Visit Abu Dhabi Presidential Palace (Qasr Al Watan) and Souk Qaryat Al Beri

Our guide will wait for you at the port of Abu Dhabi.

Abu-Dhabi, the capital and the second most populous city in the United Arab Emirates, was founded in 1761. The elegant and modern city presents a fascinating mix of tradition and modernity.

Leaving the port of Abu Dhabi we will go to the National Palace; passing through the most beautiful street in the city called Corniche, full of trees, gardens, fountains and public squares.

Our first stop will be to make an interesting visit at the Nation Palace, Qasr Al Watan, located on the grounds of the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi.

Inside this emblematic construction we can enjoy a historic project that highlights the role of Abu Dhabi as the leading emirate of his nation.

We can see examples of Arab crafts and art and we can create traditional calligraphy on interactive screens, as well as explore centuries of knowledge in books that focus on UAE in the Qasr Al Watan library.

Currently, the Palace is the official meeting place of the Cabinet of the United Arab Emirates and the Federal Supreme Council, the highest constitutional authority in the United Arab Emirates, and is where official visits by states and world leaders are made.

After this cultural visit, we will relax at Souq Qariyat Al Beri Souk, with its wooden ceilings and traditional style: we will stop to take photos and / or do some souvenir shopping.

We will return to the port for farewell.
