Can I leave Abu Dhabi airport while on a transit?
I am traveling from Pakistan to Bangkok on Etihad Airways. I have a transit at Abu Dhabi of 12 hours. Can I go out of the airport to spend the time in Abu Dhabi? I am holding a Pakistani passport. It will be my first trip so, I am not sure what are the rules and regulation.
