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 Sheikh Zayed Mosque, visit one of the world's most luxurious hotels, and discover all facets of Abu Dhabi's complex character. I will be your reliable and friendly guide, interpreting what you see and helping you understand this mysterious country!
What to Expect
The UAE through the centuries
The journey begins with a dive into the country's history. In the Ethnographic Fort Museum 'Heritage Village,' you will observe craftsmen at work, glassblowers, blacksmiths, weavers, and potters. Then, you will visit the date market and Ferrari World, see the 'Capital Gates' leaning at an angle of 18 degrees, and visit one of the most expensive hotels in the world—the Emirates Palace. You can take a break there with a cup of royal cappuccino and cakes with gold if you wish.
Luxurious Sheikh Zayed Mosque
At the Al-Ittihad Square, you will admire huge white stone sculptures dedicated to the six main symbols of the country. Finally, you will visit the snow-white Sheikh Zayed Mosque, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. It will impress you with colored marble, gilded gold, handwoven Eastern carpets, graceful columns, and sparkling chandeliers.
