Descriptions

The Abu Dhabi City Tour offers a full-day exploration of the UAE’s capital, highlighting its rich history and vibrant modernity. Originally a small settlement, Abu Dhabi has transformed into a bustling metropolis with over 1.5 million residents.

The tour begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or residence. First, you’ll drive past Yas Island, home to the exhilarating Yas Marina F1 Circuit, Ferrari World, and Yas Mall. Consequently, this island serves as a hub for sports, entertainment, and family fun, making it a must-visit destination.

Next, we proceed along Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street to Saadiyat Island, where the Louvre Abu Dhabi awaits. This museum stands as a major cultural landmark, showcasing art from around the world. Therefore, your admission to the Louvre allows you to explore its impressive exhibits.

Following the Louvre visit, our journey continues to Emirates Palace along Corniche Road. This iconic hotel, renowned for its luxury, is famous for its Gold Cappuccino. Thus, you’ll have the opportunity to tour the palace and enjoy this unique beverage—ideal for your Instagram feed!

Afterwards, we cross the street to the 48th floor of Etihad Towers. From here, the observation deck offers breathtaking panoramic views of Abu Dhabi. Additionally, you can enjoy a slice of cake along with a selection of tea or coffee.

Subsequently, we visit Qasr al Watan, a magnificent palace that highlights the UAE’s history and culture. The palace’s library further emphasizes the nation’s dedication to education. However, if Qasr al Watan is hosting a Presidential event, we will instead explore Qasr al Hosn, a historic fortified palace in the city.

As we depart from the Corniche area, we take a scenic drive through Al Bateen, known for its beautiful beach and serene waters. Finally, we conclude the tour with a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a key place of worship and a symbol of Islam’s significance in Emirati society.

In summary, your driver will return you to your hotel or residence, thereby completing the Abu Dhabi City Tour.
