The experience

Explore Abu Dhabi's fascinating past, present, and future with a memorable tour

Take a day trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi's top sights. Visit the Grand Mosque, Etihad Towers, Qasr Al Watan, and drive along the Corniche.

Get picked up from your Dubai hotel to start your day. On the way, your guide will tell you about this rich city by the Persian Gulf.

The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a vital part of the UAE's culture and religion. As you walk through its marble halls, see Swarovski chandeliers, intricate designs, and the world's largest hand-knotted carpet.

Driving along the Abu Dhabi Corniche shows you the blue Persian Gulf and the city skyline. The Etihad Towers on the Corniche have restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues.

From here, see the Emirates Palace and the city panorama. Explore Qasr Al Watan, a working presidential palace and cultural site. At this architectural wonder, you can learn how tradition shaped the UAE's history. Once your sightseeing day ends, take a comfortable ride back to your hotel.
