A Short Getaway to Abu Dhabi

During my vacation to Dubai, I would love to make the trip to the beautiful Abu Dhabi. The easiest and cheapest way to travel to Abu Dhabi from Dubai would be to use the Emirates Express bus. The city is approximately 124 kilometers away and would take around two hours to get to the Abu Dhabi destination. Buses run from 6 AM to 9:30 PM, leaving every forty-five minutes.

I would love to take a day trip to Abu Dhabi, as it is part of the United Arab Emirates that is booming and gorgeous with much to offer. The city is rich in resources, and has both sea and desert right at your eyesight.

When my sister and I visit Abu Dhabi, we would want to go to the Liwa Oasis. The Liwa is a large oasis area with freshwater pools and date plantations. The oasis is known for its friendly and welcoming local residents.

There are various stunning gardens and beaches in the city as well, making it a very popular destination for tourists visiting the United Arab Emirates. Traditional culture remains alive in the emerging, modernized city, where one can find wonderful artwork and handicrafts in the city, which include weaved shawls, gown embroidery, baskets, rugs, and pottery.
