Abu Dhabi City Sightseeing Tour - The Arabian Jewel

Discover the wonders of Abu Dhabi, capital of the Emirates, known as the Arabian Jewel. On the way to Abu Dhabi you will pass by Jebel Ali Port, which is the biggest man-made port in the world.

On arrival the first destination is the Women's Handicraft Center. Admire the amazing dexterity and skill of local women making traditional handicrafts. This center was established to provide training and job opportunities for women in the region, as well as preserve and protect the local heritage.

You continue to the city through the well laid out roads, surrounding lush greenery, beautiful parks, and rows and rows of trees until you reach Abu Dhabi's oldest building, Al Husn Palace built in the 18th century.

Enjoy a magnificent view of this modern city after driving along the beautiful Corniche to the Breakwater. You then visit the Heritage Village and journey to the past to explore the life before oil was discovered.

Before returning to Dubai/Sharjah, tour the Dhow Yard where wooden ships are still being built using simple tools and techniques handed down through many generations, all without blue prints!
