A Long Weekend Trip to Abu Dhabi

While you are in Qatar it is nice to explore the area, and Abu Dhabi is an ideal location for a long weekend as the flight is less than an hour from Doha.

When we went we stayed at the Rotana Beach Hotel that was great, nice place with good service. Tell them it is your wedding anniversary or birthday and they will lay on special service for you (it genuinely was our wedding anniversary when we went). Attached to the hotel is a shopping mall.

Abu Dhabi is laid out in a grid and is quite easy to get around, there are also lots of taxis.

Places to visit while you are there: the big mosque on the outskirts of town (this is only open in the mornings for visitors I think); the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel that is on the waterfront of the Corniche, as well as the Yas Marina Motor Racing Circuit (that has a Ferrarri world place attached now, it was not finished when we were there).
