SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is a massive indoor marine park on Yas Island, built around eight themed zones that cover different ocean habitats; from the icy poles to warm coral reefs. You’ll see everything from sharks and sea lions to manta rays and tropical birds, plus a few rides and shows mixed in.

In the immediate vicinity of Nagyerdei Arena, a one-of-a-kind attraction beckons from spring through fall. The multimedia fountain, or “Mist Theatre,” boasts a 30×10-m, fan-shaped curtain of water vapor which can be used as a functional movie screen to show clips of Debrecen as well as special laser installations. The more adventurous might want to try the stepping stones across the basin on sweltering summer days.

Frisbee + Golf = Discgolf Just like with golf, you make your play from a starting zone. Instead of a golf ball, a frisbee disc glides through the air; instead of a hole, it lands in a catch-basket. The objective is to "sink" your frisbee with as few tosses as possible. So much for the distinctions. Both sports require patience, concentration and steadiness, those are the sporting virtues they have in common. 18-hole downhill course You tee off at 1,850 meters altitude at the mountain terminal of the Sonnkogelbahn. Then you work your way hole by hole down to the Sonnenalm at 1,400 meters.

No holiday in Abu Dhabi would be complete without a visit to this fascinating centre. Local female Bedouin artists and artisans, usually wearing a traditional dress, demonstrate age-old crafts, including henna body painting, embroidery and silver thread work in a series of small huts. You should remove your shoes before entering the huts, as is the local custom.
