Cost Insights
Abu Dhabi is a premium destination, with polished infrastructure and luxury pricing to match. Hotel rates typically range from $120–250 USD per night, though deals exist in off-peak months. Dining spans from $10 local shawarma joints to $100+ fine dining. Transport is affordable via taxis or buses, but distances add up. Many attractions like mosques and beaches are free or low-cost, but overall, Abu Dhabi leans expensive. Budget travelers can manage with careful planning, but this is a high-quality, high-cost city on the HYROX calendar.
