Full description

With its natural islands, premium resorts, cultural attractions, and architectural wonders, Abu Dhabi offers something for every traveler. Brace up to explore the most-iconic attractions of Abu Dhabi on a full-day sightseeing tour from Dubai! Start your day after being picked up from your hotel in Dubai and learn about one of the richest cities in the world as you travel along the Arabian Gulf. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the UAE and the third largest in the world is a place that is closely knit to the culture and religion of the UAE. You will see one-of-a-kind treasures while navigating the marbled halls, such as Swarovski chandeliers, patterned designs, and the largest hand-knotted carpet in the world. For the ladies, your guide will provide a clean, packed Abaya to wear inside the mosque. Plus, your guide will help you snap some awesome photos with the best backgrounds! You’ll have some free time to grab lunch (not included) at the mosque before continuing your tour. Stop by the Louvre Museum on Saadiyat Island for a photo stop. Go for a walk outside the Gulf region’s biggest museum and admire its amazing architecture. A drive along the Abu Dhabi Corniche offers a beautiful view of the Arabian Gulf, its turquoise blue waters, and the skylines. Next, we’ll head to the Etihad Towers, a striking architectural landmark on the Abu Dhabi Corniche, that offers dining, stay, and entertaining options in one location. We’ll go up to the 74th floor where you’ll get to see stunning 360-degree views of the city. You’ll see the Emirates Palace and the beautiful Arabian Gulf from up there. It’s a view that will leave you speechless! Visit Qasr Al Watan, a functioning presidential palace and cultural site in Abu Dhabi, which lets you learn more about the traditions that have defined the history of the UAE. The palace is also an architectural marvel and houses artifacts and treasures. After a full day of fun and sightseeing, enjoy a ride back to your hotel, where we’ll drop you off safely.
