Suggest you take the Eithad / Emirates route map out first and have a look then start planning

I used to live in AbuDhabi 30 years ago. A nice road trip is via Al Ain to fujairah, on to Khor Fakhan, into the mountains of Oman. We used to hire a dhow. Mind you in my day, the Fujairah hilton was a tin shed.....Oman is fascinating

Cyprus is the very good for all you are looking for hire a car and travel inland for the culture the beaches for the craic you would have a great time there

Sri Lanka. Some nice beaches and culture if you travel into the island. Direct flights from Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Cheaper as well to avoid family and friends

Mojacar for Me

With a week, you can do a a lot in Sri Lanka,
Day 1 Arrive Columbo, travel to Kandy with a stop in Pinnawalla Elephant Orphanage on route.
Day 2 Take in sights of Kandy.
Day 3 travel from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya by train.
Day 4 Nuwara Eliya to Ella.
Day 5 Ella - Unawatuna.
Day 6 Check out Unawatuna and Galle and get back to the airport for flight. This is a fab 7 day tour and with a drver which is inexpensive for the week you can see the best of Sri Lanka. PM me for details of how to do it if you are interested.
