So, when you reach the city, you might find some glances here and there. But, don\u2019t be alarmed. They are still adapting to the changing times.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_a_Diverse_City\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a Diverse City<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abu Dhabi is UAE\u2019s most popular city after Dubai. Here, you will find expats of all kinds &#8211; from India and Pakistan to Canada, Lebanon, and more. It won\u2019t be wrong to say that it\u2019s a melting pot where a lot of cultures, people, and ideas come together.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Costs_Less_than_You_Think\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs Less than You Think<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UAE is one of the wealthiest countries worldwide. So, a common myth about travelling to cities like Abu Dhabi is that they are highly overpriced in nature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get ready for a pleasant surprise because it\u2019s not that expensive. The city has something to offer to everyone, regardless of their budget. You\u2019d be able to stay and get around the city at affordable prices.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides hotels, you\u2019d also find hostels in the city. This wasn\u2019t the case some years ago because of the different cultural expectations of men and women in the area. But now, it\u2019s an option, that too a great one.\u00a0 We cannot say the same about other cities like Sharjah as of now, but you can easily find cheap hostels in Abu Dhabi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a little tight on budget, we suggest eating at authentic food stalls in Abu Dhabi rather than opting for exorbitant restaurants. You\u2019d be in awe of the street food variety that will elevate your taste buds. From stuffed <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">falafel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shawarma<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">luqaimat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the choices are endless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pocket-Friendly_Transport_Options\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pocket-Friendly Transport Options<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abu Dhabi offers plenty of options for solo women travellers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0including public buses, bicycles, taxis, and Ferris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buses are the cheapest option, connecting you to all the major parts of the city. The service runs round the clock across 14 routes. Bicycles are also a popular transportation choice amongst people in Abu Dhabi.\u00a0 Just make sure you stick to cycle-friendly zones and avoid high traffic areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also book taxis via Uber or other local apps. If not this, you can rent and drive a car of your choice as well. Keep in mind that both these options are expensive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dress_Code_for_Ladies\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dress Code for Ladies<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People in Abu Dhabi expect ladies to dress a certain way. However, the expectations aren\u2019t the same from tourists. We recommend wearing long robes and loose trousers when shopping in the city. Don\u2019t wear sleeveless dresses or tank tops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all, females will face no problem while solo travelling in Dubai. But if you are planning to travel into the far corners of the city, you will have to be cautious while planning your outfits.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Great_Abu_Dhabi_Bucket_List_-_4_Things_to_Do\"><\/span>The Great Abu Dhabi Bucket List &#8211; 4 Things to Do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/things-to-do-in-Abu-Dhabi.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in Abu Dhabi\" width=\"1110\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/things-to-do-in-Abu-Dhabi.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/things-to-do-in-Abu-Dhabi-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/things-to-do-in-Abu-Dhabi-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/things-to-do-in-Abu-Dhabi-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know what to be cautious about, make the most of your time in Abu Dhabi.\u00a0 We have curated a list of 4 places that you must add to your itinerary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sheikh_Zayed_Grand_Mosque\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On your trip to Abu Dhabi, you just cannot afford to miss visiting the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. An architectural wonder, it is considered one of the best mosques in the world. You don\u2019t have to pay a penny to enter the mosque because entries are free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women, however, need to know that they will have to wear a full-length gown with a hood that covers their head. You can also take your scarf with you if you don\u2019t want to wear a hood. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit before sunset and you\u2019ll get to see a breath-taking view.

The hospital allows visitors to view these ferocious creatures from a close distance. Visiting the hospital will help you learn about the history of falcons in the UAE and even get the chance to hold or feed one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a fully-functional hospital where falcons are not only treated but also pampered. From trimming their nails to performing bigger operations, the birds are handled with utmost love and care. Additionally, the hospital works towards funding conservation and education about these birds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corniche\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corniche<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A famous hangout spot for beach lovers and locals, Corniche offers picturesque views.\u00a0 You can walk on the beach or bike around using the cycle lanes spread across 8 km.
