Our Tour to the Capital Abu Dhabi Emirates will take us to explore the main sites and areas of the city such as :
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque: As one of the world's largest mosques, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is an example of architectural styles from different Muslim civilizations and it is a place of worship and cultural diversity. Initiated by the late president H.E. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan AL Nahyan, the founder of the UAE, the Mosque features 82 domes, more than 1000 columns, 24-carat gold gilded chandeliers and the world's largest hand-knotted carpet.
Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi Hotel: Photo stop to this iconic hotel of Abu Dhabi with its charmful mix of Islamic & contemporary design.
Stop at Abu Dhabi Corniche & Breakwater: Quick stop for fresh air and probably some photos at the corniche and the Breakwater of Abu Dhabi.
Heritage Village Abu Dhabi: Travel back in time to experience what life was like in the past in the UAE. Resembling a traditional oasis village, visitors can enjoy seeing local artifacts being made - from pottery to glass-blowing and weaving. The traditional Souk (market) resembles a bustling trading hub of days past and offers a great opportunity to take home locally-made souvenirs.
Lunch in Vendome Restaurant at Emirates Palace including the available beverage on the buffet.
Al Hosn Palace: Previously the home of the ruling family, Al Hosn Palace is a national archive and a memorial to Abu Dhabi's history. It was built as a commanding structure, overlooking coastal trade routes and today is a beautiful museum housed in a picturesque building for all visitors to enjoy.
