Overview

This six-hour tour in Abu Dhabi begins with pickup from the hotel or a selected location in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle with a professional licensed guide. The first stop is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where visitors spend about an hour and a half exploring its Islamic architecture. Women are provided with an abaya and scarf for the mosque visit, which must be returned afterward. Men and women must follow the dress code: women cover arms, legs, and head; men cover shoulders and knees. Tattoos must be covered during the mosque visit. After the mosque, the tour drives along the Abu Dhabi Corniche, offering views of the waterfront and approaching landmarks. There is a photo stop with views of Emirates Palace and the Etihad Towers. The group then visits the Etihad Towers for 30 minutes. Next, the tour continues to Qasr Al Watan, the Royal Palace within the presidential compound, where visitors spend about 90 minutes. A shuttle bus runs from the palace main gate to the entrance. Inside the palace, guided tours are not allowed, but the guide provides commentary before the visit. The palace visit includes access to the palace, garden, and other public areas. Cold mineral water is provided during the tour. Pickup and drop-off at the selected location or hotel in Abu Dhabi are included. Lunch is not included. The tour duration is fixed, but drop-off times may vary due to traffic.
