Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, April 2020: The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has announced the launch of its new virtual exploration platform, #StayCurious, which will provide audiences worldwide with original education and entertainment content in one comprehensive hub. The platform gives audiences around the world a taste of the emirate’s unique ambience and hospitality through an interactive 360-degree experience that will transport them into a world of sunshine, stunning views, and non-stop entertainment from the comfort of their own homes.
At a time when travel restrictions and lockdowns have hampered travel worldwide, #StayCurious invites explorers across the globe to reconnect with their passion for learning and discovery through five pillars of content, which are set to be complemented with even more experiences in the future:
Stay Adventurous: a hub of virtual tours and experiences that will transport visitors to the heart of Abu Dhabi, enchanting them with the emirate’s stunning views and diverse offerings, and providing them with valuable insights into its history and heritage.
HE Saood Al Hosani, Acting Undersecretary at DCT Abu Dhabi, said: “During these challenging times, DCT Abu Dhabi sought to bring people worldwide together by providing an experience that will not only enrich their lives but also delight and entertain them at the same time. #StayCurious is an opportunity for people to dream, imagine, and fulfil their curiosity and reaffirms our love for exploration and learning more about one another.
“Abu Dhabi has always been known for its unrivalled hospitality. And despite the physical distance between us, we are looking forward to welcoming virtual visitors to the heart of our city and our culture through this innovative experience; and perhaps this will open the door for them to come and experience it in person in the future.”
#StayCurious can be accessed online via [www.staycurious.ae], with more content and interactive hubs set to be added to the platform over the coming weeks.
