As the shimmering capital of the Emirates, Abu Dhabi is a city where night owls and partygoers can enjoy an array of after-hours distractions. Offering something for everyone, the desert city is a destination that not only caters to extraverts but also to those who would rather take a walk on the wild side instead of heading to the nearest nightclub.
Hit the Abu Dhabi Night Market
Occupying pride of place at Formal Park, the Abu Dhabi Night Market is a foodie’s paradise where travellers can have their fill of local treats. The bustling outdoor market with its clothing and accessory stalls and innumerable snack vendors is a family-friendly highlight that opens its doors to shoppers and diners at 5 pm.
Waterfront Dining
Holidaymakers based at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort or any other offshore resort in Abu Dhabi, on the other hand, can enjoy a multi-course meal by the ocean. The waterfront restaurants, bars and cafes that are part and parcel of Abu Dhabi island resorts are not only ideal for a romantic date night but also for celebrating special milestones.
Sign Up for a Night Kayaking Adventure
Abu Dhabi also offers visitors the opportunity to paddle across the waters surrounding the Louvre Abu Dhabi and its key mangrove forests after hours. Kayaking enthusiasts can take in the sights and sounds of the city from some of the city’s most tranquil environments when they sign up for a night kayaking expedition at Jubail Mangrove Park or via Husaak Adventures at the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum.
Set Sail on a Dinner Cruise
Those who are visiting the city for the first time may also find that a dinner combines a scrumptious meal with spectacular views of the city’s skyline. Although the routes, menus and duration may differ depending on the tour operator, Abu Dhabi dinner cruises have remained a popular evening activity option for decades due to their inherent charm.
