Description

Discover Abu Dhabi in a small group of maximum 12 guests for a more personal and relaxed sightseeing experience. Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, stop at Wahat Al Karama and Emirates Palace for photos, pass Etihad Towers and the Corniche, and explore Heritage Village and the Dates Market. With fewer travelers than a typical large sharing tour, you can enjoy a smoother pace, more individual attention, and a less crowded experience. Convenient hotel and cruise terminal pickup, comfortable air-conditioned transport, and morning or afternoon departure options make this an easy and affordable way to discover Abu Dhabi’s mosque, culture, skyline, and local highlights.
