The experience was exciting. Thanks Headout! Yas waterworld is the most fun place for children and adults! Kindly recommend to visit, staff are friendly, food is good, we took a cabana with towels, sunbeds, water for 390 AED, it was comfortable. National aquarium is also nice, be attentive waterworld is different, I didn't know that and firstly we went to waterworld, I thought it's the same place)) we came there after 6 pm and there were few people. After visiting the aquarium you can walk in Al Qana, there are lots of restaurants for having a dinner. Also you can visit the butterfly garden.

Visiting the Abu Dhabi National Aquarium was such a refreshing experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re pulled into a beautiful underwater world that feels both educational and magical. The aquarium is spacious, well-organized, and incredibly clean, making it enjoyable even when it’s busy. Each zone is thoughtfully designed, and the variety of marine life—from colorful reef fish to majestic sharks—is truly impressive. What stood out most was how informative yet engaging everything was; you don’t just look at the animals, you actually learn their stories. It’s a perfect place for families, couples, or even solo visitors who want a peaceful and fascinating escape. Definitely one of Abu Dhabi’s must-visit attractions.

We had planned two hours for our visit to the Sultan's Palace, but ended up staying for four. We have never seen so much beauty, harmony, and artistry anywhere else. The palace is wonderful and far exceeded all our expectations.

Qasr Al Watan is a breathtaking place, with all of its exceptional architecture and luxurious gardens. I went there after finishing an educational program in Abu Dhabi, and it easily became one of the best parts of my 2-week trip. I went there alone, but I definitely imagine the experience will be much more amazing than it already is with a group of friends. I got to see the international gifts exhibition and have a look at halls that have reached the top level of building beauty and skill, and the space is so spacious that you don't get affected by the number of visitors. The ticket booking experience through Headout was very smooth and I got my ticket immediately. No bugs, no delays, no weird errors; just a simple booking and great destination.
