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.

    Our guide, Noor, he is very knowledgeable, not just to the places we visit but also local culture generally. He is also a fantastic photographer, he is so patient and help our group to take lots of Instagram-able photos. Noor also drives very safely, if you have ever been to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you will understand this is a very important part. We highly recommend this tour, there is no force souvenir shops shopping. Noor is very attentive and we all had a great time with him.

    We did not have a good start to this tour as our guide tried to leave with out us. However the company dealt with our complaint exceptionally well. Once the tour got underway in Abu Dubi it was excellent. I would recommend this tour with this company maybe with a different guide.
