What to do in Abu Dhabi?
The bustling capital of the United Arab Emirates is packed with attractions you are sure to love.
- GRAND MOSQUE / Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
This is the most inspiring place in Abu Dhabi. Visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, often simply called the Grand Mosque, is one of the very best things to do in the city. It stands on the inland side of Abu Dhabi Island, about 20 kilometres from the airport, and is arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
Keep in mind that there is a dress code: women must cover their hair, legs and arms, and men must also keep their arms and legs covered. The mosque is open to the public except on Friday mornings and on special occasions.
- Emirates Palace
Next, head to Emirates Palace. It is one of the most expensive hotels in the world and truly breathtaking. Unlike the Burj Al Arab, which only overnight guests or visitors with a restaurant or spa booking can enter, you can visit Emirates Palace even if you are not staying there.
- HERITAGE VILLAGE
From Emirates Palace you can continue to the Heritage Village, a reconstruction of a traditional oasis village that gives you a feel for old Arabia. There are also open workshops where craftsmen demonstrate traditional skills such as metalwork, weaving and spinning.
- Stroll along the Corniche and its beach
The Corniche is a lovely place for a walk, with children’s play areas, separate cycling and walking paths, restaurants, cafés and the public Corniche Beach.
- Louvre Abu Dhabi
The Louvre Abu Dhabi stands out for its stunning architecture. It opened at the end of 2017 and has drawn huge numbers of visitors ever since.
Louvre Abu Dhabi is a museum of art and civilisation covering around 24,000 square metres, which makes it the largest art museum on the Arabian Peninsula. Beyond the art on display, the building’s interior is remarkable in its own right.
