ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Abu Dhabi is not going into summer and the school holidays unprepared, and is ready to offer no fewer than 100 experiences for residents and visitors, ensuring there is plenty to do and plenty of deals to enjoy in the coming months.
Families can also take advantage of free hotel stays for kids at 40 properties, alongside dedicated family programmes and camps.
The special offers across hospitality, food and beverage, retail and attractions broaden Abu Dhabi’s appeal as a summer holiday destination offering world-class theme parks, cultural landmarks, family days out and evenings of live entertainment.
Kids Go Free
Across 40 hotels, including 10 properties on Yas Island and 30 around the city, children aged 12 or below stay free with paying adults all summer. Kids and adults also get free entry to participating museums.
More than 20 summer camps, offering creative and educational activities as well as the Gifted and Talented Summer Programme, will also keep young minds busy, curious and having fun right through the holidays.
Stay Cool
Abu Dhabi is weather-proof, meaning there’s always somewhere cool and comfortable to enjoy yourself throughout the day.
Embark on a journey at Snow Abu Dhabi, step into the immersive digital worlds of teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, experience thrills at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, or enjoy a leisurely afternoon at Louvre Abu Dhabi.
For those looking to unwind, pool day passes are available at some of the emirate’s premier hotels and resorts.
For culture lovers, Saadiyat Cultural District invites residents and visitors to explore three of its landmark museums under one flexible, cost-effective ticket: the Museum Pass.
Spanning Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab world, Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, a journey through 13.8 billion years of the universe and life on Earth, and Zayed National Museum, telling the story of the land, its people and the enduring legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, visitors can choose to visit two museums or all three. Children under 18 enjoy free entry with every pass, making it an even better deal for families.
Staycations
There’s just as much to enjoy for couples, friends and solo travellers. Unwind with an island staycation on Saadiyat Island, a morning of wellness at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, or a relaxed day pass by the water at Hudayriyat Island.

In July, must-visit events include the Liwa Date Festival (July 13-27); an annual event which celebrates a treasured Emirati tradition, Atif Aslam in concert (July 18), and the energy of UAE Warriors (July 22-23).
