Abu Dhabi’s newly-launched Jalboot ferry – the emirate’s only scheduled passenger service covering 100km of scenic waterway around Abu Dhabi –has won a warm reception from residents and tourists alike. Currently running daily from 2pm until 9.30pm, the service, which calls at four destinations – Abu Dhabi Mall, Yas Marina, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr and Etihad Towers –is being taken up by residents as an alternative to road transport while visitors are using it to get a waterborne perspective of the capital and to reach individual tourist destinations with ease. The ferries accommodate up to 40 seated passengers and three crew members, are fully enclosed and air-conditioned with windows for passengers to take in the views.
