The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your Dubai hotel at 9am in an air-conditioned vehicle. The first stop is Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, one of the largest mosques in the world and able to hold over 30,000 worshipers. The entire structure is clad in white marble with intricate Islamic carvings and extensive landscaping. The mosque operates on a strict schedule, it closes to visitors at 11:30am, so the early departure is built around that window. Dress code is enforced: women need to cover their head with a scarf and wear long sleeves and full-length trousers or a long skirt. Men must wear long trousers.

After the mosque, the route heads to Yas Island and passes Ferrari World Abu Dhabi before arriving at Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi's largest shopping center. Lunch is included here, giving you time to explore the mall before the group moves on. The mall sits on an island with its own character, distinct from central Dubai.

The final stop is Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab World. Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Jean Nouvel, it holds 9,200 square meters of gallery space across permanent and temporary collections. The museum displays works of historical, cultural and sociological significance from ancient times to the contemporary era, with pieces on loan from the Musée du Louvre, Musée d'Orsay and Centre Pompidou. A live guide in English accompanies the group throughout. Audio guides are also available in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Korean.
