Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
The highlight of the tour is the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. It welcomes tens of thousands of worshippers and features 82 domes, more than a thousand columns, chandeliers plated with 24 carat gold, and one of the largest hand knotted carpets in the world. The reflective pools around it add to the calm, striking setting, and you have around 1.5 hours to take it in.

Yas Island is the entertainment heart of Abu Dhabi. During your four hour stop you can choose how to spend the time. Thrill seekers can head into Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, or Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi, while others prefer to shop and dine at Yas Mall.
