Abu Dhabi Hotel Reviews

City Airport Terminal: thought this would be convenient to check in and with free shuttle to airport, however Etihad customers cannot use it as they do not have a counter there (yet). Not a great deal to do in AbuDhabi as such, but good for a suntan and relaxation at a third the price of Dubai (would still like to see Dubai though). Dubai is not too far away (taxi driver said an hour and a half...depending on traffic - negotiate fair before hand). Also thought the desert safari''s sounded good.

I arrived late at night. Flew from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, but later found out the distance is only 140 km. It would have been much faster and quicker to drive than fly. Unless you wanted to spend time shopping in the Dubai airport duty free. Abu Dhabi airport is a bit small and needs expansion inside. My bag was lost for about an hour, not a welcome experience when you are the first time in an airport at 11.30pm at night. But the airport baggage staff were diligent in finding it. The airport is about 20 minutes from the city, via good high speed expressways.
