Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and its seat of power. On this day trip from Dubai, we'll visit the most spectacular spots in the city. We'll visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the Etihad Towers, and the Royal Palace of Abu Dhabi. You'll also enjoy stopping to take pictures at the Louvre Museum and a scenic tour along the Corniche waterfront.

Abu Dhabi Day Trip

Having picked you up from your hotel in Dubai at the scheduled time, we'll hit the road southwards until we arrive at Abu Dhabi.

Our first stop will be the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, known as the Grand Mosque. Over the course of our tour of this religious building, we'll discover why it's considered one of the most incredible constructions in the world: both the exterior and interior are sure to amaze.

The next stop will be at the Mosque Mall, where you can grab lunch at one of the restaurants or food stalls in the food court. If you have chosen the option with food, you'll enjoy a delicious 4-course menu at the Al Khayma Heritage House restaurant. You can choose from traditional specialities such as lamb, rice, hummus, harees soup, lentil soup, mutabal, charcoal-grilled chicken or vegetable machboos.

Then, we'll visit the Louvre Museum on Saadiyat Island to take pictures. Afterward, for 1.5 hours, we'll visit the dazzling Royal Palace of Abu Dhabi, also known as Qasr Al Watan.

The tour will continue along the Corniche waterfront, where we'll see the Etihad Towers, the filming location of numerous scenes in the seventh Fast and Furious film. We'll go up to the 74th floor to enjoy the views of the city!

We'll be back in Dubai 8 hours after our departure.
