Abu Dhabi City Tour and Dhow Cruise Dinner

This is a great opportunity to experience Abu Dhabi’s most outstanding activities; the Abu Dhabi City Tour and the Dhow Cruise Dinner all in one great package. We begin in the afternoon with the Abu Dhabi city tour package. Before the tour, you will be picked from your hotel. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is our first attraction for the tour. Being the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates, it stands high tall as one of the most captivating national sites in the UAE. With a combination of Islamic, Ottoman, Moorish, and Mughal Architecture styles, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque has 82 domes. The world’s largest hand-knotted carpet can be found in the Prayer Hall. It is also decorated with seven crystal chandeliers by Faustig from Munich, Germany. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque serves as a very convenient prayer place and a monument of unity in the Islamic faith.

At the Heritage Village, we learn more about the history of Abu Dhabi. It is a very peaceful place and has tents with roofs made of goat hair. The Abu Dhabi Heritage Village has a market (known as souk), where trades happen. On display, are beautifully-crafted traditional metalwork, pottery, and woven works. Traditional spices, jewellery, and handmade soap are also on sale. The sight of camels and horses is a beautiful one to behold. During your walk to the oasis village, enjoy the display of authentic arts & artefacts of the heritage of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates. Before you continue the tour, enjoy the beachfront from the coffee shop.

The Iranian Market is one of the busiest places in Abu Dhabi. In this market, high-quality Iranian products are sold and bought. These products are mostly locally manufactured. They include; traditional jewellery, handmade baskets, brassware, handmade rugs, and other local goods. The Abu Dhabi Date Market has different kinds of dates available. This is the largest and most diverse dates market in the United Arab Emirates. Be sure to pass by for an exotic treat of dates.

For a wonderful beach and sea view, the Abu Dhabi Corniche is the next stop in the Abu Dhabi city tour package. The Abu Dhabi Corniche is occupied by beautiful white sands, turquoise water, and a well-kept garden. The beach has four gates and a lifeguard is also available. The Abu Dhabi Corniche is also a nice place to cool down and spend some quality time with your family. It gives you a beautiful view of the Abu Dhabi skyline.

Now we move to the Emirates Palace Hotel. Designed with a mixture of Islamic architecture, the Emirates Palace Hotel is a grand hotel with about 394 residences, including 92 suites and 22 presidential suites. The interior is beautifully decorated and has other facilities such as a spa for relaxation. The Emirates Palace Hotel has well-stocked shops and restaurants.

The Presidential Palace is our next location. Qasr Al Watan as the Presidential Palace was built with beautiful architecture designs and internally decorated with nothing but the best chandeliers and intricately designed marbles. One of the fascinating pieces in the Palace is the golden sculpture called 'the Power of Words' which represents the legacy built up by the late founding fathers of the UAE.
