About this experience
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, is ranked as one of the best cities to live in, and it was recognized as the safest city in the world for 2019. Abu Dhabi is just a two-hour drive from one of the busiest cities in the world—Dubai. Compared to Dubai, Abu Dhabi has a calm pace, avoiding the needless hustle and bustle of larger cities. However, this does not mean that the world-class city lags in modern lifestyle or infrastructure; in fact, Abu Dhabi is continually changing and growing. The city is preparing for the future with projects such as Masdar City—the city of the future. A tour of Abu Dhabi will be a fun-filled experience, welcoming you with the largest handmade handloom carpet in Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Etihad Towers, Emirates Palace Hotel, Qasr Al Watan, and more.

Its materials came from Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan, and Egypt, among other Islamic countries, resulting in a radiant architectural marvel with an impressive capacity of 40,000 worshippers and visitors.
