Dubai: Abu Dhabi Day-Trip Grand Mosque, Royal Palace & Lunch

Discover Abu Dhabi’s rich heritage and modern marvels, including the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the luxurious Etihad Towers, on this guided small-group tour from Dubai.

We traveled with the agency Ocean Travel, and our guide Samir was fantastic. Everything was absolutely great. One thing I would suggest changing in the tour description is the duration. It might be better to mention that it lasts from 9 hours onward, as it really depends on the traffic. For us, the tour lasted 11 hours.

Helpful? Yes

I’m so happy I had the chance to fully immerse myself in the atmosphere of Abu Dhabi for an entire day. I was especially impressed by the shiny, mirror-like floors of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque.

Helpful? Yes

This tour was very well organized, with an outstanding guide, Muhammad Ali, and we felt completely safe in Abdul's hands as he drove us from Dubai, to the locations in Abu Dhabi, and back. Abu Dhabi is a vibrant city, offering plenty of great spots for photos, such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan, Emirates Palace, and the breathtaking views from the Etihad Towers observation deck. We enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch and dessert (75Dh), and the experience was topped off with a memorable visit to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Muhammad Ali’s extensive knowledge ensured we were well-informed about everything in Abu Dhabi. Highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, visiting the magnificent buildings that truly amazed us. The tour was perfectly organized from beginning to end, with clear communication throughout.

I recently took a full-day tour to Abu Dhabi, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a true masterpiece of architectural beauty and cultural significance in the UAE. The tour was expertly organized, with each stop thoughtfully chosen to highlight the splendor of Abu Dhabi. The Presidential Palace was equally impressive, leaving us in awe of its magnificence and luxury. A special mention goes to our guide, Mustafa, whose passion and dedication were evident throughout the day. His extensive knowledge of local history and culture greatly enhanced the experience. Mustafa went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, even helping us capture the best photos at every stop. I highly recommend this tour!

Everything was perfectly planned and executed. Our tour guide, Ziad, was extremely professional and experienced. He picked us up on time, guided us throughout the day, shared fascinating historical insights, explained the rules, and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Ziad!

Helpful? Yes

The day trip with Mohammad Ziad was excellent, and the chauffeur, Mohammad Rashid, was also great. Both spoke Urdu and English, which made communication very smooth. They were friendly, respectful, and even helped with taking pictures. The only suggestion would be for the company to upgrade the touring bus.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was fantastic, with the guide keeping us entertained throughout the transfer by sharing interesting facts and information about the UAE, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. We smoothly visited the key highlights of Abu Dhabi in an organized manner, and I would definitely recommend the trip. However, there were two aspects that impacted the service quality. First, the trip description mentioned hotel or apartment pickups, but we were asked to meet at the nearest hotel, 2 km away from our apartment, which cost us an additional 30 dirhams each way for an unplanned taxi ride. Second, I suggest opting for the trip without the meal included, as everyone has lunch at the same time. While the meal provided was decent, with a limited choice, those who didn’t include the meal had access to a full menu but had to pay separately.

Helpful? Yes

Amazing, very informative. Ziad was an amazing guide.

Helpful? Yes

Ziad is an amazing guide—very kind, humorous, and perfectly organized. He provided us with a wealth of valuable information about each place we visited. I wholeheartedly recommend him. A trip with Ziad guarantees full satisfaction!

If I could give this tour 6 stars, I definitely would. The day was perfectly planned, and the guide was exceptional with his knowledge and how he presented everything. You truly felt safe and well taken care of. He even knew the best ways to photograph everything to capture the perfect shots. All in all, it was one of the best trips we've ever had.

I had a fantastic day trip to Abu Dhabi. It began with a smooth and easy transport from my hotel to the meeting point with Fahad. Ahmad was my guide, and he was the best I could have asked for! He was very knowledgeable, patient, and organized the entire trip perfectly. The Mosque, Palace, and observation deck were breathtaking to experience in person. If you’re in Dubai, make sure to book this day trip. Also, the lunch at Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant was absolutely amazing!

Helpful? Yes

The tour to Abu Dhabi was incredibly exciting, and I highly recommend it. Ebrahim was extremely friendly and did a great job explaining everything to us, answering all our questions.

Sammy, the tour guide, was amazing! It was a well-organized and enjoyable trip. However, the description mentioned lunch, but you need to book it separately, which I didn’t realize on my phone.

Helpful? Yes

Absolutely fabulous tour! Our guide, Dago, was incredibly funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Helpful? Yes

The trip was definitely worth it! The places we visited were stunning architectural masterpieces, and they provided great photo opportunities, especially the mosque. Abu Dhabi offers a different experience than Dubai but is still very tourist-friendly. The pickup from our hotel was on time, and the driver was nice and friendly. Once on the main bus, the guide was excellent—informative, friendly, and made sure everyone felt at ease. He also checked the dress code as we were heading to the mosque. Throughout the trip, he kept everyone together when needed and shared all the important information. He was fantastic at taking great photos. The food included in the package was excellent, and we couldn’t fault it. Overall, it was a great day. This was the second time we’ve done full-day trips with GetYourGuide’s provider, Ocean Air Travel, and both experiences have been excellent.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide, Mustafa, was incredible! He spoke almost 5 languages and was amazing, super friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Most importantly, he knew all the do’s and don’ts, which made the experience even better. We took the tour with lunch, but honestly, if you’re not a fan of authentic Arabic food, you might want to skip it. After visiting the mosque, you’ll stop at a food court for lunch. The tour included the mosque, lunch, Etihad Towers, and the royal palace. It can get really hot, so I recommend bringing a rechargeable portable fan. But overall, it’s a must-do experience—100000% recommended!

Helpful? Yes

Good pacing, organized and the guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. Food was delicious.

Helpful? Yes

Our tour guide, Khattab, was excellent and made the tour very enjoyable with his good sense of humor, great organization, and the high level of information he provided. I would suggest skipping the photo stop at the Louvre, as it's not particularly interesting, and some people didn’t listen to the guide and got lost in the museum. The rest of the tour was fantastic and very interesting. Thank you so much, Khattab! ????

Helpful? Yes

The trip was truly elevated by the quality of our guide, Riz. He was incredibly helpful, and his knowledge was outstanding first class! However, if I’m completely honest, we weren’t entirely impressed with the lunch. If I had known there was a good hall available, I would have chosen a different place to eat.

Helpful? Yes

Helpful? Yes

Ahmed was an excellent communicator, providing detailed information and keeping track of all of us. With 12 people from 6 different countries, it made the experience even more fun. He also had a great sense of humor and shared some personal stories, which made the tour even more enjoyable. We loved all the locations, especially the palace and the mosque. It would have been great to just walk through the entrance of the Louvre to see a bit of the interior, although the exterior is beautiful. We also heard about the Formula 1 track and wondered if that’s ever offered as an add-on option. Thanks for a fantastic day!

Helpful? Yes

Overall, it was an awesome experience. The tour was very insightful, and our guide made every minute count!

Helpful? Yes

For the most part, I had a good experience. Our tour guide, Jose, was both informative and entertaining. The only downside was that it was a very long day. I was picked up around 9:35am, with other guests already on board. We drove to Abu Dhabi, and our first stop was only useful for a bathroom break, which I appreciated. The Etihad Towers were okay, and the Royal Palace was pretty cool, but I spent a lot of time waiting after walking through it. I also didn't realize that lunch wouldn't be until 2pm, so I recommend bringing snacks if you get hungry like I do. The lunch was good, but I was the only one who ordered the preset menu, so I ate alone while everyone else explored on their own. The restaurant is very busy and small. The Grand Mosque was rushed through in about 10 minutes, followed by more waiting. There was traffic on the way back, so I didn’t get back until after 7pm. Overall, I recommend the tour, but be mindful of timing and food.

Helpful? Yes

Our trip was great! We visited the main sights of Abu Dhabi and had lunch at Al Khayma restaurant. Our guide, Shan, was very nice and helpful, providing us with all the necessary information and pointing out interesting things in the city. He also helped us capture great photos. He was punctual and managed the time well. A few times, we wanted to stay at certain locations a bit longer, but it’s hard to thoroughly explore everything within 8 hours. The lunch was good too, with a main dish, dessert, and a small coffee and tea.

Helpful? Yes

Excellent tour if you want to explore Abu Dhabi! Our guide, Shan, was very informative and took great care of us throughout the day. I highly recommend this day tour!

Helpful? Yes

It was a great experience. Our guide from Egypt did an excellent job explaining everything and showing us around.

Helpful? Yes

We booked a tour at short notice yesterday evening for today. Since our mother tongue is German, we were a bit skeptical about understanding everything in English. However, we were picked up on time in the morning and warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Mustafa. I can only say thank you very much for this wonderful day. As Austrians, we understood his English very well, as he speaks it very clearly. I also want to thank him for the great photos he took of us. It was truly a fantastic tour and 100% worth it. Many thanks!

Helpful? Yes

Good communication with OceanAir Travel from start to finish. The pick-up time was well communicated.

I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone! ????

Helpful? Yes

This was undoubtedly the best tour we've ever had. Our guide, Mustafa, was exceptional. He provided us with profound insights into Arabic culture and daily life in the Emirates. The tour was well-paced and thoroughly organized. We started with a visit to the Louvre Museum, where we learned about the stunning architecture of the building. Then, at the Corniche, Mustafa captured some splendid photos of us with the Abu Dhabi skyline in the background. Our journey continued to the top floor of Etihad Tower, offering us a breathtaking view of Abu Dhabi from above. We also explored the interiors of the Presidential Palace and the Grand Mosque, with Mustafa detailing the architecture and history of these remarkable structures. The lunch was a delicious three-course meal that we thoroughly enjoyed. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mustafa for such an incredible experience; we didn't just see beautiful sights but gained a deep understanding of each place we visited, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you, my friend. May God bless you, and we hope to see you again. Lucas and Natalia

Incredible experience! While the sites themselves are impressive, it's the exceptional hospitality, kindness, insight, and knowledge of our guide, Yusuf, that set this tour apart from others.

The tour was flawlessly organized, even navigating road closures smoothly and ensuring everyone adhered to cultural dress codes by providing the necessary attire.

After a short drive between the various palaces, we arrived at the stunning Mosque. Before entering, we had a delicious lunch at the Heritage Restaurant inside the mall near the mosque.

Shawky is an amazing guide! The lunch was delicious, with a buffet offering plenty of choices. This Abu Dhabi trip was a success—the Royal Palace and Mosque are truly incredible! I also learned a lot about the UAE's history and culture during this tour.

Helpful? Yes

The mosque tour was great, and our guide, Zeeshan, provided excellent insights throughout. Unfortunately, the palace tour was cancelled due to a government notice. There are plenty of restaurants near the mosque for lunch, so you don't necessarily need to opt for the lunch package.

It was a wonderful day with Ebrahim—he provided so much valuable information about the UAE, the sheikhs, and their vision. When the Presidential Palace was closed, it wasn't an issue at all, as we were switched to the Louvre Museum, which was beautiful! Thank you for such a memorable day!

Hamza is a GREAT guide. He made the day truly special. I would highly recommend the trip in general, but I’d also suggest joining a group with Hamza!

I took a day trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, and everything was well-organized, from the hotel pick-up to visiting all the attractions. I really enjoyed Abu Dhabi, especially as it was my first visit to the city. Our guide was excellent, providing detailed explanations and information throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this trip to others who are planning to visit Abu Dhabi and have one day to spare.

Helpful? Yes

The guide, Seed, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and truly passionate about his job and country, which came through in his commentary. He was incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially as I was dealing with a hip issue, and he did everything he could to make me comfortable. The sights were amazing, and we were lucky to visit the Palace when there were no crowds, allowing us to enjoy it at its best.

My husband and I were left in awe of the city and all that we experienced. The tour company was punctual, and our guide (whom I sadly can’t remember the name of) was wonderfully considerate and patient, sharing many insightful details with the group. Although I would have liked more time at the mosque, I fully recognize the time constraints. 10/10 for us!

My husband and I chose OceanAir Travels for two consecutive days of tours. The first day, we booked a camel safari tour from Dubai, as they were the only company offering a longer camel ride and the ability to skip dune bashing, which we couldn’t do due to medical reasons. The safari was fantastic, and our guide, Ummer, was a huge part of that experience, helping us with anything we needed and taking amazing photos. On the second day, we took a tour of Abu Dhabi, with Hassan as our guide. The group was small, just 8 people, and Hassan’s relaxed and knowledgeable style made us all feel like old friends by the end. Like Ummer, Hassan was an expert photographer, capturing the best moments for everyone, even adding creative video shots. He’s truly a wonderful guide, and I highly recommend requesting him by name.

It was a wonderful day, and our guide, Ziad, made the tour both entertaining and fun. The locations we visited were exactly as described, but if I were to do it again, I would skip the prepaid lunch as it was a set menu. It’s better to decide what you want when you're there, especially since the lunch spot is in a mall food court with plenty of other options to choose from.

Helpful? Yes

This activity was absolutely AMAZING. The transfer was smooth, and our guide had a wealth of knowledge about Abu Dhabi. He kindly offered everyone water bottles and even took pictures for us if we wanted. We spent time at the palace, visited the Etihad Towers, had lunch, and ended the day at the Mosque. It was PERFECT! As a solo female traveler, I highly recommend this tour. It’s definitely worth your money. The places were stunning, and I would absolutely book this again. Big thanks to the drivers and the tour guide!

I had a great experience with Ocean Air Travels. First, I must commend their customer service, which always responded in under 12 hours, often within an hour. They coordinated the pickup date and time smoothly via WhatsApp. The pickup service personnel, Antony, and our amazing guide, Haseeb Khan, also communicated well. Our coach captain, Khalid, drove us safely and always had the cabin cooled when we returned. Haseeb, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about each site, providing us with cultural and political insights relevant to our visit. The lunch at a traditional Arabian restaurant with delicious food was a great touch. Thank you, Ocean Air Travels!

It was an excellent day and trip. Our guide, Ramadan, shared many valuable insights into the local daily life and culture, and he was equally knowledgeable about the history. Definitely worth doing. One suggestion would be to return via a different route in Abu Dhabi, offering more insights into the city, rather than taking the same way back. Other than that, it was highly recommended and a great day. Thanks!

Our guide was incredibly informative and helpful. All the driving was done safely, and our vehicle was very comfortable. The sites we visited and the information provided were excellent. The included lunch was tasty and interesting. I’m really struggling to find anything negative to say about the trip, but I'll try. I did fill up my camera's memory card three-quarters of the way through the trip (yes, I took lots of photos), and our guide wasn’t sure where I could buy a new one. Despite that, I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
