About this experience
You will experience the true atmosphere of the East at the date market, immerse yourself in the country's culture and religion at the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, visit one of the world's most expensive hotels, and unravel all the facets of Abu Dhabi's contradictory character. I will be your reliable and friendly guide who will decipher what you see and help you understand this mysterious country!
What to Expect
UAE Through the Centuries
The journey begins with diving into the country's history. In the ethnographic museum-fortress 'Heritage Village,' you will observe the work of craftsmen, glassblowers, blacksmiths, weavers, and potters. Then you will visit the date market and Ferrari Park, see the 'Capital Gates' with an 18-degree incline, and visit one of the world's most expensive hotels - the Emirates Palace. If desired, you can relax there with a cup of royal cappuccino and cakes with gold flakes.
Luxurious Sheikh Zayed Mosque
At Al-Ittihad Square, you will see huge sculptures made of white stone dedicated to the country's six main symbols. And finally, you will visit the white Sheikh Zayed Mosque, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. It will impress you with colored marble, gilded gold, handmade Eastern carpets, graceful columns, and sparkling chandeliers.
