Join us on a cultural tour of discovery through magnificent Abu Dhabi, with a closer look at two of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

After a quick photo stop to capture the grandeur of Abu Dhabi’s iconic skyline, we’ll head to our first destination: Qasr Al Watan Palace. The presidential palace of the United Arab Emirates is not only spectacular to look at, it is a celebration of the UAE’s heritage.

Made of granite and limestone, this mainly white palace is very intricately designed. Walk through the Great Hall and the extensive gardens and you cannot help but be impressed by its opulence and splendour. A 37 metre dome tops the central chamber and a magnificent chandelier includes no fewer than 350,000 pieces of crystal.

From the seat of state power to the realm of the spiritual; our second stop is the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Rising out of beautifully manicured gardens and tranquil pools, the mosque’s architecture is a carefully considered combination of Middle Eastern styles. Covering more than 30 acres, it is the country’s largest mosque and boasts 1,000 pillars supporting 82 marble domes and four minarets.

Keep your cameras close at hand as you enjoy a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Abu Dhabi’s cultural legacy.
