Hospitality, Abu Dhabi

Travelers visiting Abu Dhabi will always be amazed with the warm welcome they receive everywhere they go. Hospitality is the main aspect of UAE people traditions and values. It is reflected in the authentic warmth and kindliness that visitors find.

Hospitality is deep rooted in the people’s culture and history. It first started as one of the age-old Arabian customs, and has grown now into a social intrinsic value.

The "Majlis" or the reception room in the Emirati house is always prepared to receive and welcome guests with the incense of Oud, dates, Fuwala (nuts, sweets and fruits), and the Arabic coffee that is usually served to guests with the addition of special ingredients including cardamom, saffron and rose water, all indicators of generosity and hospitality.

Hospitality is today reflected in all Abu Dhabi life aspects, it is the foundation upon which the destination image has been built.
