Overview

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is a gleaming metropolis of striking architecture, cultural depth, and unmatched luxury set along the Arabian Gulf. Home to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and Formula 1's Yas Marina Circuit, the city blends ancient Islamic heritage with futuristic ambition.

For points travelers, Abu Dhabi is one of the most rewarding destinations on the planet. Marriott Bonvoy members can redeem at properties like the St. Regis Abu Dhabi, while World of Hyatt covers the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is genuinely one of the most impressive art museums built in the 21st century. Visitors can ride rollercoasters at Ferrari World, explore the mangroves by kayak, or take a desert safari — all within a short drive.
