Prices for tours in Abu Dhabi
For a vacation in Abu Dhabi, it is worth highlighting the spring and autumn months. But it is worth considering that this is a high season, so the prices for tours become as high as possible. If you can handle the heat well and want to save money, then you can plan a trip to this emirate for the summer. In addition, vouchers are available at attractive prices in winter, with the exception of New Year and Christmas tours.
On a note
If your goal is a sightseeing vacation, try not to go on excursions when the sun becomes very dangerous (11: 00-14: 00). It is advisable to move around the city on foot, by taxi or a rented car, since the urban transport system is rather poorly developed.
When going for a walk around the city, do not forget to take a photocopy of your documents with you, as police often carry out raids on the streets. In order not to be fined a round sum, or even worse - to end up in a local prison, one should not appear in public places drunk.
Experienced travelers are advised to bring bottles with colored sand, hookahs, incense and perfumery, jewelry, fabrics, dates from Abu Dhabi.
