What To Expect
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center
Explore one of the world’s largest mosques on a half-day tour, the only mosque that captures unique interactions between Islam and world cultures. Sheikh Zayed's vision for the Grand Mosque was to incorporate architectural styles from different Muslim civilizations and celebrate cultural diversity by creating a haven that is truly diverse and inspirational in its foundation.
Etihad Towers
(Photo Stop) - The towers are located opposite the Emirates Palace hotel and feature offices, apartments and a hotel. The towers were used as a filming location for the 2015 film Furious 7. In the film, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) steal a Lykan HyperSport and drive it through three of the towers.

4.00Nice way to see Abu Dhabi when pressed for time. Do note that the duration on viator differs from that which the tour operator goes by (6 vs the advertised 5).
Premium is different! Tour description incorrect - no goodwill

1.00Contacting the company was already proving difficult. Only after 3x inquiries we received a feedback at the pick-up time in the hotel. The night before the tour at 22:30 we were told when we would be picked up the next morning. We received information about the dress code of the mosque. On request we received the information that no abaya will be provided for the ladies. We'd have to buy these at the mall in front of the mosque. The description does not say that the clothing is not provided. This is not mentioned in the list of additional costs not included. The description says: "The tour operator cannot provide any clothing for men". This means that the men do not receive any clothing and thus conversely the women do. When we brought this to the attention of the provider, it was insisted that it was clearly communicated and we had to get the clothes ourselves. Few non-Muslim women have an abaya in their wardrobe. When we then asked to give us a refund, it was insisted that the 24h cancellation had passed. This is despite the fact that we told them that the description is not true. Goodwill and customer friendliness are different for us. So we had to pay for the tour, even though the operators incorrectly advertised their description. The excuse: It is an impossibility to provide abaya for the ladies, since the sizes of the clothing are not known. For a few euros more you can book a tour where the abaya is provided and in addition a guide accompanies the tour. Thus, the other providers manage to provide abayas, except this one. The money is gone, the desire for the trip is gone too and we didn't see anything for it.
