First, visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the UAE.

It’s a sight to behold and a key cultural treasure of Abu Dhabi.
Next, enjoy a scenic drive along the Abu Dhabi Corniche, where you’ll be treated to stunning views of the turquoise blue waters of the Persian Gulf and the city’s impressive skyline. Continuing your journey, you’ll reach the Etihad Towers, an architectural masterpiece offering not only luxury accommodations and dining but also an observation deck with breathtaking panoramic views of the city, including the Emirates Palace and the Arabian Gulf.
You’ll then have time to enjoy lunch (at your own expense) and can opt for a local restaurant to savor the flavors of Abu Dhabi’s culinary scene.
In the afternoon, explore the Qasr Al Watan, a functioning presidential palace and cultural center. This architectural marvel provides a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the UAE, with a collection of artifacts and exhibits that showcase the nation’s heritage.
