Get your full bang back to spend on food and drink…

Long, luxurious pool days are a capital way to spend your days in Abu Dhabi whatever the weather. But you don’t need to splash the cash to enjoy a day of sun-worshipping this summer.

Dive into three Abu Dhabi pool days that are fully redeemable.
