Mina Fish Market

Fishing has a long-standing history in Abu Dhabi, and a trip to the Al Mina Fish Market, which is the country's oldest, must be on your itinerary. Emiratis used to rely heavily on fisheries, and while this is no longer the case, this local market continues to provide a surplus of seafood to the city.

5

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

This iconic religious symbol is as stunning on the outside as it is on the inside. The grandiose mosque, which houses the world's largest crystal chandelier and the world's longest hand-knitted carpet, was named after the founding father of UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The architecture enthusiasts will have a time of their life here! The designs are one of a kind!

Sir Bani Yas Island

Sir Bani Yas Island, once the Arabian Peninsula's largest nature refuge, is located 170 kilometres southwest of Abu Dhabi. The reserve, which was founded in 1977 by the founding father, now houses thousands of animals such as giraffes, gazelles, and oryxes, which allows them to freely roam the grounds. During your tour here, have an eye out for the Nestorian Christian monastery, which dates back from 600 BCE and is one of the oldest sites here.
