The story

The Big Bus is the open-top double-decker that loops the sights of Abu Dhabi with a recorded commentary, and the 24-hour Discover pass lets you get on and off as you like for a day. By the operator's own pages the Red Route has 13 stops through the heart of the city, taking in the Presidential Palace, the Corniche, Qasr Al Hosn, the World Trade Center and the Heritage Village, with Marina Mall and the Louvre Abu Dhabi among the places it mentions; the Green Route is a two-stop shuttle from Abu Dhabi Mall to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and back, included in the pass.

What it feels like: the city from the top deck with the wind in your face and a voice in your ear telling you what the buildings are. It is the easiest way to see how Abu Dhabi fits together on a first day: the long curve of the Corniche, the towers, the mosque out on its own. The honest caveat is the sun; the top deck is glorious from November to March and a test of endurance at noon in summer, when the lower deck and the air-conditioning win. The buses run on a timetable, so a hop-off is a commitment to the next bus.

Who this suits, and why: active seniors and the multigenerational group, because it replaces a day of taxis and walking with a seat; the school-holiday family on their first day, since children like the top deck and the mosque shuttle removes the hardest logistics; and couples who want an overview before choosing what to go back to. Friends groups and teenagers usually prefer a Yellow Boats hour and a taxi.
