Abu Dhabi is a well-connected destination

Just a six-hour flight from parts of Europe and four hours from India, Abu Dhabi is a well-connected destination. More than 50 airlines fly to and from some 102 destinations in over 56 countries through the award-winning Abu Dhabi International Airport. The national airline, Etihad Airways, meanwhile, offers guests over 100 passenger destinations across six continents. If you’d prefer to cruise to the emirate, Abu Dhabi also attracts the world’s leading cruise lines throughout the year. The city is even home to the region’s only dedicated cruise beach stopover, a desert island day call to wildlife reserve Sir Bani Yas Island, home to over 17,000 free-roaming animals.
