Tours by Locals in United Arab Emirates in 2026: The Best Sightseeing

21 experiences
The UAE's sightseeing is anchored by two institutions of international standing. The Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab world, holds a collection organised by theme across civilisations and centuries — producing unexpected juxtapositions and genuine curatorial argument. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, with its hand-knotted carpet of 60,000 square feet and its pietra dura marble work, is Islamic decorative art at contemporary monumental scale. Dubai's pre-oil merchant city and Sharjah's Heritage Area and Islamic Art Museum provide the historical counter-narrative. The Hajar Mountain hiking terrain and the desert dune landscapes extend the sightseeing into natural registers. That's where the magic happens.
