About this experience
Breathtaking panoramas, magnificent palaces, vast mosque spaces - all this on a sightseeing tour of Abu Dhabi. I have been living in this incredible city for 15 years and will show it to you from different angles. You will not only feel the richness of the place, but also learn about the history of transforming the desert into a metropolis and taste traditional Arab delicacy - dates - at the colorful market.
What to expect
Main attractions of Abu Dhabi
🏙 Your introduction to the city will begin with the Corniche promenade. Here you will find futuristic skyscrapers and luxurious hotels. At the same time, it is a place of unity with nature, where you will see the endless horizon of the bay with a pristine beach.
🛖 It's hard to believe that such a modern landscape appeared not so long ago! To make sure, we will visit Heritage Village, which will take you back 50 years. Craftsmen's houses, Bedouin tents, ancient boats - you will immerse yourself in the life of the native population and learn how settlements were organized.
✨ Next is the Emirates Palace - its decoration impresses with gold finish and mosaic. Ready to not only see gold but also taste it? It's real! Here you can drink coffee decorated with real gold shavings.
🌴 If edible gold does not tempt you, then the traditional juicy dates will not leave anyone indifferent. Let's go for them to the Date Market, one of the oldest in the city. Be sure, you will not see so many different types of dates anywhere else.
🇦🇪 After replenishing our energy, we head to the Presidential Palace. This is not just a sight for tourists: the palace houses the actual offices of the UAE president. You will be amazed by the interiors that combine elements of Arabic art and craft.
🕌 Finally, the epitome of luxury and scale - Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. One of the largest mosques in the world is open not only to Muslims and symbolizes tolerance and mutual understanding between cultures. Your eyes will behold the world's largest handmade carpet and 12-ton crystal chandeliers.
