Experience Details*
Enjoy being whisked between three of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic attractions and explore at your own pace.
Gaze out at the scenery as you drive along the pristine Corniche, where the waterfront borders shimmering turquoise water, on your way to the Breakwater. From here, you’ll have the chance to wander round the Heritage Village and glimpse how different local life was before oil brought prosperity to the region, or you can head to the Marina Mall for that retail fix.
Pass the stunning Presidential Palace as your journey takes you to the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – one of the largest in the world. Behold the sheer scale of this special building and marvel at its incredible architecture and opulent décor.
Arriving at elegant Saadiyat Island, you’ll have time to stroll around the Manarat Al Saadiyat. This arts and cultural haven exhibits collections from around the world, and its interactive centre brings the history and cultural vision of the island to life.
