Tour Overview

One night in the Emirati capital, built around three landmarks that each tell a different part of the nation's story: the marble courtyards of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the light-filtering dome of the Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island, and the ceremonial halls of Qasr Al Watan, the Presidential Palace opened to the public in the heart of the city.

Highlights include a guided visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque with its reflecting pools and hand-knotted carpet, a tour of the Louvre Abu Dhabi's collection beneath the museum's perforated "Rain of Light" dome, and an afternoon inside Qasr Al Watan's Great Hall and Presidential Library before an evening free along the Corniche waterfront.
