Deaja – United States

It was great. Nice being able to see all the different areas. I would go back to be able to actually tour the Louvre and see what it’s about since it was closed when we went. I had a great experience and our tour guide was great as well

Exaucee – United Kingdom

The whole tour was absolutely amazing! We had the pleasure of being guided by Abdul, who truly made the experience unforgettable. I was genuinely impressed by how knowledgeable he was — every stop came with interesting facts and insights that brought the sights to life. He kept the tour fun and engaging, and even considered our comfort by allowing some nap time during the drives (especially helpful for those of us who had early starts!). Abdul wasn’t just a fantastic guide — he was also an excellent photographer. He knew all the best Instagram-worthy spots and was always ready to snap photos for us. It really felt like he went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Abdul!

Full description

With its natural islands, premium resorts, cultural attractions, and architectural wonders, Abu Dhabi offers something for every traveler. Brace up to explore the most-iconic attractions of Abu Dhabi on a full-day sightseeing tour from Dubai! Start your day after being picked up from your hotel in Dubai and learn about one of the richest cities in the world as you travel along the Arabian Gulf.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the UAE and the third largest in the world is a place that is closely knit to the culture and religion of the UAE. You will see one-of-a-kind treasures while navigating the marbled halls, such as Swarovski chandeliers, patterned designs, and the largest hand-knotted carpet in the world.

For the ladies, your guide will provide a clean, packed Abaya to wear inside the mosque. Plus, your guide will help you snap some awesome photos with the best backgrounds!

You'll have some free time to grab lunch (not included) at the mosque before continuing your tour.

Stop by the Louvre Museum on Saadiyat Island for a photo stop. Go for a walk outside the Gulf region's biggest museum and admire its amazing architecture.

A drive along the Abu Dhabi Corniche offers a beautiful view of the Arabian Gulf, its turquoise blue waters, and the skylines.

Next, we'll head to the Etihad Towers, a striking architectural landmark on the Abu Dhabi Corniche, that offers dining, stay, and entertaining options in one location. We'll go up to the 74th floor where you'll get to see stunning 360-degree views of the city. You'll see the Emirates Palace and the beautiful Arabian Gulf from up there. It's a view that will leave you speechless!

Visit Qasr Al Watan, a functioning presidential palace and cultural site in Abu Dhabi, which lets you learn more about the traditions that have defined the history of the UAE. The palace is also an architectural marvel and houses artifacts and treasures.

After a full day of fun and sightseeing, enjoy a ride back to your hotel, where we’ll drop you off safely.
