With its beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels, rich cultural heritage, and endless entertainment options, Abu Dhabi has something to offer everyone. Here is a list of the ultimate activities to do in Abu Dhabi, guaranteed to make your trip unforgettable.
The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is a stunning example of Islamic architecture. It is widely regarded as one of the city's top tourist attractions. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the biggest mosque and it has spectacular domes as well as columns, enormous chandeliers coated with 24-carat gold, and indeed the largest hand-made carpet in the world. Visitors who do not practise Islam are welcome to visit the mosque, and guided cultural excursions are available on a regular basis.
Visitors who are interested in experiencing Emirati culture in its original form will find that the souks are among the best places to go. The atmosphere at these thronging marketplaces is quite traditional, and the souks sell a unique selection of goods. These goods include luxurious rugs and carpets, perfumes and souvenirs, as well as exotic veggies and fruits. If you're willing to haggle, the souks in Abu Dhabi are the best place to locate one-of-a-kind treasures, such as exquisite handicrafts and traditional fragrances from Arabic countries, for a low price. However, these areas tend to be very busy and crowded. While there are many luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi to choose from, for those who prefer a more secluded experience away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the hotels like Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Sahel Villa Resort are recommended, as they offer guests the chance to relax in tranquil surroundings.
This section of the Presidential Palace of the United Arab Emirates is another fantastic destination for anyone interested in culture. This is one of the best sites to visit here in Abu Dhabi if you want to get a feel for the history and culture of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Discover the remarkable diplomatic presents that have been offered to the United Arab Emirates as you take in the architectural splendour of the Great Hall. Moreover, familiarise yourself with the layouts of the traditional majlis including the presidential dinner hall.
It is recommended that you pay a visit to Heritage Village if you are interested in engaging in cultural pursuits while in Abu Dhabi. This historical site is located in the heart of the nation's capital and has a bustling souk, an ancient mosque, and a camp that was established in the time before modernisation. Discover the history of this classic oasis community and have a look at the historic Bedouin tents as well as palm leaf homes. Watch as master craftspeople demonstrate their abilities in areas such as weaving, glass blowing, and spinning.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi is yet another cultural landmark and it displays stunning artwork from a variety of time periods and civilisations. The exhibitions of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, which is situated on Saadiyat Island, are broken up into a total of twelve galleries.
