If you are flying to Dubai, then why not check out Abu Dhabi is the message from Emirates Airline and Abu Dhabi Tourism.

The Dubai airline and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) have partnered up to make it easier for tourists to check out the UAE capital.

With just an hour between the two cities by road, the destinations are easy options for travellers to include on their travel itinerary in the Emirates.

As part of the deal which was signed at the Arabian Travel Market, the two create holiday packages that encompass the attractions of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Speaking on the partnership, the Director General for Tourism at DCT- Abu Dhabi, Saleh Mohamed Saleh Al Geziry said; “From thrills and adventures that can be found at our captivating experiences and theme parks such as Warner Brothers Abu Dhabi, to leading museums such as Louvre Abu Dhabi, there is something for everyone to enjoy. We can’t wait to share our Abu Dhabi story with the world.”
