Heritage Village

Step back in time and explore the UAE’s cultural roots at Heritage Village Abu Dhabi, a charming living museum that recreates the life of a traditional desert community. Located along the Corniche, this attraction offers an authentic glimpse into Bedouin traditions through reconstructed houses, palm huts, workshops, and vibrant displays of local crafts. Watch artisans weaving, pottery-making, and metalworking, stroll through a traditional souk filled with handmade goods, and see a replica falaj irrigation system. The small museum showcases jewelry, weapons, manuscripts, and artifacts that narrate the Emirati way of life. Families and culture lovers will enjoy wandering through the village, while photographers can capture stunning views of the Abu Dhabi skyline and Arabian Gulf. Whether you’re curious about history, traditions, or daily life in earlier times, Heritage Village is the perfect stop to connect with the spirit of the Emirates in the capital city.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
As the sun dips lower on the horizon, casting long shadows across the city, we transition to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This architectural masterpiece is a testament to Islamic art and culture. Witness the white marble exterior shimmering in the golden light, creating a magical spectacle. Inside, experience a serene atmosphere. Explore the world's largest hand-woven carpet, admire intricate mosaics and calligraphy, and learn about the Islamic principles reflected in the architecture. Imagine alabaster rising from desert sands, shimmering under a sapphire sky. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, with its four needle-thin minarets, pierces the heavens, echoing the clouds. Walls glimmer with mother-of-pearl and semi-precious stones. The central dome, a mosaic jewel, floats weightlessly above, promising paradise within. This Mosque is more than marble and gold. It’s a legacy of tolerance, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the boundless power of faith and human artistry.
Abu Dhabi Dates Market
  • 20m
Step into the heart of Abu Dhabi’s rich heritage at the bustling Dates Market, where tradition and flavor come alive. This vibrant souk is the city’s most famous place to shop for the UAE’s treasured fruit – dates. Rows of colorful stalls are stacked high with dozens of varieties, from the soft and caramel-like Medjool to the prized Khidri and Ajwa, each offering a unique taste of Arabian culture. As you stroll through the market, vendors invite you to sample fresh dates, dried fruits, and nuts, sharing stories about their origins and health benefits. You’ll also discover beautifully packaged dates filled with almonds, pistachios, and chocolate – perfect as gifts or souvenirs. The market is not just about shopping; it’s a cultural experience that connects you to the Emirati way of hospitality and tradition. Visiting the Dates Market is a delightful journey for your senses, making it a must-see stop to truly savor Abu Dhabi’s authentic flavors.
The Corniche (Pass by)
Enjoy a scenic drive along Abu Dhabi’s stunning Corniche, a picturesque waterfront stretching for miles along the Arabian Gulf. As you pass by, admire the glittering skyline with its modern skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and landscaped gardens set against turquoise waters. The Corniche is a favorite leisure spot for locals and visitors, with pristine beaches, cycling tracks, and palm-lined promenades. This relaxing drive offers panoramic views that capture the city’s blend of modern elegance and coastal charm, making it an unforgettable highlight of your tour.
