Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi: City Tour from Dubai

Your first stop in Abu Dhabi is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a true work of art that brings you closer to Islamic architecture. As the largest mosque in the world, this architectural wonder can accommodate 40,000 worshippers at the same time. As you enter the mosque, your guide will explain its characteristics, including the world's largest hand-knotted carpet and 82 domes.

Enjoy a walk around the mosque and succumb to its charm before heading to the Abu Dhabi Corniche. On the way you will pass Al Bateen Palace and Emirates Palace. Stroll along the promenade and enjoy the cool breeze. Then admire Heritage Village, a replica of an emirate village showing the Bedouin way of life and heritage. This cultural centre has tents made of stone and also shows various artefacts that show you the skills of Arab artists and craftsmen.

After getting acquainted with the rich past of the UAE, visit a fruit and date market. From here you drive for a photo stop to Yas Island, where you admire the Ferrari World.

This tour is not suitable for people with walking disabilities. When visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, men should wear trousers. Traditional local clothing (abaya) is provided for women.

You'll be picked up from your hotel in central Dubai.
