The name Abu Dhabi means: “Father of the Gazelle”. Our first stop will be at Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque, one of the largest Mosques in the world; able to accommodate more than 30,000 worshipers. The beautiful Mosque is completely clad in marble and also features intricate Islamic decoration and carvings as well as extensive landscaping works. Proceed to the Heritage Village, which houses a small museum and depicts the traditional daily activities of the Arab community prior to the discovery of oil.
From here we drive along the spectacular Corniche, past gleaming white mosques, glass-clad offices and elegant high-rise apartments to the tip of the breakwater for a superb view of the city’s magnificent skyline. Lunch in a local restaurant in Abu Dhabi harbor, before we continue our tour to the Saadiyat Island, where Guggenheim and Le Louvre museum are being built. We will continue in the afternoon with an outside visit of the YAS complex with the Ferrari park, the YAS water world, the YAS mall and of course the F1 circuit .
