Abu Dhabi Day Tour from Dubai: Sheikh Zayed Mosque & Warner Bros. World
See Abu Dhabi’s iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, tour landmark city sights and spend the afternoon at Warner Bros. World — all on a 10‑hour guided day trip from Dubai. Practical for families and first‑time visitors, this itinerary pairs cultural architecture with indoor theme‑park thrills.
The Experience
Before You Go
Respect mosque dress code
Wear long sleeves and trousers or an abaya; women should bring a headscarf — modesty rules are strictly enforced and entry can be denied for inappropriate clothing.
Beat the heat with timing
Schedule outdoor photo stops in the morning or late afternoon to avoid peak sun and high temperatures, especially in summer months.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Water and soft drinks are provided, but carrying your own bottle helps stay hydrated during transfers and queueing at the park.
Allow time for queues at attractions
Warner Bros. World can have long lines for flagship rides; prioritize must‑see attractions early or use single‑rider options where available.
