This guided day trip lasts about 5 to 6 hours and starts with pickup from your hotel or chosen location in Dubai. Travel by modern, air-conditioned vehicle to Abu Dhabi, where the first stop is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The drive takes approximately 90 minutes. The mosque is one of the largest in the world and took 11 years to build on over 30 acres. Its exterior is covered in Sivec marble from Greece and Macedonia, and its central dome ranks among the largest mosque domes globally. At the mosque, the guide will show you the intricate interior decorations, including the world’s largest hand-woven carpet, the largest marble mosaic floral design, and the third-largest chandelier, adorned with Swarovski crystals. Arabic calligraphy from the Quran decorates the interiors, and the surrounding reflective pools add to the mosque’s design. Visitors will spend about two hours exploring these features. If you selected the option that includes the Zayed National Museum, the tour proceeds there next for around an hour. The museum displays exhibits on the life of Sheikh Zayed, the UAE’s founding father, and the nation’s history through various galleries and artifacts. After the museum visit or directly after the mosque visit if not selected, the vehicle returns to Dubai, where the tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel or designated location after another 90-minute drive. The tour includes a professional licensed guide, cold mineral water, and hotel pickup and drop-off in central Dubai. A shuttle bus operates from the mosque’s main gate to the entrance. Women must wear long, loose clothing covering arms, legs, and head, and tattoos must be covered during the mosque visit. The itinerary order may vary, and pickup times depend on the selected morning or afternoon tour.
