Make the most of the weather before summer arrives with this mega list of fun-filled activities

ON YOUR BIKE

Abu Dhabi is steadily developing its cycling network and there are no signs of this new-found fascination fading any day soon.

Al Hudayriyat Leisure and Entertainment District

Arguably, this is one of the top places in the city for cycling. You can choose between the 5km and 10km tracks, depending on how much your legs can manage. The surroundings will probably take your mind off any saddle soreness. Top tip – try taking in a sunset spin; you won’t regret it. For more information, visit hudayriyatisland.ae

The Corniche

It’ll only take an hour to spin from one end of the Corniche to the other, and back again. Don’t fret – there are plenty of distractions and cafes along the way to coax you off the cogs. You won’t be alone either – there is space dedicated for walkers and runners too. Bike rental stations can be found in several locations along the Corniche boardwalk.

Yas Marina Circuit

On Sundays and Tuesdays, 6pm to 10pm, you can test your mettle on a world famous race track. Impressively, it’s free to enter; just make sure that you register first with Train YAS. For more information, visit, yasmarinacircuit.com

Al Wathba

A more remote choice, but what a choice all the same – flanked on all sides by desert. For the real enthusiasts, there are loops from 8km all the way up to 30km. Located near the camel race track, and open 11am to 11pm, this is definitely one of the most memorable cycling spots in the entire UAE.
