Quick q re Abu Dhabi airport
I have a 17 hour stop over at Abu Dhabi and don't want to splash out to book hotel accomodation. From what I can see there's a hotel gym that I can pay to use to have a shower and eat up some time, is this the case? And is it a safe place to find a corner and sleep for a few hours? Cheers.

I arrive at midnight! Are there lots of sights near to the airport? It's my first time travelling alone and I'm utterly petrified of getting lost or losing my bags!

Re: Quick q re Abu Dhabi airport
Nothing of interest near the airport.
They have loads of seating, but have never tried sleeping in it, so wouldn't know.
There is a small amount to do in the airport that, i guess, you could stretch to a few hours, but not 17!
I'd suggest you waste a few hours in the airport (perhaps get some sleep), then get a taxi into the city for sunrise (have a walk along the corniche) and find somewhere for some brekkie. There is good shopping in any one of the malls - then back for your flight.
Sorry i can't be of more help, but there really isn't much to do in or around the airport.
