Highlights
  • Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque - Our driver will pick you up from your hotel or chosen location in Dubai and take you to the first stop of the tour: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This Islamic architectural marvel seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary Arabian artistic styles.

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. As you explore, you’ll encounter an impressive collection of artworks, including pieces from renowned French museums such as the Louvre, Centre Georges Pompidou, Palace of Versailles, and Musée d’Orsay. The exhibits are arranged chronologically, offering deep insights into various civilizations and cultures from ancient times to the present.

Advised!!!! - Everything perfect, pick-up service from the hotel to the recommended meeting point. Our FESAL guide, although the tour was in English, knowing Italian, explained everything to us, first stopping at the Louvre for 2 hours independently, then a bus tour, with an explanation of the Emirati and Arab culture and their history, then going towards the mosque you come across the Emirates tower, Ferrari world, Sea world and the Sultan's residence. FESAL, the guide lent us an abaya for the ladies to access the mosque, explanation in detail but be careful of the heat. Thanks for everything FESAL!!!!

Grand Mosque and Louvre tour - We had an amazing trip to the Louvre and the Grand Mosque. This was our first time in Dubai so it was important that we took a trip to Abu Dhabi. Our tour guide Fesal, was so kind, helpful, and so knowledgeable about the city of Dubai, the history of Abu Dhabi, and the history behind the Grand Mosque! My family and I truly learned a lot and Fesal made sure our entire group felt comfortable the entire time. I would definitely recommend this to any family member or friend of mine! The experience was truly memorable. Thank you again, Fesal!

Worth the trip - I enjoyed this tour (Louvre and Grande Mosque) with David as our guide. I chose this over the ones that have more stops because I didn’t want to feel rushed. David was friendly, gave us a lot of history on the drive to Abu Dhabi and made it interesting. The Mosque is stunning. I could have used more time in the museum. Lunch is on your own in the mall next to the Mosque.
