• Visit to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque: The first major stop of the shore excursion takes you to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the world’s most admired Islamic landmarks. Visitors explore its white marble domes, expansive courtyards, reflective pools, and the craftsmanship that took more than ten years to complete before its public opening in 2007. The visit offers both cultural insight and architectural appreciation.

• Exploring the Heritage Village: The journey continues with a stop at the Heritage Village, an open-air museum offering a glimpse into Abu Dhabi’s traditional way of life. Guests can walk through recreated old houses, Bedouin tents, craft workshops, and displays that compare historic Emirati living with the modern urban lifestyle seen today.

• Photo stop at Abu Dhabi Marina: A short stop at Abu Dhabi Marina provides a scenic moment for photography. The waterfront views highlight the contrast between the tranquil sea and the rising skyline, offering a calm, beautiful setting along the excursion route.

• Visit to Emirates Palace: The shore excursion moves toward Emirates Palace, a landmark known for its grandeur and royal-inspired architecture. Originally designed as a palace and later transformed into one of the world’s most luxurious hotels, it features expansive gardens, opulent halls, and a striking exterior that speaks to the elegance of the city.

• Drive through Yas Island: The tour proceeds to Yas Island, Abu Dhabi’s premier entertainment hub. Visitors pass by major attractions such as Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros World, and Yas Mall. The island reflects the modern, energetic side of Abu Dhabi and adds a dynamic contrast to the cultural stops earlier in the day.

We spent a full day touring Abu Dhabi’s beautiful highlights in the morning, followed by a desert trip in the afternoon and evening.
After a month traveling through France, the UK, and Ireland, we wish we had allowed more time here.
If we return, we would not hesitate to use Abu Dhabi Sightseeing again. Highly recommended.
Thank you Bassem and team.
