Abu Dhabi's rich past meets its ambitious future on this guided tour. Leaf through the city's historical roots at Qasr Al Hosn to the present-day splendor of Qasr Al Watan. Traditional Arabic crafts, a coffee ceremony and delicious local lunch add to the authentic cultural experience of this tour. Hend, one of our local expert guides says 'Despite their difference in age, both these landmarks embody the essence of Abu Dhabi and are dedicated to promoting Arab craftsmanship and heritage.'
Begin your adventure at the imposing Qasr Al Hosn, where the city's history from a humble fishing village to a thriving metropolis comes alive. Leaf through artefacts, photos and interactive displays of this mighty fortress and explore the House of Artisans, a true cultural treasure. 'Here, you'll see the artistry of our ancestors through Al-Sadu weaving – a UNESCO-listed practice – seacrafts, colorful Talli embroidery, and more,' says Hend.
Savor a traditional lunch in a local restaurant, then prepare to be amazed by Qasr Al Watan. Its intricate geometric patterns, radiant white domes and symbolic elements reflect Arab architectural prowess and visionary outlook. Inside this presidential palace, the Grand Hall and library await, crowned by the Spirit of Collaboration room's chandelier – a spectacle of 350,000 crystals. The tour also introduces you to the Bait Al Gahwa. Translating to coffee house, you'll get a first-hand view of a traditional Arabic coffee preparation ceremony.
