Itinerary
Depart Dubai and journey to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi by modern air-conditioned vehicle. Relax in comfort on the 90-minute drive with your professional guide. On arrival, marvel at the 8th largest mosque in the world. This is one of the significant contemporary Islamic architecture in the world, which accommodates thousands of worshippers at a time. It took 11 years to complete this immense architecture that covers over 30 acres of Land. The incredible view of the Grand Mosque Abu Dhabi will be a feast to your eyes as it exhibits the cultural diversity of Islam with modern architecture and designs. The exterior surface of the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque is covered with Sivec marble from Greece and Macedonia; its central dome is one of the largest mosque-domes in the world.
Get to the Mosque and watch its rich traditional designs, from floor to ceiling, as the name says its ‘grand’ in every angle. Attractions here are plenty... most notable among them are the world’s largest hand-woven carpet (measuring around 60,570 sq ft. this carpet was hand-woven by about 1,200 - 1,300 carpet knitters), largest marble mosaic floral design in the world, third-largest chandelier in the world (that adorns the main prayer hall), glass panels studded with Swarovski crystals, and many more! The interiors of The Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque are richly decorated with verses of the Holy Quran in three varieties of Arabic calligraphy. As you move around the premises you can see the reflective pools that surround the Mosque, which in turn amplifies its beauty! Overall you will never get tired of exploring the gigantic structural masterpieces. After completing the Mosque visit, you will be dropped back to the selected location/hotel by us.
After this awe-inspiring visit, return to Dubai, where the modern and cosmopolitan atmosphere awaits. The journey between these two iconic cities offers a unique glimpse into the contrasts that define the United Arab Emirates, blending tradition and modernity in a seamless tapestry. This day trip promises an enriching experience that spans both cultural appreciation and urban allure, allowing you to witness the diverse facets that make this region truly remarkable.

The tour was exceptionally well organised, they picked me up from the hotel, then we came together at a meeting point, then we visited the Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi. All the tour guides were extremely friendly, and knew a lot about the place we were going to and also the country in general. Highly recommend !

About Dubai
Dubai rises from desert and Gulf shore as a city of soaring towers, vast malls and beaches, with older trading quarters strung along its creek.
The Burj Khalifa, built to be the tallest building in the world, soars above Downtown, where the Dubai Fountain dances on a lake at its feet and the Dubai Mall spreads out beside it. Along the coast, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the palm-shaped island of Palm Jumeirah and the towers of Dubai Marina define a skyline raised within living memory.
