Abu Dhabi day trip from Dubai
Overview
Spend a day in the UAE's capital, calmer and greener than Dubai and home to one of the world's most striking mosques.
You're picked up from your Dubai hotel in the morning for the drive south along the coast. The highlight is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a vast complex of white marble domes, reflecting pools, carved columns and glittering chandeliers, with time to walk the courtyard and see inside.
The tour continues along the Corniche waterfront and past landmarks such as Emirates Palace, with a stop for lunch, and a photo stop at Yas Island, home of Ferrari World, before the drive back to Dubai in the late afternoon.
Want more culture? Ask us about adding tickets for the Louvre Abu Dhabi or the Qasr Al Watan presidential palace. Remember to dress modestly for the mosque.
