| The Abu Dhabi City
Tour takes you around the capital city of the United
Arab Emirates (UAE), which is located on an island
connected to the mainland by two bridges.
Travelling from Dubai, the tour
takes approximately two hours before arriving at
Abu Dhabi City. Along the way, we will pass the
Jebel Ali Port & Free Zone, which is the largest
man-made port in the world, as well as the Shatti
Palace. After arriving in the capital, you will
find it filled with skyscrapers, and is sometimes
referred as the Manhattan of the Middle East. Even
with all of the development in the city, tourists
will still find alot of fascinating sights to see.
We will visit the Petroleum Exhibition and the Heritage
Village, which is then followed by a drive along
the beautiful Corniche (beach) where you can take
photographs of the city skyline, Al Hisn Fort, Old
Souk (market), and the Breakwater Island. The tour
comes to an end after passing Sheikh Zayed's (president
of the UAE) palace, and visiting the Dhow (boat)
