Breaking Travel News reporter Phil Blizzard continues his tour of Ramadan Tents in the GCC and this time takes at look at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Stretched across 1.3 km of white sandy beach, the Emirates Palace Beach offers several experiences in one visit, including the latest addition - customised spa treatments in your very own beach cabana.

Abu Dhabi has released details of a packed sports calendar over coming months, with a series of top events set to take place in the emirate. Highlights include the return of the ever spectacular F1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and Polo at the Palace, which is set to take place at the stunning Emirates Palace later this year.

Having just been appointed to the position of general manager with the prestigious Kempinski-operated Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, Holger Schroth here sits down with Breaking Travel News to discuss his career to date, the importance of hosting major events, the latest developments at the property, and the role of tourism in the emirate.

Ramadan is fast approaching and a palatial Ramadan pavilion is under construction at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. The custom built pavilion sits on hundreds of square metres, overlooking the beach on one side and stunning façade of the hotel on the other, and will incorporate the existing 12- metre-high palm trees and grand fountain of the palace terrace.

Emirates Palace Hotel has confirmed it will participate at the Gulf Incentive, Business Travel & Meetings Exhibition 2013, which kicks off today. The three-day event, which will be hosted by Abu Dhabi at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, will display the latest hotel services offered by the business tourism sector, conferences and incentives.
