The day opens with a skyline of white domes and reflecting pools — sunlight hits the mosque’s marble façade and the city hums gently behind. On a private guided tour, travelers move from the monumental calm of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque to the low-slung, latticed dome of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, crossing the city's wide boulevards and coastal causeways between two very different cultural statements.
