Abu Dhabi

Dubai, the iconic city of the United Arab Emirates, is truly a gem of the Middle East. With its futuristic skyscrapers, luxurious shopping malls, and spectacular attractions, it draws millions of visitors each year. However, for a Canadian traveling such a long distance, it would be quite sad not to take the time to also explore the capital, Abu Dhabi, which is just a few hours' drive away.

Abu Dhabi is often seen as Dubai's little sister, but it undoubtedly deserves a spot on your itinerary. The city is rich in culture, history, and traditions, offering an experience that perfectly complements the vibrancy of Dubai. The majestic Emirates Palace, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, and the cultural district of Saadiyat Island are must-see sites that will immerse you in Emirati heritage.

Spending at least three nights in Abu Dhabi will not only allow you to explore these wonders but also enable you to enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. You can savor local cuisine at fine dining restaurants, unwind on pristine beaches, and discover unique experiences like Ferrari World or the Louvre Abu Dhabi.

While Dubai and Abu Dhabi are close together, they offer very different atmospheres. Dubai is synonymous with modernity and vibrancy, whereas Abu Dhabi invites you to enjoy serenity and discovery. By combining both, you will have the opportunity to experience the best of the Emirates: the ultra-modernity of Dubai and the cultural richness of Abu Dhabi.

Moreover, we offer private transportation between the two cities, simple and quick.  Missing out on Abu Dhabi during your trip would be a missed opportunity to fully experience this fascinating region.

In summary, a trip to Dubai without visiting Abu Dhabi is an incomplete experience. For a Canadian traveler, it would be truly regrettable to make such a long journey without exploring this captivating city. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast, a culture lover, or simply seeking relaxation, Abu Dhabi has something to offer everyone. So, on your next trip to Dubai, be sure to include at least three nights in Abu Dhabi in your itinerary. You won't regret it!
