Benidorm gives me the fear

Iāve been a few times and lived there for a year or two as well so Iām sure I can help. Unsure what you are into but here are some options for you to consider:
- Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque - the architecture is incredible and looks even more stunning in the night once the lights are on.
- Louvre Abu Dhabi - Art and Civilisation museum.
- Saadiyat Public Beach / they also have private beach clubs
- The Corniche Beach and Walk - usually I cycle there at sunset for the city views.
- Mangrove National Park - can do couple of acttvites there like kayaking or paddleboard
- Ferrari World and Yas Waterworld - my favorite. Good set of rides, well worth it.
- You can do day trips from Abu Dhabi to desert for safari experiences.

Iāve only ever done a day trip to Abu Dhabi so Iām probably not best placed to advise. Iāve done Dubai 7 times though so could throw a million things at you

Very nice! Is this this destination you settled on for the stag do, or are you over with the family?
Corfu looks very nice!
Due to the crazy amount of stags and weddings we had last year, we had to postpone our own honeymoon to this year and weāre finally heading off in September for 2.5 weeks.
Weāre going to Hawaii (Maui and Kaui) with a stop in San Diego on the way back for my wifeās friends wedding.
Our British Airways Amex companion vouchers coming in clutch as weāre flying business class return to San Diego from London.
I cannot wait after what has been one of the most difficult and stressful years of my life.

Just bumped into an old mate from uni Iāve not seen in like 15 years in a beachside restaurant in Corfu. Love these āsmall worldā moments when they randomly occur.

Weāre off to Berlin on Monday for a few days, our second trip there. Weāve got a few things planned, last time we did the tourist stuff, this time weāve got a few bars, restaurants and beer gardens in mind.
It looks like itās going to rain on Tuesday so any recommendations for interesting bars (we like beer and cocktails on holiday) would be appreciated. We like dingy places. Shiny, posh bars are not for us.
Not sure that Butlins Skegness for a 90s weekender constitutes a holiday, but that is where Iām off to Next Friday. Has anybody been to one?
Leaving work at 3.45, getting there for just after 7. Have to come back late Sunday or super early on Monday though as need to be back in the classroom at 8.30am. Should be messy.

My friend says that he used to go raves at Butlins back in the day and that theyāre actually pretty good fun haha
Apparently theyāve realised thereās a market to cornered with millennials and Gen Xāers who still want to get their rave on, but want to stay close by in a real bedroom lol
You get to watch Chesney Hawkes!
Iāve heard those adult weekends are quite fun, especially if youāre single
