  Hawksbills come ashore on the Saadiyat and outer-island beaches through spring, and the hotels there rope off the nests and run guided walks rather than let people find them alone. Fuente ↗

  Corniche life, the desert camps and the open-air festival grounds all stop; what is left is Louvre Abu Dhabi, the malls and the indoor parks on Yas. Hotel rates fall to their annual floor, which is the one argument for it.
