Transportation

Public buses are useful for budget travelers and residents, but visitors should check routes carefully before relying on them for a packed sightseeing day. The free Visit Abu Dhabi Shuttle can be useful when you have a qualifying hotel booking or attraction ticket and your route fits the official stops.

Driving is practical for families, business travelers and anyone adding Al Ain, Al Wathba or the desert to the trip. Parking is usually more manageable than in many global capitals, but paid parking, hotel valet rules and event traffic around Yas should still be planned ahead.
