Begin your day with a visit to the majestic Sheikh Zayed Mosque, named after the Father of the Nation - Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The mosque’s exotic interiors are home to Swarovski crystal chandeliers, floral mosaics, and artifacts of gold, silver, and marble. The gigantic carpet in the main hall measures 60,570 Sq.ft and weighs 35 tons, made by a huge number of carpet weavers from Iran. Once you are done with the Sheikh Zayed mosque tour, then you'll be taken to the Marina Mall Abu Dhabi for lunch at your own expense.

Then you'll visit one of the landmarks of contemporary Abu Dhabi, the Etihad Towers. This tower is a complex of 5 huge skyscrapers, a destination known for world-class shopping and dining. Take an elevator to the 74th floor and enjoy panoramic views of the stunning blue sea and other exotic locations of the city like the Emirates Palace and the Presidential palace.

After the Etihad towers visit, next up is a trip to the latest Qasr Al Watan, proclaimed as “more than just a palace” and journey into the region’s rich Arabic Heritage and its foundations. You can enter the palace’s library and witness the rare collection of books that explain the past, present, and future of the region.
