Abu Dhabi

This iconic city is the capital and one of the jewels in the crown of the United Arab Emirates. When your private jet charter flight touches down, you’ll quickly sense the excitement and know you’re in for an amazing stay.

Naturally, you’ll want to hit the miles of shimmering beach and sea, stretched out along the Persian Gulf. One worth your time is Saadiyat Beach. You’ll find everything from yoga classes at dawn, to water sports and native wildlife. Staff are attentive and there to help you get the very best from your beachside experience.

Hotel options are also at the standard you might expect from this premium destination. After your long private jet charter, nothing beats stepping into a luxurious hotel to freshen up.

And if you’re looking to book into the top of the range accommodation, you won’t be disappointed. Popular options include Zaya Nurai Island Resort. A 15-minute boat ride from Abu Dhabi and you’re ready to check into this boutique island resort. With exceptional views and plenty of room and villa options, there’s plenty of choice for eating and relaxing.

If you prefer a more intimate stay, then you might consider driving out an hour for a desert retreat at Al Ain and specifically the Telal Resort.

For entertainment, Abu Dhabi is second to none. Escape the city and try some sandboarding, spend the night in a desert village or go on safari.

In the city itself prepare to be wowed by the stunning architecture. Make time to visit Abu Dhabi’s Louvre, the stunning dome roof alone is worth an hour of your time. Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest places of worship in the world and open to all. Finally, spend time at Wahat Al Karama, a shrine to the country’s fallen soldiers, considered martyrs.

When you’re staying in Abu Dhabi you’re in for a culinary treat. Cuisines from all over the world are on your doorstep, from some of the very best chefs in the world. Specialist Emirati fare, food from Paris, Italy and South America, bring your wallet and your appetite.

If you’re looking for a post-dinner drink, head to Barfly by Buddha Bar for a relaxing intimate experience in neo-Baroque surroundings.

And finally, to the climate. Naturally, you’re looking at warm to hot temperatures all year round but be advised that during the warmer months (May to September) temperatures can peak at around 42°C/ 107°F. Outside these times, at either end of the year, temperatures and humidity levels drop to around 25°C-35°C (75°F-95°F). But be warned the cooler months do mean more tourists and a busier city.
