Sheikh
Zayed Grand Mosque
The beautiful Sheikh
Zayed Grand Mosque is Abu Dhabi's landmark building. The mosque fuses
Mameluke, Ottoman and Fatamid design elements to create a harmonious and
thoroughly modern mosque that celebrates Islamic architecture. Artisans utilized
glass-work, mosaic tiling and intricate carvings to spectacular effect on both
the interior and exterior. It was opened in 2007 after nearly 20 years of
construction.
Desert
Safari
A
trip to Abu Dhabi should include a visit to see the desert just outside the
city, where some of the tallest sand dunes in the world loom against a bright
blue sky. Watch people sand-board down the dunes or enjoy a ride weaving in
utility vehicles up and down the dunes. Desert farms house racing camels, and
Bedouin tents set up in the desert host barbecue dinners at night.
Ferrari
World
The
world’s first Ferrari-branded and largest indoor theme park is home to a
winning mix of Ferrari inspired rides and attractions, the biggest Ferrari
Store and a range of authentic Italian dining options, so there’s plenty of
choice for the whole family!

Heritage
Village
Abu
Dhabi's Heritage
Village is an authentic replica of a
typical Bedouin encampment that gives an idea of typical Emirati life before
the oil boom. It's located in a pretty beach area of the city, which is a
pleasant place to wander after a visit. Heritage Village is run by the Emirates Heritage
Club and there are
exhibits featuring traditional day-to-day objects, as well as introducing local
agriculture and the pearl diving trade - the main economies here.
Liwa Oasis
Emirates Park Zoo
This excellent zoo makes for
a fun day out, only a short drive from Abu Dhabi. There is a host of animals at
the wildlife park, including rare white tigers, giraffes, and elephants. There
is also a primate section with many different types of monkeys, and a flamingo
park with a sea lion enclosure. At the petting zoo, children can touch and feed
domestic breeds of animals.
Al Ain Oasis
In
the heart of Al Ain, near Al Ain National Museum, this impressive oasis is filled with palm plantations,
many of which are still working farms. The cool, shady walkways transport you
from the heat and noise of the city to a tranquil haven; all you'll hear is
birdsong and the rustle of the palm fronds.
The date palm oasis is one of a growing number of ecosystems that have been formally recognised by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) for their importance as repositories of genetic resources, biodiversity and cultural heritage.
