This week, TravelSmart is all about Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates and a place known for its modern skyline, luxury resorts and rich heritage.
Simon Calder, The Independent‘s travel correspondent, and Annabel Grossman take a dive into the best of the beaches, with pristine white sand and turquoise water on offer along the Persian Gulf – whether you’re looking for a family-friendly day on the shore, water sports on the sea, or simply time to relax in the sunshine. Annabel recommends visiting during the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend for those seeking full-on glamour, while Simon shares his fondness for the cultural immersion on offer.
