Heritage, art and culture across the Emirate

Culture lovers will be in their element in Abu Dhabi with this three-day itinerary that soaks up the heritage, art and culture of the UAE capital. 

Start at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the world’s largest mosques. Next, discover Wahat Al Karama, a permanent tribute to the UAE's brave soldiers and other Emiratis recognised as martyrs in the country. The final stop of day one is Heritage Village, a family-friendly spot in which to experience traditional aspects of the desert way of life. 

Start day two at Al Ain Oasis, with its still-operational traditional falaj (ancient irrigation system) and meandering pathways shaded beneath 147,000 date palms and other fruit trees. Al Jahili Fort, built in the 1890s, is next. Qasr Al Muwaiji is the final feature of the day, with this historic fort playing a major role in the history of the UAE for over a century. 

On day three, explore picturesque Qasr Al Hosn, which stands as a narrator of Abu Dhabi’s history. Manarat Al Saadiyat is the second feature of day three, encouraging visitors to channel creativity. End your tour at Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab World.
