Meet the guide in the heart of Abu Dhabi and board an air-conditioned coach to visit the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan Mosque, commonly referred to as the grand mosque.

Enter with the guide to discover this vast monument, considered one of the world’s largest mosques, and learn about the man it was named after. The late Sheikh Zayed is highly respected by the people of the United Arab Emirates and is credited with transforming the city into the vibrant capital it is today.

The grand mosque’s interior is breathtaking, featuring crystal and gold-plated chandeliers, marble mosaics, and the world’s largest Persian carpet. Admire the decorations and explore the expansive main prayer hall, which can accommodate 40,000 worshipers.

After the mosque visit, return to the coach to tour the city and see its attractions. Stop for photos at the luxurious Emirates Palace Hotel and view the Abu Dhabi Corniche, a stunning sandy waterfront, and the Breakwater, home to many of the city’s luxury yachts.

Proceed to the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, a functioning veterinary clinic where the UAE’s national birds receive care. Falconry is deeply embedded in the country’s Arabic traditions and culture, with the birds symbolizing strength and bravery. Learn about them on a tour led by a trained falcon carer. After exploring the facility, step outside to a free flight cage for an up-close view of the UAE’s national birds in action.

Be ready to capture photos of the birds before departing, then return to the coach. The tour concludes in the town center, where it began.
