Abu Dhabi is often touted as a destination best enjoyed with family or friends, but the city’s laidback pace also makes it perfect for solo travellers yearning for some downtime. Offering a seamless blend of luxury and heritage, the city ensures that every lone traveller enjoys the best of both worlds, all at their own pace.
When to Visit
Abu Dhabi is a year-round paradise but March-September is ideal for those who prefer warmer weather. Alternatively, the winter months from October-February are perfect for enjoying cooler temperatures during outdoor activities.
Finding Accommodation
There is no shortage of Abu Dhabi luxury hotels in the city, so it comes down to personal preference. Those who want to enjoy a stay away from the central city can opt for island stays at the likes of Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort.
Sights and Attractions
Abu Dhabi has a combination of modern and cultural attractions, giving solo travellers plenty to see and do. Iconic spots include the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Al Ain Oasis and the Louvre Abu Dhabi, each providing a gateway into the city’s culture and heritage.
How to Get Around
Public transportation makes getting around convenient and affordable, especially for lone tourists. Public buses are a good option because of their easy payment system via the Hafilat Smart Card. E-scooters and bicycles are also great eco-friendly options, available via apps like Careem and Scoot.
