Abu Dhabi Full-Day Private Tour: Sheikh Zayed, Emirates Palace & Ferrari World
Move between marble domes, palace façades and high-octane family fun on a private, full‑day Abu Dhabi drive. This guided tour balances cultural insight at Sheikh Zayed and Qasr Al Watan with relaxed photo stops and optional time at Ferrari World.
The Experience
Before You Go
Respect mosque dress codes
Wear long sleeves and covered legs; women should bring a scarf for head covering when required inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Start early for photos
Begin at the mosque in the morning light to avoid heat and crowds — mid‑day is best kept for indoor stops or a shaded lunch.
Hydrate and pace kids
Bring a refillable water bottle; schedule Ferrari World mid‑day if you need a climate‑controlled break for children.
Keep valuables secure
Busy malls and markets are safe but keep wallets and gear zipped; use the private car to store purchases during the day.
