Full description

A full day in the UAE capital, starting with pickup from your Dubai hotel and a drive of around ninety minutes down the coast. The centrepiece is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, where you go inside: 82 domes of white marble, reflective pools the length of the courtyard, chandeliers set with Swarovski crystal and one of the largest hand-knotted carpets in the world. The tour continues to Yas Island for a photo stop at Ferrari World, and takes in the Corniche and Breakwater, a drive past Emirates Palace and Qasr Al Watan, the Iranian dates and vegetable market, and Heritage Village, a reconstructed oasis settlement facing the skyline. There is also a visit to the BAPS Hindu Mandir, which is closed on Mondays. The lunch stop is at Marina Mall and lunch is at your own cost. Modest dress is required at the mosque - for women, loose clothing to the ankles, sleeves to the wrists and hair fully covered; for men, long trousers and no sleeveless, tight or see-through tops.

Itinerary

Hotel pickup in Dubai and the drive to Abu Dhabi. You are collected from your Dubai hotel in the morning and head south along the coast road towards the capital. The drive takes around ninety minutes, with your guide setting out the history of the Emirates and what the day covers. Transfers are shared, so pickup times are confirmed the day before.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The main stop of the day. The mosque holds tens of thousands of worshippers beneath 82 domes of white marble, with reflective pools running the length of the courtyard, chandeliers set with Swarovski crystal and one of the largest hand-knotted carpets in the world. Modest dress is required: for women, loose clothing to the ankles, sleeves to the wrists and hair fully covered; for men, long trousers and no sleeveless, tight or see-through tops.

Yas Island, the Corniche and Heritage Village. The afternoon covers the rest of the capital: a photo stop at Yas Island for Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Circuit, a drive along the Corniche waterfront, and Heritage Village, a reconstructed oasis settlement facing the skyline that shows how Abu Dhabi lived before the oil era. Free time is given before the return drive to Dubai.

Important information

Meeting point

Don’t forget

Dress code at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is strictly enforced and visitors are turned away at the entrance: long, loose clothing covering shoulders, arms and ankles for everyone, and a headscarf for women - bring your own scarf rather than relying on availability at the door. No shorts, no tight or sheer fabrics. Shoes are removed before entering the prayer halls. The BAPS Hindu Mandir stop is closed on Mondays, so avoid a Monday departure if that stop matters to you. Lunch is at Marina Mall and is at your own cost. This is a nine-hour day with around three hours of driving in total, so it suits travellers happy with a long schedule. Bring water, sunglasses and a hat; several stops are outdoors. Pickup is a timed window from your Dubai hotel - be ready in the lobby from the start of it.

Free cancellation if cancelled more than 24 hours before start. 100% charge if cancelled within 24 hours of start.
