This full-day trip takes you from Dubai to the UAE capital and back, with hotel or apartment pickup and drop-off and a guide throughout. Plan for around eight hours, including the drive each way, so it works best as a dedicated day out.
The first major stop is Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the UAE, known for its white marble, gold-detailed ceramics, chandeliers and hand-made carpets. The itinerary then continues to Emirates Palace Hotel, a drive past the Presidential Palace, the Heritage Village showing traditional desert life, and the Abu Dhabi Marina Mall area where there is time for lunch.
After lunch the stops include the Islamic Art Museum (about 30 minutes), the Dates Market for fresh dates of many varieties, and a drive across Saadiyat and Yas Islands with a photo stop at Ferrari World. Ferrari World is a photo stop only, not a ticketed visit.
Because the mosque is a place of worship, dress modestly: long loose clothing covering arms and legs, and a headscarf for women. The mosque's own visitor rules apply and can change, so follow staff instructions on the day. Plan to pay for lunch, entry tickets and any extras yourself unless our team confirms otherwise at booking. November to May is the most pleasant season for the trip.
We confirm the start time after booking, so keep your phone available on the morning. Bring a light jacket for air-conditioned venues, comfortable shoes for the mosque courtyard walk and some cash for lunch and the Dates Market.
