Imagine being one of 20 people named Summer, invited to Abu Dhabi for the ultimate getaway. Sounds like a dream, right? That dream became a reality recently, thanks to Experience Abu Dhabi, who orchestrated a whirlwind three-day adventure for these lucky Summers. The motto? ‘One Summer Isn’t Enough’ – because, frankly, Abu Dhabi has so much to offer that even three days might not cut it.
A Summer Like No Other In Abu Dhabi
The twenty Summers kicked off their epic journey with a bang, conquering the world’s tallest indoor flight chamber at CLYMB Abu Dhabi. Talk about starting high! After floating sky-high, they enjoyed a breakfast with giraffes at Emirates Park Zoo – a unique start to the day that’s hard to top. And let’s not forget the sunrise kayak through serene mangroves, a beachside chill at Café del Mar, and a traditional Emirati breakfast at Abdulrahman Al Zaabi’s home. This was just the beginning of a whirlwind tour that seamlessly blended relaxation with exhilarating activities.
Cultural Immersion and Fun
The adventure continued with snowball fights at Snow Abu Dhabi and a meet-and-greet with capybaras at The National Aquarium – definitely not your everyday encounters! The Summers tapped into their artistic side with a visit to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and a crafts workshop at Manarat Al Saadiyat, creating bespoke souvenirs with traditional Arabic techniques. For those with a need for speed and thrills, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi provided the perfect backdrop for superhero encounters and adrenaline-pumping rides.
Iconic Landmarks and Gourmet Flavours
Every Summer had their chance to marvel at Abu Dhabi’s architectural wonders, including the majestic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the historic Qasr Al Hosn, and the artistic House of Artisans. The city’s culinary scene was equally impressive. Imagine dining in the dark at Bab Al Qasr, relying solely on taste and smell – a sensory adventure of its own. They indulged in local Emirati treats like date syrup dough balls and Chebab, alongside Lebanese fusion at Li Beirut and Mediterranean delights at Mika. For a taste of global cuisine, Mate served Argentinian fare, COYA brought Peruvian zest, and Antonia offered Italian classics.
The 20 Summer adventure in Abu Dhabi showcased the city’s boundless offerings, from heart-racing activities to rich cultural experiences and gourmet dining. Their journey proved that Abu Dhabi’s charm is boundless and that a single summer simply isn’t enough to experience it all. If you’re ready for an adventure of your own, Abu Dhabi’s doors are wide open – and there’s always more to explore!
