All about the trip
The day will begin with our experienced guide picking you up at your hotel in Dubai. Traveling in comfort and style our vehicles are air-conditioned and have complimentary water. As you leave the city of Dubai, our guide will point out the highlights of the city as it fades into the background.
Once we’ve made our way to the island of Abu Dhabi our first stop is the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque Center. This is the largest mosque in the country created by the beloved late president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Designed with the hopes of uniting the cultural diversity of the Islamic world by combining historical and modern values of architecture. This dazzling complex is absolutely stunning to behold. This site is so beloved by travelers that it has been voted as the world’s second favorite landmark by TripAdvisor.
Next, our stop will be to the Etihad Towers which you can enjoy from a distance or if you prefer you can easily buy tickets for entry. Adjacent from the towers is the opulent Emirates Palace. This modern hotel is known for its lively balance of Islamic architectural elements and modern Emirati culture; truly fit for a Sheikh. Next will be the Corniche where you can walk down the 8 km pedestrian walkway and overlook the Abu Dhabi skyline. We will then make our way to the Louvre Abu Dhabi which has an agreement with the French government to use the Louvre name. In this incredible museum, you will witness the beautiful and well thought out exhibits with the hopes of bridging the gap between Eastern and Western Art. If prefer adrenaline to art, you can tour through the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi theme park. This park is home to the world’s fastest roller-coaster!
Another fascinating part of the tour is the Heritage Village created in 1997 as a place to embrace and display the heritage of the old traditional life in UAE. Here you can be transported back in time by witnessing old customs, handicrafts and past ways of living. Lastly, we will see the Qasr Al Watan (Presidential Palace). This site has recently been open to the public since March 2019. Here you can see where the president resides! This is truly a sight to behold with striking white granite and limestone, this white palace was intricately designed with decadence in mind.
After a full day of sightseeing, you will be taken back to your hotel in Dubai. On this tour, you will witness all that Abu Dhabi has to offer! Join us for an exciting day of extravagance and culture in the United Arab Emirates.
