Incredible things to do in Abu Dhabi at night

Abu Dhabi is pretty special during the day, but at night it is truly something else. After dark the capital seems to take on a new look, new personality and a new vibe. Looking for things to do in Abu Dhabi at night? Whether you're looking to fly solo, rally the troops, get the best deals or just feel the need for some banging new content for your social media channels, Abu Dhabi has an event to serve your needs. Summer is here, but that doesn't mean you're stuck at home. From stargazing in the desert to drinks deals, kayaking tours to evening meals, we've rounded up the very best things to do at night in the capital. Things to do with mates Have fun at Central With delicious burgers and shakes, cool arcade games and a bowling alley, you can be assured of hours of fun at this popular spot in Yas Bay. It's an easy-on-the-pocket outing too: arcade games are half-price Monday to Thursday, from 4pm to 7pm. Prices vary. Open Mon-Thu 4pm-midnight; Fri-Sat noon-2am; Sun noon-midnight. Yas Bay Waterfront, Keep cool in the pool with a night swim Credit: Ilios Credit: Cafe Del Mar As the temperature rises, one of the best things to do is head to one of Abu Dhabi's beach clubs. Many pools around the capital are temperature-controlled to keep you cool and you can enjoy great day offers. To make your experience even cooler, head for a night swim to see the sunset or even after the sun goes down. ILIOS in Surf Abu Dhabi has launched 'Because It's Her' ladies' day, running from 4pm to 7pm every Friday, where you can get free-flowing drinks for Dhs145 or go for the soft package at Dhs125.

Have a dinner and a stroll at Mamsha All of Abu Dhabi might be flocking to Mamsha to have a day in the sun at Mamsha Beach, but you don't need to leave once the sun goes down. Mamsha is also a brilliant spot to hang out at night in Abu Dhabi. Head there for dinner at one of the many gorgeous restaurants at Mamsha or go for a late coffee and a stroll.

Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Al Maryah Island (02 813 5550). Go stargazing in the desert A quiet and open spot (away from night pollution) is always a good bet for stargazing. Only around 90 minutes from Abu Dhabi towards Al Ain is the Al Quaa Milky Way Spot but you'll need a 4×4 to get there and be apt at desert driving. It has its own location tag on Google Maps (23.604633, 54.750256) and is one place where you are sure to see something mesmerising in the sky. Free. Open 2477. Abu Dhabi.

As it's open until 8pm, later arrivals will have a chance to take in Yas in all its luminous glory. This is one of the scariest things to do at night. Dhs125. Reopening later this year. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Island, (02 496 8000). Watch the sunset at The Founder's Memorial Watching that glowing globe departing for the day anywhere in this great city is special, but there is something a bit magical about the sun going down at The Founder's Memorial. As night descends on the city, The Constellation, the artistic memorial to the late Sheikh Zayed, lights up. Standing 30m tall and using 1,327 geometric shapes, the installation projects a portrait of Sheikh Zayed out into the night and it's brilliant to watch. Get the phones ready. Free entry. Open daily 9am-10pm. Corniche West, Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Credit: Adobe Express Arguably Abu Dhabi's most iconic structure, this magnificent mosque ranks with the most popular attractions throughout the world for its size, beauty, and architectural brilliance.

Grab a Karak at Shay Madhboot One of the most popular activities for the locals is going for a cup of karak in the evening. This sweet, creamy tea is packed with cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and saffron among others. It is bursting with flavour and arguably one of the best exponents of the cuppa is Shay Madhboot. Try its famed signature karak, which will never do any damage to the wallet as it comes in at a mere Dhs5. Now that's a tiny price to pay for such a relaxing evening. Dhs5. Open daily 8am-7pm. Near Royal Thai Embassy, Muroor Road, Dihan St (02 621 7323). Have lift-off at Bounce What goes up must come down… and then up again? At the freestyle playground known as Bounce, there are about 3,000 square metres of indoor trampolines and other bits of kit to let loose on. It's mental. It's mayhem. But most importantly of all, it is a lot of fun for both kids and adults alike. From Dhs85 (one-hour, standard). Open Sun-Thu noon-midnight; Fri-Sat 10am-midnight. Marina Mall, Al Kasir, (04 304 9333). Strike it lucky at Khalifa International Bowling Centre Throwing a heavy ball down a waxed lane in the hope it smashes into ten static pins. It's quite therapeutic. And for those who agree (which is obvs everyone), Khalifa International Bowling Centre in Zayed Sports City is a top spot to see if the perfect 300 can be achieved. With 40 public bowling lanes, it is the biggest alley in the capital and with a cost of Dhs20 per game, you would be hard pressed to find a better value for money evening for the whole gang in the city. The losers have to pay anyway. Read the rules, people. From Dhs25. Open daily noon-midnight. Zayed Sports City, (02 403 4200). Iris Ladies' night is an obvious choice of the best things to do in Abu Dhabi at night (if you're a woman, that is) and Iris on Yas Island is serving up an unforgettable Abu Dhabi ladies' night.

The Abu Dhabi flying taxis have started testing in the UAE

It's time to get excited – Abu Dhabi flying taxis are coming in faster than you can say 'takeoff'. Just a few weeks ago, the Abu Dhabi Aviation Group announced a strategic collaboration with Archer to deploy its first eVTOL aircraft, Midnight, from Abu Dhabi. And now? Tests in the UAE have officially begun… The Abu Dhabi flying taxis have flown in Abu Dhabi Archer, the company responsible for the Abu Dhabi flying taxis, have announced that they have had their first test flight in Abu Dhabi. Before flying in the UAE, the aircraft was successfully tested in California – and you can actually see the whole video on YouTube. So when will the Abu Dhabi flying taxis be operational? Test flights of Midnight have begun. These will check the impact of the UAE's extreme summer temperatures on the aircraft and within the cabin before the flying taxi services officially launch. The Archer team have also scoped out potential routes in Abu Dhabi. Talib Alhinai, UAE general manager at Archer, told Time Out Abu Dhabi: ''We flew over Abu Dhabi for a route assessment for Archer's upcoming electric air taxi service launch in Abu Dhabi. We were focused on understanding the real customer experience. What would these routes look like? How would travellers see our city from this new perspective? The views are incredible. You're not just travelling, you're getting a completely new way of seeing Abu Dhabi.' Check out the amazing views below in footage supplied by Archer – they weren't wrong… Previously, Archer Aviation's chief commercial officer Nikhil Goel told Forbes: 'There are hundreds of cities that want air taxis. Abu Dhabi will be first, and that will be a lighthouse to the world to say, these air taxis are safe. From there, I hope that we can build the centre of the Middle East here and from that, you've got other countries across the Gulf Cooperation Council.' How will the Abu Dhabi flying taxis work? Archer's Midnight eVTOL aircraft will be able to carry up to four passengers, plus a pilot, at speeds of up to 241 km/h. For instance, you'll be able to get from Abu Dhabi International Airport to Emirates Palace in just 5 to 8 minutes – an upgrade from the typical 45-minute car ride. They're also fully electric and can operate back-to-back flights with minimal charge time in between. Credit: Archer How much will a flying taxi journey cost? While nothing is confirmed yet, Archer's CCO Nikhil Goel revealed potential prices in an interview with The National, saying it will be priced 'similarly to an Uber Black or a premium town car'. Inner city flights in Abu Dhabi : Dhs300 – Dhs350. : Dhs300 – Dhs350. Abu Dhabi and Dubai: Dhs800 – Dhs1,500. 'And then over time when we make our operations more efficient, our goal is to be comparable to the price of a taxi or an Uber', Nikhil Goel added. We're keeping a close eye on all the Abu Dhabi flying taxi updates, so stay tuned. Living in the UAE When is the next public holiday? Here's when you'll have your next day off 5 unexpected Emirates ID perks you should seriously be using And yes, they all make our lives a little bit easier 12 brilliant day trips from Abu Dhabi for when you need to escape the city And some of them are free
