Hotels in Abu Dhabi - Prices and Reviews

The cheapest flight we found was on Etihad Airways, and we had heard nothing but good things about the airlines operating out of the Middle East like Emirates. Then one of my clients rode Etihad to London and confirmed that it was decadent, even in economy. So we booked our $1400 flight home and decided for that much we'd have to stay in the Sta...

Greetings from Abu Dhabi Airport!  This short post is about the first part of our trip from Kathmandu to Cape Town.Kathmandu airport is very disorganized.  We arrived back at the airport three hours before our flight, and ended up needing almost all of that time to check in and get boarding passes, go through multiple low-tech security screens, ...

He tried to take me to his friends hotel by pretending he didn't know where my one was and when I was insistent on the name of the hotel and showed him on my phone about 100 times h...

After a nightmarish start to the summer (i.e. none), a friend and I decided to book a very last-minute trip. Guaranteed sunshine, an up and coming culture and curiosity brought us to the UAE. It was great. Apart from the much needed sunshine, we had a great time. These were my highlights: 1) the camel market in Al Ain. Steffen wanted to sell me ...
