Step by Step

Discover Abu Dhabi on a day trip from Dubai, located some 130 kilometres away by road. An expert guide – whose language you can choose when booking – will show you around and explain the attractions and history of the capital of the United Arab Emirates on a tour lasting around 9 hours. You can book either a small group tour for around 15 people or a private tour, i.e. just for you and your companion or family.

Relax during this excursion, as an air-conditioned vehicle will collect you from your hotel in Dubai and return you to the same point at the end of the activity. What’s more, bottled mineral water will be provided to keep you hydrated during the journey.

In just one day, you’ll be able to discover the beauty of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which you’ve no doubt seen in photographs many times. With its immaculate white architecture, it combines Mamluk, Ottoman and Fatimid styles in the design of its minarets, reflecting the diversity of the Islamic world.

You’ll also have access to Qasr Al Watan Palace. This is a functioning presidential palace in Abu Dhabi that has become a symbol of the city. You’ll visit the interior, which features grand halls and significant artistic treasures, as well as the gardens. Guided tours inside the palace aren’t permitted, so your guide will provide a full explanation before you enter.

You’ll also have the chance to visit the observation deck of the magnificent Etihad Towers. These skyscrapers, which currently house numerous offices of major companies, offer an incredible panoramic view of Abu Dhabi.
