Beschrijving
Explore Abu Dhabi's new cultural icons on a private guided tour from Dubai. Visit Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum, then finish at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Start your day with pickup from your hotel or residence in Dubai and a comfortable drive to Abu Dhabi in a private air-conditioned vehicle. On the way, your licensed guide shares the story of how the UAE grew from small desert settlements into a modern nation.
Your first stop is the brand-new Guggenheim Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, this striking building with its tall cones is home to modern and contemporary art from the 1960s to today. Wander through the galleries at your own pace and admire the architecture inside and out.
Next, walk over to the Zayed National Museum in the same cultural district. Discover the history of the land and its people, from ancient times to the founding of the UAE, and learn about the life and vision of the country's founding father, Sheikh Zayed.
After a break for lunch (at your own expense), continue to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world. Walk through its white marble courtyards, see the hand-knotted carpet and the crystal chandeliers, and learn about Islamic architecture and Emirati culture from your guide.
In the afternoon, relax on the drive back to Dubai for drop-off at your hotel or residence.
This is a private tour, so the experience is only for you and your group of up to 6 people. Please note that the museum entry tickets are not included in the price.
