Abu Dhabi private day tour: Sheikh Zayed, Emirates Palace & Ferrari World

The Experience
Before You Go
Dress conservatively for the mosque
Women and men should cover shoulders and knees; women may be required to wear an abaya provided on site — plan clothing accordingly.
Hydrate and time your park visit
Carry water and visit Ferrari World during midday to avoid the hottest outdoor periods between stops.
Carry original ID or passport
A current passport is required on the day of travel and may be checked at attractions and for transfers.
Reserve pick-up details in advance
Confirm pickup location and time—tour operators run from both Dubai and Abu Dhabi and schedules hinge on traffic and port/cruise timings.
Local Knowledge

Conservation Note
The emirate manages coastal and desert conservation programs, including mangrove protection and Arabian oryx reintroduction; visitors should conserve water and avoid disturbing wildlife.
Abu Dhabi grew from pearling and trading settlements; oil revenue in the mid-20th century accelerated its transformation into the UAE’s political and economic center.
