Abu Dhabi Half Day City Tour

About this activity

The Abu Dhabi half day city tour is a whirlwind experience that will take you to the highlights of UAE’s wonderful capital. Admire a mesmerizing blend of Islamic architecture styles in the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. You will also get to notice some of the superlatives like the world’s largest carpet and the biggest chandelier. Made mostly out of natural elements, the mosque and its picturesque courtyards make perfect subjects for photos. Take a trip back in history by visiting the Abu Dhabi heritage village. Resembling the likes of an ancient reconstructed fort, guests can view the falaj irrigation system, diorama showing aspects of traditional daily life, a goats hair tent and many more in the open museum. For a better insight into UAE’s culture and history, take a look at the workshops that demonstrate traditional skills like pottery, metalwork, etc.
