Al Hudayriat Island Beach - Abu Dhabi, UAE

Cycle over the bridge and on to the island

Almost the size of Abu Dhabi's main island in length, there are grand designs to one day make it a leisure and entertainment destination. There aren't that many places to safely cycle within the city, and enthusiasts often head to Yas Island in the evenings.

But the new bridge has a dedicated cycle lane and riders can head around some of the island at present.

Loops of running and cycling tracks‎ are open, and 5km and 10km tracks are planned.

Other athletic attractions include five football fields, four basketball courts, four volleyball and four beach football courts.
