Book morning or late-afternoon slots
Arrive early or late to avoid the midday crowds and to get the best light under the dome; pickup windows can be tight during peak hours.
Respect dress and photography rules
Wear modest attire in deference to local customs and check gallery signs—some exhibits prohibit flash or photography.
Bring a light layer
Gallery air-conditioning can be chilly compared with the outside heat, so pack a thin jacket even on hot days.
Allow time for pickup and traffic
Pickup and drop-off simplify transit but build in extra time for Abu Dhabi traffic, especially during Friday prayers and holidays.
Comfortable walking shoes
Hard floors and several galleries mean comfortable, supportive shoes make the visit more pleasant.
Light layer or scarf
Indoor air-conditioning is strong year-round; a light layer helps in cooler galleries.
