Day Trip to Abu Dhabi: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Beyond
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is about 90 minutes by road from Dubai, which makes it an easy day trip. The city is known for its grand architecture, museums and beautiful corniche.
The first stop on most tours is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world and a masterpiece of white marble. Entry is free, and visitors are welcome outside prayer times, but modest clothing is required, with shoulders, arms and legs covered. Women are asked to cover their hair.
“Abu Dhabi shows you the calm, cultural side of the UAE.”
What To See In Abu Dhabi
- Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque: Marble courtyards, huge chandeliers and beautiful reflective pools.
- Louvre Abu Dhabi: A striking museum with a dome that creates a “rain of light”.
- Emirates Palace & Corniche: Photo stops and a stroll by the sea.
- Ferrari World: A theme park option for thrill seekers on Yas Island.
Our Abu Dhabi tour includes comfortable transport and a guide. Ask us about adding a desert safari for the evening.
