There were excellent transport arrangements the year before last, but last year the free bus service was stopped which we only found out about a week before the event. The only buses we saw were from the circuit, for which you had to pay and everyone seemed a bit baffled as to where they stopped, so it a bit of a gamble. We ended up getting a bus back to Abu Dhabi on the Saturday as we didn’t want to stay for the concert but luckily for us the first stop was near our hotel and we managed to flag a taxi down straight away. The organisation the year before last was excellent, it all went to pot last year and not sure why. No free buses, taxis only allowed to stop at certain pick up points and then total disorganisation when they were getting taxi ranks organised. The chaos coming out from the Kylie concert was a nightmare, hopefully they will have learnt their lesson and put the free buses back on and/or have better public transport arrangements, eg plenty of buses and information on pick up and drop off points or taxis. The taxis are very cheap compared to the UK, it was just getting one. However, do not be put off, Abu Dhabi is amazing.
