Arabian Tour Packages | Desert Safari & Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai 
Start From 150 / Adult
Abu Dhabi is more than a city — it’s a mosaic of cultures, architecture, and faiths. While most visitors know it for the grandeur of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque or the luxury of Emirates Palace, the capital has recently added a new landmark to its list: the BAPS Hindu Mandir.
This full-day tour from Dubai is thoughtfully designed to include both the traditional highlights of Abu Dhabi and a visit to the newly inaugurated Hindu temple, offering a complete and balanced experience of the city’s spiritual and cultural fabric.
Whether you’re a curious traveler, a family seeking educational value, or someone with a deep interest in interfaith harmony, this tour gives you a well-rounded view of Abu Dhabi's soul.
The day begins with a hotel pickup from your location in Dubai or Sharjah. The drive to Abu Dhabi takes just under two hours and offers scenic views of the desert, the coastline, and parts of the rapidly developing UAE infrastructure along Sheikh Zayed Road.
Our experienced driver-guide sets the tone with light commentary, pointing out landmarks and giving an introduction to what lies ahead.
This is always the first major stop of the day. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is not just a place of worship but a symbol of peace, tolerance, and architectural brilliance. The mosque is made from pristine white marble and features detailed floral patterns, crystal chandeliers, and a courtyard that seems to stretch endlessly under the sky.
Guided visits are available inside the mosque, where dress codes are respectfully enforced. Women are required to cover their heads and arms; abayas are provided upon request.
Next, the tour heads to the Abu Dhabi Corniche, a waterfront promenade that reflects the city’s love for balance—between green parks, family spaces, and luxury living. The view of the Gulf from here is uninterrupted, and it's a popular photo stop for travelers looking to capture Abu Dhabi’s modern skyline.
Though access to the inside is limited, a photo stop outside Emirates Palace is enough to appreciate its scale and opulence. Known worldwide as one of the most luxurious hotels, its architecture and landscaped exterior have become iconic symbols of the city.
Qasr Al Watan, also known as the Presidential Palace, is another stunning example of contemporary Arabic design. This stop is included as a quick photo opportunity, though you can request an entry ticket if you wish to explore the inside (additional fee applies).
The Heritage Village gives visitors a window into life in the UAE before the oil boom. This replica village includes mud-brick homes, old irrigation systems, a small museum, and a traditional market. It’s a good optional stop for travelers interested in the region’s past.
If time allows, a brief stop at Marina Mall or the dates market gives you a chance to shop for local sweets, premium Emirati dates, and souvenirs.
In 2024, the UAE made history by opening the first traditional Hindu stone temple in Abu Dhabi — the BAPS Hindu Mandir. Built entirely using traditional hand-carved sandstone and marble, the temple is a tribute to spiritual openness and cultural unity in a diverse nation.
Located in Abu Mureikhah near Al Rahba, this serene space offers stunning craftsmanship, peaceful courtyards, and a welcoming environment for people of all faiths.
A respectful and peaceful atmosphere open to all visitors
Detailed carvings and architectural work based on ancient Indian traditions
Separate spaces for prayer, meditation, and cultural understanding
Multilingual signage and volunteers offering information
Gift shop and vegetarian café on the premises
The visit usually lasts between 45 to 60 minutes, allowing time for photos, exploration, and quiet reflection.
While many tour packages focus only on the traditional or luxurious sides of Abu Dhabi, this one bridges the gap between heritage and diversity. Adding the Hindu Temple to the itinerary shows the inclusive identity of the UAE and its efforts to welcome all cultures and beliefs.
This isn’t just a sightseeing tour. It’s a curated experience that covers Islamic architecture, Emirati tradition, urban beauty, and Hindu spirituality — all in a single, well-paced day.
