Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, Sweihan rd, Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates
See falcons close up and learn about these beautiful birds’ importance in Bedouin culture on a 2-hour guided tour of the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital. Dedicated to caring for falcons, the hospital treats thousands of birds yearly and incorporates a museum and demonstration center. Tour the treatment rooms where sick and injured falcons are nursed, view the falconry artifacts in the museum and see the birds in flight at the aviary. If you wish, finish with a souvenir photo of a falcon perched on your arm — the perfect keepsake.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center, Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Street, 5th St, Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates
Travel along the Gulf coast to Abu Dhabi, Drive through Yas Island and pass by Ferrari world as well as passing by Yas viceroy.
Enter the courtyard and see the shining exterior surface of the mosque, made up of white Greek and Macedonian tiles. Step inside the mosque to see the world’s largest hand-woven carpet, large crystal chandeliers and glass panels studded with thousands of Swarovski crystals.
Next, take a drive along the Abu Dhabi Corniche to experience the 8-kilometer stretch of pristine waterfront up close. Admire the clean water of the harbor as you continue to the opulent Emirates Palace, the official palace of Abu Dhabi’s ruling government. Then stop by another of Abu Dhabi's landmarks, the Etihad Towers. Those who have seen the ‘Furious 7’ movie will remember the imposing tower.
The next stop will be at the Marina mall, where you can take a lunch break (at your own expenses) and dine at the mall's restaurants or enjoy the food court options.
Travel back in time and explore the history of the Emirates at the UAE Heritage Village. Visit the Abu Dhabi Museum inside the village to see some interesting specimens, such as a replica of an oasis desert village. Also visit the adjoining Sheikh Zayed Center and learn about the life of ‘father of the nation’, the late Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
After the tour, enjoy your drive back to Dubai, where you will be dropped off at your location.
