Overview

The tour begins with a hotel pickup in Dubai between 8:00 AM and 8:45 AM (1:00 PM to 1:45 PM on Fridays). Travelers then travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Abu Dhabi for a full-day excursion lasting about nine hours, including transport. The first stop is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where visitors spend approximately one hour exploring this large mosque that covers around 30 acres and accommodates thousands of worshipers. The mosque’s exterior features white Greek and Macedonian tiles, and inside, the main dome is one of the world’s largest mosque domes. Visitors can see the world’s largest hand-woven carpet, large crystal chandeliers, floral artworks, and glass panels with thousands of Swarovski crystals. Photography is allowed outside and inside the mosque. Next, the group travels to the Louvre Abu Dhabi for about two hours. The driver assists with entry tickets, but guiding inside the museum is not included. The museum's silvery dome lets sunlight filter through a pattern resembling interwoven palm leaves. Exhibits are arranged chronologically, showing artifacts from ancient times to today, including pieces from French museums such as the Louvre, Center Georges Pompidou, Palace of Versailles, and Musée d’Orsay. The museum also includes a Children’s Museum, rotating exhibitions, a café, restaurant, and boutique. During the day, there are short photo stops at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Etihad Towers, and the Corniche, each lasting about ten minutes. After completing the itinerary, the group returns to the hotel or selected location in Dubai. The guide speaks English and holds a professional license. Cold mineral water is provided during the tour. The group is limited to 15 people. The tour includes pickup and drop-off, entrance tickets to the mosque and museum, and transport in a clean, modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Visitors must follow dress codes for the mosque: women must wear long, loose clothing covering arms, legs, and head with no transparent fabric; men must cover shoulders and knees. Tattoos must be covered. The Louvre Museum does not allow customers with diabetic devices. The itinerary order may change. The tour duration counts transport time.
