This tour showcases some of the amazing new developments within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
A panoramic drive takes you across Saadiyat Island and Yas Island -- two newly-developed, trailblazing destinations that are home to the prestigious Yas Marina F1 Circuit and the exciting Ferrari World theme park. You'll pause at the latter for photos.
Visit Masdar City, whose name means 'the source'. This commercial enterprise with a $20-billion budget offers an insight into how Abu Dhabi -- one of the world's leaders in energy production -- is investing in the future to become a source for knowledge and innovation in the areas of renewable energy and green technology.
A leisurely drive takes you along the glittering tower-lined Corniche. The view from here inspires Abu Dhabi's 'Manhattan of the Middle East' nickname. Don't miss seeing Qasr Al Hosn -- the oldest and most significant building in Abu Dhabi. The city's first permanent structure was Qasr Al Hosn's watchtower. Built around the 1790s, the commanding structure watched over the costal trade routes and protected the growing settlement established on the island. It is now a museum.
You will stop at the Jumeirah Etihad Towers. Rising majestically from its beachside setting, the dramatic sculptural form and spectacular design set a new standard for luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi. Located on Level 74, the Observation Deck at 300 is the highest vantage point in Abu Dhabi, and offers simply stunning views across the city and Arabian Gulf. Enjoy the 'highest' high tea in Abu Dhabi, as you sit back and take in one of the finest views in the Middle East.
From here, you will drive back to the port.
