Reserve your spot on the Full Day Abu Dhabi City Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Dress for the mosque
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees; women will need a headscarf for mosque entry — many tours provide loaner abayas.
Hydrate and carry water
Carry a refillable water bottle; heat and walking can dehydrate you quickly during midday stops.
Protect against sun
Sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen make photo stops and Corniche walks more comfortable.
Keep time for lunch
Lunch on Yas Island is typically self-pay; plan 45–60 minutes to eat without rushing.
Comfortable walking shoes
Good soles and breathability help on mosque floors, promenades, and hotel lobbies.
