Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Home to the fastest rollercoaster on the planet, this is a world that recognises your need for speed. An adrenaline rush at every corner. Feel the passion, the upbeat energy, and the thrill right here in the heart of Abu Dhabi.

Stop 2

The concept of diversity is personified in Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a majestic marvel that reveals a spectrum of architectural splendours formulating a harmonious unity between different Islamic architectural schools. The Mosque also includes a variety of post-modern architectural designs enriching its historical Islamic tastes.
The late Sheikh Zayed aimed to establish a historical Mosque, personifying the Islamic message of peace, tolerance and diversity. He intended to turn the Grand Mosque into a living reference in modern Islamic architecture linking the past with the present in a harmonious melody.
The Mosque is the fruit of Sheikh Zayed’s unique vision. The father of the UAE has created an Islamic monument, a center for Islamic sciences and an emblem of genuine Islamic values, in order to illuminate the horizons of Islamic thought rooted in tolerance, love and peace.

The colour of the building was inspired by different shades of sands found in the Arabian Desert.
