Abu Dhabi · Itinerary
Abu Dhabi in a weekend
Two days let you combine culture and leisure: museums and the mosque on the first day, islands and the waterfront on the second.
Essential information
- Getting there
- A private driver on both days.
- Time to allow
- Two days for the capital's main landmarks; a third day is worthwhile to include Al Ain.
Day 1: culture
Morning at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Then head to Saadiyat Island and spend the afternoon at Louvre Abu Dhabi, which recommends booking in advance.
Day 2: nature and leisure
Start early at the Jubail mangroves, with boardwalks and kayaking. In the afternoon, go to Yas Island, where access is free and the parks have their own tickets.
End the day on the Corniche or with dinner at Emirates Palace.
How High Class organises it
A private driver on both days, museum and park bookings, and a licensed guide where it makes sense.
Opening times, tickets and access rules change through the year. The High Class team confirms everything for your date on WhatsApp before the programme is booked.
