About this experience
An urban oasis amidst golden sands and mangrove forests, this is what the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, will reveal to you. This city is multifaceted: you will see the beautiful White Mosque, the luxurious residence of the sheikh, and the famous 'golden' Emirates Palace. Immerse yourself in art at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, learn about life 'before oil' in the Bedouin Village, and admire the views of Al Bahar.
What to Expect
1️⃣ Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This white mosque will amaze you with its scale, Eastern sophistication, and dazzling beauty.
2️⃣ Louvre (Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum). Haven't been to Paris? No problem! In Abu Dhabi, you will have the opportunity to visit a branch of one of France's symbols - the Louvre Museum. You will appreciate the architecture of its building and see artifacts from different eras, cultures, and civilizations.
3️⃣ Qasr Al Watan. Have you ever wondered how real sheikhs live? It's time to peek into the residence of the UAE president. You will see that luxury knows no bounds for a sheikh, experience local hospitality traditions, and learn the secrets of this palace.
4️⃣ Emirates Palace Hotel. Lots of gold, the aesthetic of luxury, the very embodiment of a fairytale palace from '1001 Nights.' You don't need to book a room to see the splendor of the interiors.
5️⃣ Bedouin Village. Want to know how the locals lived here before all this wealth? What did they do before they moved from camels to Rolls-Royces? The museum village will transport you back in time. You will see the homes of craftsmen, Bedouin tents, various utensils - the essentials of the local population.
6️⃣ Al Bahar. Let's head to the Corniche waterfront, where at Al Bahar you will be greeted by the sea, sand, and mangrove forests. A visual delight after a day filled with sightseeing.
