Also, how far are these from the airport, and how does one get from the airport to the malls. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi All.

I have reserved for a short break in Al Futaisi Island in Abu Dhabi.

Has anyone been there before?

Would you like to give us your feedback about the activities in alfutaisi?

What can I do there? What should I do there? What should I avoid?

Thanks.

I am attending a conference in Abu Dhabi next week. Etihad say they have applied for the visa but can not say when it will be issued (they were given 1 month notice). Yesterday they mentioned it has been applied for as an urgent matter.

We are travelling in 2 days time. Is it ok to travel without a reference number for the visa application assuming it will be on the system at abu dhabi airport.

The conference organisers have also applied so there will be 2 applications.

The visa is for my wife who holds a pakistani passport with entry clearance for UK, she has been living with me for over a year in the UK.

I hold a british passport so will get a visa on arrival.

We will be staying in Abu Dhabi for 104 hours.....transit is valid for 96 hours, is this flexible since we have ongoing flight confirmation.

Hi, Abu dhabi Friends!
I am excited with flying in Abudhabi after all your help.

I heard about Reem island in Abudhabi, but I can't find much more info other than some properties. Is it a new residential place like palm in Dubai and celeblities will buy the houses there??? I am just curious, because Reem is my roomy's name long time ago... Is Reem island easy to reach? I am thinking of visiting there if it's worthy on the way to Abudhabi!

Thanks
