Full Day Abu Dhabi City Tour With Grand Mosque

1. 1

   Hotel pickup in Dubai and the drive to Abu Dhabi

   You are collected from your Dubai hotel in the morning and head south along the coast road towards the capital. The drive takes around ninety minutes, with your guide setting out the history of the Emirates and what the day covers. Transfers are shared, so pickup times are confirmed the day before.

2. 2

   Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

   The main stop of the day. The mosque holds tens of thousands of worshippers beneath 82 domes of white marble, with reflective pools running the length of the courtyard, chandeliers set with Swarovski crystal and one of the largest hand-knotted carpets in the world. Modest dress is required: for women, loose clothing to the ankles, sleeves to the wrists and hair fully covered; for men, long trousers and no sleeveless, tight or see-through tops.

3. 3

   Yas Island, the Corniche and Heritage Village

   The afternoon covers the rest of the capital: a photo stop at Yas Island for Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Circuit, a drive along the Corniche waterfront, and Heritage Village, a reconstructed oasis settlement facing the skyline that shows how Abu Dhabi lived before the oil era. Free time is given before the return drive to Dubai.

• Dress code
• Dress code at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is strictly enforced and visitors are turned away at the entrance: long, loose clothing covering shoulders, arms and ankles for everyone, and a headscarf for women - bring your own scarf rather than relying on availability at the door. No shorts, no tight or sheer fabrics. Shoes are removed before entering the prayer halls. The BAPS Hindu Mandir stop is closed on Mondays, so avoid a Monday departure if that stop matters to you. Lunch is at Marina Mall and is at your own cost. This is a nine-hour day with around three hours of driving in total, so it suits travellers happy with a long schedule. Bring water, sunglasses and a hat; several stops are outdoors. Pickup is a timed window from your Dubai hotel - be ready in the lobby from the start of it.
