Itinerary

90 min

The sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the largest mosque in the UAE and one of the world’s largest mosques and a massive architectural work of art that intentionally blends different Islamic architectural schools. It features 82 domes, more than 1,000 columns, 24-carat-gold gilded chandeliers and the world’s largest hand-knotted carpet. During Eid, it may be visited by more than 41,000.

30 min

Heritage Village is a replica of Abu Dhabi’s traditional past can seem a bit like an overblown souvenir shop. It does, however, offer one of the few glimpses into the emirate’s old way of life—a vision increasingly difficult to conjure amidst the skyscrapers that now dominate the city. Built in the style of a traditional oasis village, it's kitted out with goat-hair tents, traditional irrigation systems and craftsmen weaving by hand—just like the pre-oil days.

15 min

Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi: The architecture of the palace is stunning and very luxurious. It uses the high end material in finishing the palaces interior such a perfect chance to enjoy a palace free of charge. There will be a short stop for photos.

Only thing I wish is little bit more time at the heritage village, it felt bit short.

This was my first time in Abu Dhabi and tour made it super easy. I didn't have to think about taxis or directions. The guide took pictures for us like he was a professional. Loved the quick stops. Good tour for short time.

If you're rolling with your crew...

The pickup situation was smooth. We literally just stepped out of the hotel and into ride, which by the way, was super comfy and had ice colde AC. We spent zero brainpower figuring stuff out, which exactly what you want on vacation, right? I'm not going to write about each stop we had, because we love all of them, I'll definitely recommend.

Good introduction to Abu Dhabi City Crntre

We were picked up from our hotel by Munees, He was a pleasure to have as our driver and was extremely friendly and pointed out the city landmarks as we drove around. We went into the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Munees actually had robes to cover our arms and legs so that we didn’t have to buy them. We also saw the Emirates Palace, the Heritage Village and the Dates market. A really good first introduction tour to Abu Dhabi City and would recommend Munees as your friendly driver/guide.

Great Half-Day Escape in Abu Dhabi

Had a few hours free in Abu Dhabi and took the half-day city tour with pickup and drop-off—it was a smart move. The transport was smooth and comfortable, the guide knew his stuff and pointed out the key sights without any stress. For the price we paid, the service felt really fair and I walked away feeling like I’d seen so much in little time.

Nice Tour | Exceptional Driver and Tour Guide

Shakeer our driver and guide made the experience great. He was punctual and always accommodating any extra time we needed. What I would want the readers to know is that this turned out to be a Private Tour with the driver just for us on this tour. That made it special. While you may not be able to choose which driver you get, if you can, ask for Shakeer.
