Step by Step

If you want to discover the most important sights of Abu Dhabi in just one day, this is the tour for you. An air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up from your hotel in Dubai and take you back at the end of the tour. In a group of about 17 people, a professional guide will tell you the history of the three sites you will visit during the tour, which lasts about 10 hours:

  • Sheikh Zayed Mosque: one of the largest mosques in the world.
  • Qasr al Watan Palace: the incredible presidential palace of the Emirates.
  • Etihad Towers - a skyscraper complex in the heart of Abu Dhabi

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is one of the largest mosques in the world. With its 107-metre-high minarets and impressive architectural style, it is one of the most beautiful and most visited temples in the world. But access is only available in the morning, from Sunday to Thursday. Also, women must be covered, including their heads, and men must wear long trousers. If these conditions are not met, access will be forbidden .

Al-Qasr al-Watan is not open to guided tours. Therefore, the guide will remain outside, where he will tell you all about the history of the impressive building. You can enter on your own to see the 37-metre diameter dome and a chandelier with 350,000 pieces of glass from the inside.

You'll also have the opportunity to visit the Etihad Towers, a complex of five skyscrapers that stand out in the Emirati capital and were used as a filming location for the 2015 movie Full Throttle 7. There are now offices and hotels inside.

    If you go to Abu Dhabi you should definitely check out the Marina Mall. There is also one in Dubai so it's great to know the differences between the two. It's very close to the Emirates Palace and there are lots of shops.

    The places we visited were very peaceful. I had never seen anything like it before. We enjoyed it all the time.

    The first time I wanted to visit the Qasr Al Watan was a total failure. We went by bus on our own, we couldn't even get in because we ran out of tickets and it was about to close. We had hoped to see at least something on the outside but you needed a ticket to the palace to see it all, so this option is great. The price is good because there are also other activities on offer. Plus, you have the help of the guide during the tour. It's not crowded so you can enjoy every detail.

    This is a tour you must do if you are in Dubai. You won't regret it. While Dubai is full of activities of all kinds, here you can feel more relaxed, hand in hand with luxury and culture.
