How the day runs

We collect you from your hotel lobby in Dubai in the morning. The drive to Abu Dhabi takes around ninety minutes along the coast. The mosque comes first, while the light is best and before the crowds build. The rest of the day moves along the Corniche and out to the islands, and you are back at your hotel in Dubai in the evening.

The tour is flexible. If you would rather spend longer at one stop and skip another, tell the driver on the day and he will rearrange it.
