About this experience
Abu Dhabi is the richest and most colorful emirate in the Middle East. You will see a magnificent combination of skyscrapers, luxurious palaces, museums, and buildings with unique architecture. Visit the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the most expensive hotel in the world, a Bedouin village, and other amazing places. Learn the meaning of the city's name and why it was given that name. I will tell you about the life of the local population and help you feel the true spirit of the country.
What to Expect
Bedouin village and Corniche waterfront
Abu Dhabi is considered the most picturesque city in the entire country. You will notice this immediately as you leave the Dubai area and enter Abu Dhabi, unusually green for these parts. Upon arrival, I will show you an unusual bridge resembling sand dunes. The path will then lead along a wonderful promenade that will amaze you with its cleanliness and maintenance. Our first stop will be at Heritage Village - an open-air historic and ethnographic museum. You will see Bedouin tents, ancient weapons, craft figures of animals, household artifacts, and much more.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque and marvels of modern architecture
You will visit the Emirates Palace, known as the 'Golden Palace'. This is the most expensive hotel-type building costing over 3 billion dollars. Next, I will show you the leaning Capital Gate tower and the Al Bahr - twin buildings with a moving facade. The highlight will be a visit to the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. I will tell you how long it took to build the mosque and what its original purpose was. Finally, if you wish, we can visit the Ferrari-themed park, where you can immerse yourself in the world of the legendary car, buy souvenirs with the iconic logo, and take great photos.
