What kind of training is available for Australian agents wanting to sell Abu Dhabi, and how can they sign up?
Later this year we will be launching a training portal tailored to the Australian market, we will advertise and promote to the trade as soon as this is available.
Any recommendations for first time travellers?
Definitely a must see is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Falcon Hospital and a trip to the Liwa Desert. For the adventure seekers, Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, sand skiing and dune safaris are must do’s. For a spot of luxury, visit Emirates Palace where you can sip on a cappuccino sprinkled with gold flakes or withdraw gold bars from the ATM located in the lobby.
What makes Abu Dhabi a unique destination?
Abu Dhabi is a truly surprising destination, from its captivating culture and affordable luxury, to its beautiful beaches and exhilarating adventure. With experiences such as a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, or High Tea at the Emirates Palace with gold flakes dusted on your cappuccino, or riding the world’s fastest rollercoaster at Ferrari World, the world’s largest indoor theme park, it’s no wonder Abu Dhabi is fast becoming a must visit destination. And with the Louvre Abu Dhabi opening at the end of the year and the Guggenheim Museum soon after, it’s only going to get better. And finally, how can agents join a famil to Abu Dhabi? Our famils are generally based on Abu Dhabi and Etihad Airways sales, so if you are a strong supporter of each brands this will get you a couple steps closer.
