Gay Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi City Guide

Before delving into our carefully curated selection of Abu Dhabi’s most sublime accommodations, a few essential notes for our discerning gay travellers. Given the UAE‘s conservative laws regarding homosexuality, we recommend booking twin beds rather than sharing a king, avoiding dating apps entirely, and selecting internationally renowned five-star properties where discretion and sophistication approach standard.

Following our trip in the UAE, we've put together our gay travel mentor to Abu Dhabi including safety tips, best places to stay, things to do and more.

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the second-most populous city in the UAE after Dubai.

Initially, Abu Dhabi began as a magnet for the oil industry, but over the last decade, it has grown massively in popularity as a tourist destination.

Whilst crime is very low in Abu Dhabi and it is a safe destination to visit, for the LGBTQ community, the life is a lot distinct. Homosexuality is illegal here, so just like LGBTQ rights in Dubai, you run the risk of being arrested and/or deported if you get caught being open! Despite this, many LGBTQ expats (who are mainly cabin crew for Etihad) live here without any problems and hold even created their underground gay scene.
