The richest of all the Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi looks much more sedate than its nearest neighbor Dubai. He does not aspire, like Dubai, to collect all the "most-the-most", does not rush upward with the needles of skyscrapers and does not add additional stars to the facades of hotels. Self-sufficient travelers rest here, for whom the extra fuss as a component of a successful vacation is categorically not suitable.
If you decide to find a way to get to Abu Dhabi profitably and quickly, consider the offers of all airlines based both in the United Arab Emirates and in European countries. It often happens that flights with connections are much cheaper and transfers do not cause much trouble.
