Abu Dhabi is spread across islands and the distances are longer than the map suggests, so the area you pick decides how much of the day you spend in a car. The Corniche and Saadiyat suit different trips entirely: one is the city, the other is beach and museums. Almost every rate here can still be cancelled free.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 111 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
