When visiting Abu Dhabi, a must-see is the Emirates Palace hotel (emiratespalace.com).

There is no cost for entry to the seven-star Emirates Palace hotel. Once inside you can gape in awe at the heavily gilded interior before having a lovely and very reasonably priced afternoon tea, with delicate sandwiches, small savouries and cakes.

If requested beforehand, it is often possible to have a guided tour of the Emirates Palace hotel.
