You’ll also get to experience the culture of Abu Dhabi at Heritage Village, a recreation of traditional desert life that gives visitors an idea of what daily life was like before oil fundamentally changed the region’s landscape.
Next, you’ll visit the Emirates Palace, a luxury hotel that has become an iconic symbol of the UAE and embodies the idea of opulence and luxury. You’ll have the chance to walk around the interior of this remarkable building before taking pictures from the outside. You’ll also see the Presidential Palace, which is used for official government functions and events. After that, you’ll head over to Qasr al Hosn, a historic old stone building that is a national landmark and an important part of the country’s history and culture.
Finally, you’ll have some free time to spend at the Abu Dhabi Mall, which is one of the city’s biggest shopping centers and features a wide variety of international and local luxury brands. You’ll also have the option to visit Ferrari World or Yas Island if you wish, which are two of the most popular theme parks in the country and are perfect for those who want to get some adrenaline pumping. After a full day of exploring, you’ll be returned to the port in style and ready for your journey back to Dubai.
