    Review of: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center
    Awesome mosque!
    The architecture is definitely magnificent to visit! I would complain though that we need to buy / bring instead of borrowing the dress before we could enter, and the shops nearby were just asking for ridiculous prices... Hopefully it is only temporary or maybe the mosque could consider selling its own branded outfit at a fixed and more affordable price?

    Review of: Louvre Abu Dhabi
    As good as the mosque.
    My primary reason for taking a day tour of Abu Dhabi from Dubai was to see the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. It was a blazing hot day so we were also looking for another indoor activity to do and the Louvre museum fit the bill. I have seen the Louvre in Paris and so wasn't expecting much. Boy was I wrong.

    The Abu Dhabi Louvre is a world class museum in its own right and we were very glad we went. Plus the architecture was amazing. This was just as good as the mosque and a must do while in Abu Dhabi.

    Review of: Yas Marina Circuit
    FREE Bike Hire and Ride Wednesday Evening
    We visited the circuit to hire bikes and cycle the circuit on a Wednesday evening, unfortunately when we arrived there were no helmets left so we had to pay to hire some. There were road and mountain bikes available and we enjoyed completing several laps, you're able to ride, walk or run the 5km track from 7.30pm. An excellent activity which the children really enjoyed.

    Review of: The Corniche
    Just Amazing!
    This is one of the most beautiful Corniche I have ever seen, the landscape is perfect and of a very high standard, the views are wonderful, the place is very safe, no one will bother you, you could have a walk, or just relax and enjoy it, just a tip to avoid going there during weekends or public holidays, because it can get very crowded.

    Review of: Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
    Overall good for young children
    To be honest, after reading the reviews I was a bit apprehensive to go to this theme park but I have to admit that I was wrong.

    I thought with the heat, it might be a good idea to go late afternoon but this was absolutely not necessary! The whole theme park is indoors and air conditioned, so any time you go you’ll be alright.

    We went on an off season time and didn’t wait longer than 5 minutes in any of the queues. We finished the whole park in like 3 hours and had time to try some of the rides for a second or third time.

    The staff are lovely, polite, and go above and beyond to look after you and make sure your little ones have a good time. My 10-year-old boy had a really good time.

    The only reason I gave it a four star is that it’s fairly small. It’s like 20% the size of Alton Towers.

    Minding you, without proof of negative COVID test you cannot enter so have your certificate handy.

    Review of: Yas Mall
    Wonderful shopping mall .
    A wonderful shopping mall, I am rating it as the top mall in Abu Dhabi , located in the beautiful Yas island close to the airport and formula circle, very large in size and nicely decorated, it has a variety of shops and restaurants, clean and amazing, I just wish that they provide self driven electric wheelchairs for the people with special needs which are not available.

    Review of: Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital
    Up Close and Personal with Amazing Birds
    Absolutely the best thing we did in Abu Dhabi, hands down. If you have any desire to learn more about Falcons and Falconry this is a must-do. Our guide, Hassan, was incredibly knowledgeable but just as importantly, funny! He was able to keep a crowd that spoke at least four different languages, engaged for the entire tour. It was amazing to be up close and personal to witness a bird “pedicure” and also to watch a feeding from very close up. Even watching a surgery in action was amazing and shows how much these birds are really cared for.

    I can’t say it enough: do this tour!

    Review of: Corniche Beach
    Corniche Beach
    One of the best beaches where i have had the oportunity to bathe and enjoy during the time I live in Khalidiya has been on the corniche beach. Really a quiet beach, celan and relatively close even to get there walk.
    Perphaps the only thing that the beach lacks to be more comfortable is to have some umbrellas in the public area to cover yourself from the sun.
    My husband and I used to train for triathlon swimming there al 6 am.

    Review of: Marina Mall
    Nice mall
    Made a quick trip here. Many stores to chose from. The area is beautiful with so much to do if the mall is not your thing. Walking around the area if you have the time would be worth it.
