<![CDATA[Surrounded by parched desert sands, the tree-lined city of Abu Dhabi is a gleaming oasis of modernity and cosmopolitanism.<br/><br/>
Situated in the largest of the seven emirates which make up the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi makes an unusual and exotic city break destination.<br/><br/>
The city's dramatic skyline reflects its status as one of the world's largest oil-producing centres, as does its many luxury hotels and the relatively high quality of life enjoyed there.<br/><br/>
Known as one of the safest tourist destinations in the world, Abu Dhabi provides a unique environment in which to unwind. Trying your hand at camel riding, visiting the Heritage Village, grabbing some bargains at the souk (market) or relaxing on one of its white sandy beaches are just some of the ways to enjoy your city break, while many of the sumptuous hotels are attractions in themselves.<br/><br/>
If you fancy seeing some of the local wildlife, Futaisi Island is just a short boat trip away and provides opportunities to try and spot creatures including flamingoes, turtles and dolphins. Or alternatively get close to nature by enjoying one of Abu Dhabi's leafy parks.<br/><br/>
Direct flights from the UK are available through the illustrious airline Emirates, which has just been voted the Best Airline to the Middle East for the 14th successive year in the Travel Weekly Globe Awards.]]>
