Here are a few things to note in terms of the logistics of moving around Abu Dhabi.
Nirvana will arrange airport transfer for you.
Your accommodations are booked in our on-campus apartments and guest suites. You can check in and get your key at the NYU AD Welcome Center, tagged on the map and located on the right-hand side of main entrance to the university.
All of our meals will be on campus, except for the dinner at the Anwar Gargash Diplomacy Academy. If you want snacks or extra coffee in the morning there are a few additional places on campus for that. For snacks, the Day Mart Convenience Store in C2 and the Saadiyat To Go Supermarket are good options. For coffee, there are two Starbucks on Campus: one located on the third floor of C2 next to the library; a second located in the large dining hall D2. For a place with local coffee and pastries we have Mysk and Blacksmith.
There are ATMs at the airport and on campus.
Hopefully you will have some time to explore more of Abu Dhabi off NYUAD campus. We have created a google map with some suggestions for attractions and food. But here is a quick list of the highlights with more information and location on the map below:
