Sports and leisure activities Île D'Abu Dhabi

Your guides will take you to the Dhabi foreshore to discover the mangrove, an ecosystem that is richer than you might think. The woody plants plunge their stilt roots into the mud. In addition to this outing, Noukhada offers a full calendar of activities, boating, diving, and snorkeling, including day trips and "mystery" night trips. Finding the launch site is like orienting yourself in a construction zone, so make sure to note the access map.

Founded in 1976 by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Club had its first public race in 1991. In 2011, a new grandstand was built to accommodate up to 5,000 people. Located just 10 minutes from the capital's city centre, the Abu Dhabi Racecourse holds up to 16 races a year! The club also organises show jumping competitions and offers riding lessons at its riding school.

Al Mahara Diving Center offers diving trips to the crystal clear waters of Abu Dhabi and further east to the Mussamdam enclave. You can discover sharks, dugongs, sea turtles and other unsuspected wildlife. The depths are not very deep in the Arabian Sea, so this is still a fairly easy trip. For those who prefer to snorkel, there are also excursions available. It is possible to take courses to obtain the Padi. Paddle, kayak and several motorized water sports are also available.

Abu Dhabi City Golf is the oldest course in the United Arab Emirates. Opened in 1976, it is located in the heart of the city, just a few swings from the horse racing track and against the backdrop of the Abu Dhabi skyline. Designed by Briton Scott Taylor, the 9-hole Par 70 features a Par 5, six Par 4s and two Par 3s. The clubhouse is very popular with the city's expatriates, especially at weekends. Discounts are available on the website. A unique place to relax just a few minutes from the Corniche.

Small round electric boats for a safe and eco-friendly trip on the Mangroves. 6 people can sit around a table and without an attendant. The boat moves very slowly and silently, for the joy of the youngest and the oldest. To go a little further, small electric boats for up to 10 people can move inside the mangroves to discover their ecosystem populated by many migratory birds and at a speed of 12 km/h. You can take your picnic with you.

Yellow Boats leaves from Yas Island to offer you different speedboat cruises to discover the amusement parks, part of the Mangroves, the spectacular circular skyscraper "Aldar HQ" or the Corniche skyline from the turquoise waters. It's a great way to take pictures, a fun way to see some of the 200 natural islands that make up the emirate of Abu Dhabi and to discover the most beautiful views of Abu Dhabi. We recommend the tours around 5pm, as the light is less bright.

This beautiful beach is nearly 800 metres long and faces the bridge that connects Abu Dhabi Island to Hudayriat Island in the residential area of Al Bateen. A huge parking lot, several refreshment and food outlets make this public beach an ideal outing. It has also been awarded the Blue Flag by the local authorities. There is a water sports centre where you can hire a paddle or jet-ski for a spin. Lifeguards are on site and volleyball is available.

Mushrif Park was recently renamed Umm Al Emarat, in tribute to Sheikha Fatima (still alive), wife of Sheikh Zayed and mother of the Crown Prince, Sheikh Mohammed, the new President of the United Arab Emirates. Opened in 1982, it is one of the oldest parks in the city. Open-air concerts, animal enclosures, children's park, restaurant, small train. A real green lung in the center, without forgetting the famous food truck at the entrance: Salt.
