opportunity to take in some fresh air and enjoy sweeping views of Abu Dhabi
Island and its surroundings. The best place to find dhow cruises is from the
Corniche, which runs along the waterfront on both sides of Sheikh Zayed Road
near Marina Mall.
Dhow boats are available for hire throughout the year--from early morning until sunset--and offer passengers an intimate glimpse into local culture as well as breathtaking views of Abu Dhabi Island (where most hotels are located).

jewelry to souvenirs. It's also a great place for locals and tourists alike who
want to go for a walk or jog along the sand or simply enjoy watching surfers
ride waves during high tide (the best time is between April through October).
If you're looking for something more relaxing, stop by one of the many hammocks
strung up along the edge of Corniche Beach so you can watch boats cruise past
while sipping on something cool from your picnic basket!
