This full-day journey from Dubai to Abu Dhabi takes you deep into the UAE’s cultural capital, a city of domes, design, and dazzling contrasts.
We begin at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, where you’ll self-wander beneath the museum’s striking dome, a feat of architecture that casts a rain of light across galleries filled with global art. You’ll have dedicated time to enjoy a bite at the museum’s grab-and-go café (lunch not included).
Then it’s on to Qasr Al Watan, the Presidential Palace, where white stone courtyards and sweeping arches open into spaces reserved for official ceremonies and visiting dignitaries.
The day ends at the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a vision in white marble, floral mosaics, and crystal chandeliers. It’s one of the world’s largest mosques and a masterpiece of spiritual and architectural beauty.
You'll return to Dubai with a camera full of stunners and a deeper connection to the UAE’s story, one told through art, ambition, and breathtaking design.

It was a wonderful experience. Nada picked us up from our hotel lobby. We traveled to Abu Dhabi in a comfortable van. On our way there, Nada shared with us many interesting facts about UAE history and culture. We visited Abu Dhabi Louvre, Presidential Palace, and Grand Mosque. Nada took us to a very authentic local restaurant for lunch. We really enjoyed this trip. In addition to Abu Dhabi trip, we also had two guided tours with Nada in Dubai to see old and new Dubai. Nada is an excellent tour guide! All activities were very well planned and thought through! We never had to wait for anything. We are going to recommend Nada to all our friends.

Dubai and our guide Nada were one of the best tours I've been on, and I have traveled over 80 countries. Nada speaks perfect English with no accent and her knowledge of the UAE was so informative. (wanderwithnada.com) if you want to see and learn about Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the UAE. The month of March is a great time to see this country because it is not too hot, yet. Be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes and clothing. I left the UAE with a better understanding and appreciation of the Muslim religion and culture.

This was a top notch experience with a really knowledgeable and friendly guide. Nada knows her stuff, answers all questions now just about the sites or attractions but about life in Dubai as week. Very positive experience at both the Mosque in Abu Dhabi as well as the old city in Dubai tour, equally excellent. highly recommended

Prior to the trip with Nada, I thought Dubai was like Vegas-flashy but with no soul. She helped me see parts of the city I never would have-giving me cultural tips (my favorite is she explained the womens and mens clothing and differences by actually trying them on!) and knew the right places to take pictures and meet people. This was no ordinary trip-it honestly felt like being shown around by a great friend. She is smart, funny, and a great conversationalist over a traditional arabic dinner or coffee. Everything also ran seemlessly-from museum tickets appearing out of thin air when there was a line, to a private boat across the river (picture below) that was waiting while other tourist companies had to wait and then pile 20 people into a boat. I highly recommend booking with Nada, and while she will let you steer the agenda, let her push you and show you some of the city you may not have thought interesting--you will be surprised. Can't say enough of the experience--if I left Dubai after my business trip, I would not have purposely gone back. Now I can't wait to return. Thank you Nada!
