Activity itinerary

Fossil Dunes Abu Dhabi

  • 1h 30m
"Explore the Enigmatic Alwathba Fossil Dunes Journey back in time to discover the remarkable storey of Alwathba Fossil Dunes in Abu Dhabi. These captivating dunes, with their unique geological history, hold secrets dating back millions of years when this land was submerged beneath the sea. As the eons passed, sands and sediments settled at the ocean's floor, mingling with calcium carbonate. Over time, the relentless forces of heat and pressure transformed them into solid rock. When the waters receded, the dunes were sculpted by the gentle caress of the winds, creating the captivating architectural marvels we see today. Please note that during the holy month of Ramadan (March to April), visiting hours at Alwathba Fossil Dunes are restricted to the evening hours. The site will be closed during the first half of the day. We kindly request our guests to take this into consideration when planning their visit.

Al Wathba Salt Lake (Sabkha)

  • 1h
Nestled in the Al Bihouth region of Abu Dhabi, Al Wathba Lake is a captivating man-made saltwater lake. Its unique emerald-colored salt base is a result of a network of pipelines that guide water flow into the lake. This distinctive setting has been adorned with the touch of 13 distinct campaigns, enhancing its beauty and making it an enticing destination, especially for those who choose to stay and experience its allure under the night sky."

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center

  • 1h 30m
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the largest mosque in the UAE, stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity. It ranks among the world's largest mosques and is a magnificent fusion of diverse Islamic architectural traditions. This grand edifice boasts an impressive array of features, including 82 majestic domes, over 1,000 stately columns, resplendent 24-carat-gold gilded chandeliers, and the world's largest hand-knotted carpet. During Eid, this cultural masterpiece draws the admiration of over 41,000 visitors who come to witness its grandeur."
