Abu Dhabi Full-Day: Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Emirates Palace & Ferrari World
Spend ten hours moving between the sacred and the spectacular: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace, Heritage Village, the Corniche and full access to Ferrari World. This balanced Abu Dhabi day tour offers cultural depth and adrenaline-packed fun on Yas Island.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress modestly for the mosque
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees; women should bring a headscarf—loaned abayas are sometimes available but it’s faster to bring your own.
Stay hydrated
Carry a refillable water bottle—temperatures can spike and there are long outdoor transfers between stops.
Plan for queues at Ferrari World
Bring patience for popular rides and check height restrictions in advance to avoid disappointment.
Carry local ID and cash
Have your passport or ID and small dirhams for market purchases; some stalls are cash-preferred.
