First you will visit to the famous Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This architectural marvel is the largest mosque in the UAE and can hold up to 40,000 worshipers at once. It features 82 domes, more than 1,000 columns, golden chandeliers, and the world's largest hand knotted carpet. Reflective pools surround the mosque, amplifying its beauty.

Next you will be guided through Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi’s oldest neighbourhood, to reach another architectural marvel – the Emirates Palace Hotel. This palatial hotel is a fine example of traditional Arabic architecture and features more than 100 impressive domes, ornate hotel rooms, and luxury suites decorated in gold and marble. It is fitting, then, to take a break and drink their signature coffee. Known as the ‘Palace Cappuccino’, this superior aromatic coffee is sprinkled with gold flakes to give you a taste of royalty, and is unlike anything you have ever tried before. Served on a polished silver tray, you can relax and enjoy your cappuccino with a special dates and dark chocolate.

Then, you will proceed to Heritage Village, passing by the Abu Dhabi Corniche, to finish at Qasr Al Hosn Fort. Qasr al Hosn is Abu Dhabi’s symbolic birthplace and was built in the 1760s as a coral and sea stone watchtower overlooking the sea. This later transformed into an impenetrable fort. Due to the shells’ reflective effect, the fort’s walls would sparkle in the sun, offering a welcome navigational tool for merchants. In the 1950s, an iconic palace enclosed the fort, and it was transformed into a museum housing collections from Abu Dhabi and the Arabian Gulf. You will finish the morning exploring the region’s history, culture and traditions at this significant landmark.

After the tour, a private car will transfer you back to your preferred destination in Dubai.
