your experience
Explore the great capital of the UAE on a day tour with a professional guide. Visit two of the city's key landmarks- the Qasr Al Watan and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Qasr Al Watan is an active Royal Palace designated for meetings of the highest order of government and also for visiting foreign delegations. The palace and its surrounding façade are drop-dead gorgeous with breathtaking architecture that is artistically combined with the most expensive materials to create a truly Royal palace – one that you can and will visit on this tour.
The Sheikh Zayed Mosque, also known as the Grand Mosque is an equally impressive work of architecture that fuses the traditional Arabic & Islamic culture with a more contemporary architectural style that has produced something truly memorable and symbolic. Inside the mosque, you will find grandiose halls, gold calligraphy, and majestic carpets.
Besides these two highlights, you will also pass through Abu Dhabi corniche, Saadiyat Island and make a stop at a local date market for some tasty treats. Optionally, you can also enjoy lunch at a 5-star hotel in Abu Dhabi for the perfect complement to your day spent touring.
