what's going on everybody this island Hopper TV coming to you from Abu Dhabi let's do it
[Music]
[Music] all right guys we are going to be doing a Abu Dhabi travel guide from the most
wealthy Emirate here in the United Arab Emirates most people think about Dubai and Overlook
Abu Dhabi but we're going to show you why you shouldn't and here we are at the beach
called Grinch right in downtown Abu Dhabi if you look behind me you can see high rises
but look how clear this water is and if I'm to be honest with you I would say the beaches
in Abu Dhabi are actually better than the ones in Dubai
so you can go to the beach that we were just at but this family beach right here you literally
have to be a family so that means if you're by yourself or if you're with the group of
friends you're not allowed to go to that beach because it's literally a family beach so after
stopping by the beach we're actually headed over towards the Emirates Palace all right
guys here we are at the Emirates Palace it's a seven star hotel let's go take a look on
the outside this place looks like a palace and on the inside it looks like a palace so
if you do come here and you get a room it probably indicates that you got some big money
but you can still come here even if you don't have a room walk around and Marvel at the
architecture or stop by one of the many restaurants I think these palm trees are real fake all
right I'll admit that's a lame joke but I did see the palm trees in there and I had
to go up and touch them to see if they were real or fake turns out they're fake but there
is absolutely no doubt this Emirates Palace is a special hotel so take note now we're
gonna see if we can get some views 360 degrees of Abu Dhabi and we're at the Etihad Towers
we're going to see if we can go up top and get a nice view of the palace and all of Abu
Dhabi
I will admit I do enjoy going to the top of these tall buildings and getting nice views
going up there having some dessert like a piece of chocolate or a tea coffee whatever
it is that you like or a beer I've just found that to be a really nice thing to do when
you visit Abu Dhabi or Dubai mostly because it's indoors it's a great View and it's relaxing
especially in the afternoon foreign [Music] the 74th floor super high up here but they
have a restaurant and if you're Hilton Honors member you actually get some perks 10 off
but check out these guys doing the window cleaning and you know someone's got to clean
the windows and these guys do a great job and they're super Brave anyways we're headed
over to the mosque this place is like the modern Taj Mahal in my opinion you step in
there and you're going to be like whoa I mean this place is spectacular you do need a ticket
before you can go in there you can go on the website and get it it's actually free it's
just basically you booking your slot in time to go the official entrance is actually underground
in air conditioned so that's a good thing
and here we are at the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi let's go take a look and there is a
bit of a dress code I would encourage you to go on their website to make sure you're
in compliance with that ladies you should cover your head when you're there uh if not
I do believe they allow you to rent or they offer you a garment to put over your head
you're not allowed in without that and the reason is because it's a religious place you
want to be respectful of the religion when you're there so everyone will be asked to
be respectful when taking pictures and follow the rules
foreign yeah this place really does go all out with the inlay in the marble the actual
carving of the marble I've been to the Taj Mahal and I've been here and I will say this
place is spectacular and it's probably actually better than the Taj Mahal because it's modern
the Taj Mahal definitely has more historical relevance but this place is amazing foreign
they have a free taxi at the end
[Music] all right well after checking out that beautiful mosque Shake Zayed Grand Moss
what do you guys say we go have some fun over at Ferrari World and then head over to Warner
Brothers World Ferrari world's actually home to the world's fastest roller coaster go figure
it's here at Ferrari all right we've made it to Ferrari World we're gonna go inside
here and ride some rides
[Music] I hope you guys are ready for some really exciting rides here so the ticket costs
345 AED that's 93 bucks but you get three Parks out of one ticket if you go in two days
[Music]
I'm ready to do NASCAR
big brain big head you know me big mouth
[Music]
yeah these things they go really fast so if you get a chance to do this ride when you
come here do it but it does cost about 40 AED per person [Music]
foreign [Music]
I got some serious roller coasters here check out this one flying Aces

[Music]
and as I told you the world's fastest roller coaster is right here this is Formula Rosa
[Music]
[Music] foreign [Music] guys we are at the world's largest theme park Warner Brothers
in Abu Dhabi let's do it I should clarify it's the world's largest indoor theme park
and we got the three park pass well this was actually a two-park pass that we used Warner
Brothers and Ferrari so it was all for 93 bucks per person for the two parks but we're
going to show you around cartoon world here and uh show you some of the roller coasters
do some rides that was a great ride I would do it again [Music] thank you [Music] when
you come out here you better watch out for the mammoths

foreign
[Music]
yeah so being that it's all indoors it's a very pleasant climate you can walk around
hang out check out all the rides exhibits all that stuff and not have to worry about
working up a big sweat
and on our third day we decided to get a slow start but we got some breakfast and then let's
show you guys around this hotel room real quick right in the downtown area this is a
typical accommodation for around 120 dollars per night
but now let's go check out the Louvre Museum [Music] so everything you see inside of the
Louvre is actually an authentic piece this is truly a world-class Art Exhibit and you
probably don't want to miss it
[Music]
yeah you're probably going to want to schedule around four to five hours to walk around this
place it's quite spectacular but after that we ended up heading to a convention which
was going on for the international hunting and equestrian exhibition [Music] thank you
