Use of these bus services requires a temporary Hafilat card, which can be acquired for as little as 5 AED from the central Abu Dhabi bus station.
Shopping in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi’s rapidly growing reputation as a popular tourist destination is thanks in no small part to its shopping prospects for visitors. As an incredibly affluent area, it comes as little surprise that shopping malls are a heavy focus of the city, with some of these locations the best of their kind on the planet.

Yas Mall tops the list, the 370 store, 2.5 million square foot powerhouse surely not a far cry from the wonders of the world list.

Going out in Abu Dhabi
Serviced apartments in Abu Dhabi are at the centre of one of the most remarkable areas in the world every day, and this doesn’t change at night time. Visitors from abroad are expected to own a liquor license if consuming alcohol, but aside from this, the nighttime laws aren’t particularly constraining, although drunk and disorderly behavior is frowned upon. Most hotels and aparthotels in Abu Dhabi are complete with their own on-site bar, such as the Park Arjaan Apartments, but it’s advised to leave the comfort of your staying location and see what else the vibrant city has to offer. Bars, pubs, nightclubs, sports bars and live music are all commonplace, and can put that of other countries to shame.
