Overview

Do you always travel for leisure? Have there been times when you felt like starting your journey with a visit to a divine shrine? With this tour package, we intend to give you the presence of the divinity you crave for.

In this tour, after picking you up from the hotel, we will take you to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This is not only the largest mosque in the country but also the third largest mosque in the world, after the Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

This mosque is named after the founder as well as the first president of UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Built 9.5 metres above the street level and 11 metres above the sea level, this mosque is constructed in such a way that it can be seen from every corner of the city.

The yet another specialty of this grand mosque is that its location and design was personally supervised by the President himself. Once you visit this shrine, you will definitely get to see the gorgeous result of such influence and dedication both on the interior as well as the exterior of the mosque.

The mosque is open to visitors on all the days except on Fridays. After spending some time inside the mosque, we will take you to the famous Louvre museum. You will certainly surprised to see the famous artworks exhibited here. This art and civilisation museum is also known to be part of the thirty-year agreement between the French Government and the Abu Dhabi city.

In spite of being in a Muslim country, this museum showcases a lot of renowned artworks from many French museums. The Louvre museum was constructed with the intention of forming a close relationship between the Eastern and Western artworks. This is why the museum was inaugurated by the Vice-President of UAE, Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum along with the French President, Emmanuel Macron in the year 2017.

This tour, in fact, will be the perfect one for you to enjoy the up-close views of many classic French artworks. Soon after this visit, you will be dropped back to your hotels.

Rather than going for a trip around the city, if you wish to have a relaxed ride to the traditionally and culturally rich centres of Abu Dhabi, this tour is what you are looking for. Book your seats with us right now and get a chance to understand what makes this city so special and wonderful.
