Abu Dhabi visitors will be offered free transport, discount dining and a tourist SIM card when visiting the city thanks to a partnership between the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) and Etihad Airways.
Etihad passengers will receive an email with a link to access the Abu Dhabi Pass through a dedicated website, with no additional cost or app download required.
The free Abu Dhabi Pass perks include a tourist SIM card with 10GB data to stay connected, unlimited access to public buses, and 24-hour unlimited access to the hop-on-hop-off tourist bus network exploring key city attractions.
Abdulla Yousuf, director of international operations at DCT Abu Dhabi, said, “Through this partnership, we aim to introduce Abu Dhabi as a top global destination to a wider audience, making it easier for our travel and tourism stakeholders to showcase the very best the emirate has to offer.”
When booking through etihad.com, visitors choosing to stop over in Abu Dhabi can also benefit from a complimentary hotel stay of up to two nights.
Pass holders also enjoy discounts of 15% at Abu Dhabi’s cultural venues including Qasr Al Watan and Louvre Abu Dhabi, and special rates at Yas Island’s entertainment destinations. These include Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld Yas Island and Yas Waterworld.
The pass also provides access to deals at more than 200 restaurants across the emirate and savings on experiences such as desert safaris and guided city tours.
