Spanning approximately 30 acres, this vast mosque can host thousands of worshipers simultaneously! As you stroll through the Grand Mosque’s courtyard, you’ll notice the gleaming exterior made of white Greek and Macedonian tiles. The main dome, located at the center of the prayer hall, is one of the largest mosque domes in the world. Step inside to admire the exquisite traditional designs from floor to ceiling. You’ll also see other priceless features such as the world’s largest hand-woven carpet, grand crystal chandeliers, floral-patterned artworks, and glass panels adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals. Be sure to capture memorable photos of this awe-inspiring structure.

As the largest art museum in the Arab world, the Louvre houses numerous artifacts from around the globe. Upon arrival, your driver will assist you with entry tickets.

Inside the museum, you’ll feel as if you’re bathed in sunlight, thanks to the sunrays filtering through its silvery dome, which resembles interwoven palm leaves.

The exhibits are arranged chronologically, offering deep insights into various civilizations and cultures from ancient times to the present.

Highly recommend! - I had an incredible day on the Abu Dhabi full-day trip! The sights were some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Dagoberto’s knowledge and friendliness were the icing on the cake. He was truly the perfect guide—helpful with photos, clear with explanations, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the journey. Highly recommend!

Everything we expected - and more - A fantastic full day trip to Abu Dhabi with a great understanding of the UAE and the sights we visited thanks to Sadeem. We learnt so much. Sadeem made a huge effort to ensure we got the most out of the day and answered all our questions. The visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was a highlight - it’s a must see.

It just doesn’t get any more trumpet galactic🌟 - Moin Folks, the sheer madness, here could the climate glue please let off steam, air conditioners as far as the eye can see, but neeeeeeeee. The program, the Orga, super cool. The eye and brain only ever have fractional seconds to record, which later process, trumpet galactic 🌟 What you get to see here 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 It’s worth it all and the Louvre here dwarfs everything, an architectural feat, the structural engineers had a lot to reckon with, the pure madness, would always choose the tour program, let’s go, Dubai calls.

Memorable full day Abu Dhabi trip - One of the best tours we ever had, the full day Abu Dhabi tour with Yusuf at Louvre and Grand Mosque! Our Tour guide Yusuf (with Ocean Air Travels) was one of the best. He made this experience spectacular. I'm not into History but when he told us some of the Historical background of this trip, its so interesting. He gave us Abayas to wear. He finds good locations and took our pictures. A wonderful tour guide indeed! Highly recommended trip! Thank you very much Yusuf for the wonderful experience!
