On 13/01, the flight leaves Berlin at 15:25, stops for 1h10 in Istanbul and lands in Abu Dhabi at 02:50 the next morning. The return stops for about 2 hours in Istanbul: it leaves Abu Dhabi at 03:55 and lands in Berlin before 11:00 the same morning. The Light fare includes a small under-seat bag only, so add a cabin bag or a checked bag when you book if you need one.
💰 How far does your money go?
A Späti beer and a Döner in Berlin now cost about €11 together. In Abu Dhabi, a chicken shawarma from a cafeteria costs about €3 and a cup of karak tea €0.50. A meal at a regular restaurant is around €12, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi charges about €15 for entry.
☀️ The Weather
January is high season in Abu Dhabi for a reason. Expect sunny days of 24°C, cool evenings of about 15°C and almost no rain. The sea is around 22°C, so beach days are still on, and the desert is pleasant enough for a full afternoon in the dunes.

Stay on the Corniche for the beach, or on Saadiyat Island for the museums.
