Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is where national decisions are made and where sheikhs and billionaires call home — yet its skyline of glass and steel stands beside centuries-old Islamic tradition.

From the hushed marble courtyards of a grand mosque to the buzz of a waterfront promenade, this is a day that reveals two faces of the Emirati capital — its spiritual heart and its bold ambition.

What awaits you

  • Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque: one of the world's most stunning mosques — white marble, intricate mosaics and a serene spiritual atmosphere.
  • Abu Dhabi Corniche: panoramic views of the city and its skyline — a perfect photo spot with the bay as a backdrop.
  • Lunch at an Arabic restaurant: traditional Emirati cuisine in an authentic setting.
  • Louvre Abu Dhabi or Qasr Al Watan (depending on the programme): world-class art collections, or the Presidential Palace's grand ceremonial halls.
  • Date Market: taste and buy the country's finest dates.

Perfect for

  • First-time visitors: the capital's main landmarks covered in a single day.
  • Families: a comfortable, guided tour with lunch included on sharing-basis trips.
  • Culture and architecture lovers: a grand mosque, a world-class museum and a presidential palace in one itinerary.
