Souk Madinat Jumeirah: My Plan for Shops, Dinner and an Abra Ride
I would plan Souk Madinat Jumeirah as a relaxed evening: browse first, decide whether the paid abra tour earns its place, then settle into dinner. The mistake is treating it as a free boat ride with guaranteed front-row views from every table. It is a modern, traditional-style marketplace within Madinat Jumeirah, and the waterways are…
Manarat Al Saadiyat: Abu Dhabi’s Cultural Hub
Manarat Al Saadiyat earns its place on my Abu Dhabi shortlist for the changing exhibitions and the chance to make something yourself. I’d choose an Art Studio session or a particular show, then build the visit around it. Dropping in simply because it is near the Louvre misses the point: this is the programme-led, hands-on…
Brass Monkey City Walk: Bowling, Arcade and Booking Guide
Brass Monkey City Walk is my pick when dinner needs a competitive streak. Bowling, darts and arcade games give the group something to do beyond debating another round. The C2 Licensed District branch has 12 bowling lanes and a menu of tacos, sliders, pizzas and sharing dishes. I’d choose it for an adults’ games night,…

Qasr Al Watan: Complete Guide to Abu Dhabi’s Presidential Palace
Qasr Al Watan is my Abu Dhabi pick for a palace visit with substance beyond the dome photograph. I’d give the Great Hall, House of Knowledge and exhibits proper time, then add Palace in Motion only when the ticket and timetable work together. The architecture makes the first impression; understanding what the rooms are for…
