Dubai to Abu Dhabi: Grand Mosque, Royal Palace & Etihad Towers

What you get

• It includes a guided visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
• You visit Qasr Al Watan or pass Emirates Palace.

Abu Dhabi is about 90 minutes from Dubai Marina, and a guided day trip is the easiest way to see the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Watan presidential palace, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Emirates Palace and the Corniche. Most tours run 8–10 hours with hotel pickup, and some add Ferrari World or Warner Bros. World on Yas Island.

Good to know

• The mosque dress code is strict: arms and legs covered, and women need a headscarf (abayas are often lent)
• The mosque is closed to visitors on Friday mornings
• Stay in Dubai Marina or JLT to cut 20–30 minutes off the drive
• Private tours let you choose the Louvre or Ferrari World instead of the standard stops
