Abu Dhabi City and Grand Mosque Tour
Meet your guide in the lobby for our private coach tour of the city Abu Dhabi. It is hard to believe that 50 years ago Abu Dhabi was little more than a beautiful desert inhabited by nomadic tribes.

This short tour will finish with a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This breathtaking Mosque has 80 domes, approximately 1000 columns and 24 carat gold plated chandeliers – it is awesome. Ladies will be given an Abaya (loose black robe) which you wear over your own clothes along with a Sheyla (headscarf), as your hair must be covered. Please wear long trousers and shirts with sleeves, as shoulders must also be covered. 18:30
