense of humour.
The chandeliers are stunningly beautiful.
If you visit, you need to go around 5pm to 5.30 pm to capture the mosque in daylight and by dusk.
What's more, it is free to visit!Written May 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - James B5 contributionsThe building itself is worth seeing; if you are an art enthusiast then the Louvre in Abu Dhabi is great to see, but I felt that the exterior design of the building was the only truly "Emirati" quality of this place. Expect it to be very much an extension of the Louvre in Paris.Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Mercy JohnKochi (Cochin), India65 contributionsBeautiful hotel. The decor is awesome. Best paintings and ambiance. The opulence of the oil rich country is visible here.Written March 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- justmarielouiseStaffordshire, UK484 contributionsWe visited the circuit to hire bikes and cycle the circuit on a Wednesday evening, unfortunately when we arrived there were no helmets left so we had to pay to hire some. There were road and mountain bikes available and we enjoyed completing several laps, you're able to ride, walk or run the 5km track from 7.30pm. An excellent activity which the children really enjoyed.Written May 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- James B5 contributionsThere is plenty to see along the Corniche; there are bikes for you to rent at the corners and it is very safe to walk along at any time. Would love to stay around here.Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- RezaManchester, UK47 contributionsTo be honest, after reading the reviews I was a bit apprehensive to go to this theme park but I have to admit that I was wrong.
I thought with the heat, it might be a good idea to go late afternoon but this was absolutely not necessary! The whole theme park is indoors and air conditioned, so any time you go you’ll be alright.
We went on an off season time and didn’t wait longer than 5 minutes in any of the queues. We finished the whole park in like 3 hours and had time to try some of the rides for a second or third time.
The staff are lovely, polite, and go above and beyond to look after you and make sure your little ones have a good time. My 10-year-old boy had a really good time.
The only reason I gave it a four star is that it’s fairly small. It’s like 20% the size of Alton Towers.
Minding you, without proof of negative COVID test you cannot enter so have your certificate handy.Written May 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - michaeltholeBad Schwartau, Germany627 contributionsThe visit of Qasr AL Watan was amazing. What a splendor! Jewels everywhere, we did not know at what we should look at first. The visit of this building is a must!Written May 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Shaymaa Ahmed4 contributionsThe adventure it self was amazing, the park is very clean, organized and full of variety of fun ideas and gamesWritten May 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ayeshaDubai, United Arab Emirates10 contributionsYas Mall is one of the known mall in Abu Dhabi. What makes this mall special that it lays within yas island entertainment area.
You can visit the mall as a resting/dinning place after visiting any of Yas entertaining theme parks (Ferrari world, Warner Brothers and Yas Waterpark)
The mall has everything! From cafes to gracious restaurants, to plying areas and enjoyable architectural scenery.

Food was amazing, view to die for and staff to look after your every need.Written May 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Ben HCorte Madera, CA30 contributionsAbsolutely the best thing we did in Abu Dhabi, hands down. If you have any desire to learn more about Falcons and Falconry this is a must-do. Our guide, Hassan, was incredibly knowledgeable but just as importantly, funny! He was able to keep a crowd that spoke at least four different languages, engaged for the entire tour. It was amazing to be up close and personal to witness a bird “pedicure” and also to watch a feeding from very close up. Even watching a surgery in action was amazing and shows how much these birds are really cared for.
I can’t say it enough: do this tour!Written April 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Maria Alejandra ZAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates8 contributionsOne of the best beaches where i have had the oportunity to bathe and enjoy during the time I live in Khalidiya has been on the corniche beach. Really a quiet beach, celan and relatively close even to get there walk.
Perphaps the only thing that the beach lacks to be more comfortable is to have some umbrellas in the public area to cover yourself from the sun.
My husband and I used to train for triathlon swimming there al 6 am.Written January 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Brenda ANew York City, NY91 contributionsMade a quick trip here. Many stores to chose from. The area is beautiful with so much to do if the mall is not your thing. Walking around the area if you have the time would be worth it.Written November 25, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Elmeer2 contributionsThe hotel Is pretty and has a great ambiance, the staff is really friendly and sweet they offer help and smile all time, very welcoming.
