Busy, contemporary shopping mall featuring well-known brands, plus a food court & restaurants.
Excellent mall. Easy access via Ring road with plenty of free parking. Variety of clothing and fashion stores and good food court as well. Air-conditioning is great in summer. You can also feel the nice smell wherever you walk and facilities are sparkling clean.

While the range of shops are great, there are quite a few boarded up places. Great range of cafes but food options are low quality and limited. Also there is only one bathroom. I had to walk from one end of the mall to the other to go to the bathroom.

It had lost its shine and importance some time back because of some unknown reasons, but now you can feel the buzz. There are a few new shops and activities. It has all the basic facilities. The salient feature of this place is that it is not too crowded. Good shops for clothes.

Qaisariah Souq
As-salaamu alaykum dear Sisters and Brothers,
Have been there twice in the last 2 years I have been living in Al Hofuf, Al-Ahsa.
It's a beautiful heritage market that has a lot of traditional Saudi things.
Its a must visit if you are in Al hofuf for the first time or moved here to stay.
There are a lot of craft items, shops for traditional clothes for adults as well as children. Lots of colourful hand crafted footwear you will never find in other parts of the city.
The entrance of the complex is very interesting as the doors and windows take you to a bygone era.
I love visiting this place and I highly recommend you visit it in a group in the evenings when the place is lite up and gives you a feel of being in a market.
Afroze Anis Nawaz — Google review
I visited the Qaisariya Al-Ahsa Souq recently and was very impressed with its size and atmosphere. The market is divided into several sections, each specializing in a different type of goods. I found everything from traditional abayas and perfumes to souvenirs and housewares.
It is a historic market located in the Al-Rafa'ah district in Al-Ahsa, east of Saudi Arabia. It is one of the oldest and largest souks in the region, and is known for its wide variety of traditional goods, including jewelry, handicrafts, textiles, spices, dried fruits, and tea.
The vendors at the souq were very friendly and welcoming. They were happy to answer my questions and help me find what I was looking for. I also appreciated the fact that the souq was clean and well-maintained.
Overall, I had a great experience at Qaisariya Al-Ahsa Souq. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in learning about traditional Saudi Arabian culture and shopping for unique souvenirs.
Here are some of the things I liked about the souq:
The wide variety of goods available
The friendly and welcoming vendors
The clean and well-maintained environment
The historical significance of the souq
I would definitely recommend Qaisariya Al-Ahsa Souq to anyone visiting Al-Ahsa. It is a great place to learn about the region's culture and to find unique souvenirs.
Here are some tips for visiting the souq:
Wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking.
Bring cash as many vendors do not accept credit cards.
Be prepared to bargain. This is a traditional part of shopping in the souq.
Take your time and explore all the different sections of the market.

Al-Qaisaryah Market isn't just a market; it's a living museum! This bustling souq has witnessed centuries of traders, from camel caravans to modern-day travelers. Every brick whispers stories of spices traded, deals struck, and laughter shared. Even today, the vibrant spirit of trade thrives within its walls.

Al Qarah Mountain is a must-visit destination with ample parking and friendly staff. The entrance fee is reasonable, offering a detailed history of the area and displaying interesting artifacts. Inside the cave, visitors can enjoy the cool atmosphere while exploring its beauty. From the hilltop, one can admire stunning views of date farms and greenery. It's an ideal place for families as kids can have fun climbing rocks and exploring the caves.
Amazing place to visit! You can take lot of pictures and the place is such a magical experience
The price is 57sar for each person.
Recommended for something unforgettable.
Make sure you use uber to get there.

This is a must visit place in Saudi Arabia. Well maintained tourist spot. There is a small museum explaining the story of civilization. The temperature inside the cave is much lesser than outside. Best time to visit the place is evening. You can see the lighting. There are trekking on Fridays it seems.
Vishnudas C. — Google review
It was my first time to visit the place. Glad that we arrived early so the line for the ticket was not long. We enjoyed the place. We shared good laugh there because of various pose we did.
The cave was divided into three areas. The first part was where we were introduced to the history of Saudi Arabia. We were able to receive souvenirs there. The second area showed artifacts about Saudi and the third part was the cave. The cave was cold inside and there were areas inside where there was no signal.
It's a good place to visit. Outside, there's various vendors and restaurants for souvenirs and food. You can dine in or eat there.

Visit to Al-Qarah was a nice experience. We loved it. There is an entrance fee of 50 riyal. They have a nice museum that can give you knowledge into the culture and events of the past. If you are someone who enjoys walking through the passages, who loves a good hike, then this place is for you. You can avail professional photography services here. Also, buy something to mark the trip like dates, handicrafts, etc.

The place has a beautiful rock formations and scenery, it was also known as Judas Cave. The place is not hot when you come inside of the cave. The cave was huge and also good for pictorial purposes. Theres a lot of people visiting the area maybe because we came on the weekend. We enjoy our visit in the area. The ticket price is not that expensive and highly recommended. Its also good to learn the story about the history and visit the place. The place was also properly preserved and clean.

My recent visit to Judas Cave in Al Hassa was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The cave was breathtakingly beautiful with its intricate rock formations and stalactites. The guided tour provided extensive information about the history and geology of the cave, adding a deeper appreciation for its natural beauty. Overall, it was a fascinating and enjoyable visit that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring the wonders of nature.

The experience is very unique and memorable. The historical presentation of the place was very good and organized. The place is clean. There is resting place, restaurant, coffe shop, souvenir shop as well as mini grocery store for anything you need for the trip to Al Qarah. The entrance fee is SAR 50 and already includes 1 souvenir photo. In case you need additional photo you can also request. The quality of the photo printing and frame is also excellent.

The place is beautiful. It is worth going to for
50SAR for entrance fee and you get to go to the museum then into the caves. But a lesser entrance fee would be better.
There are restaurants before you go to the main are which is good after going through the whole place.

It's very hot outside. And it is very cold inside the mountain. The heart is filled. You have to buy a ticket to go inside. But I didn't like their system. You have to go in groups. If you go alone or less than 10 people, it costs 57 Rials per person and if you go in a group of more than 10 people, you have to buy a ticket at 35 Rials per person.

Excellent place to visit. Parking is ample with plenty of signs to show you where to go. The staff are very friendly with tourist shops inside the reception area. Price was 75 SAR per person which is reasonable. Inside is a short but very detailed history of the area and people of importance from the region. Some nice artefacts are on display. The cave area is amazing and extremely cool once inside. Take some water as you walk round as the walk to and from can be quite hot. Highly recommended.

Al Qarah is a mountain located in the Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. It is known as the ‘Mountain of Whistling Wind’ by the locals as the wind seems to whistle when they flow through the mountain.
I have travelled from bahrain to reach this place. You need to get some tickets for the entrance.
The place is surrounded by few restaurants and tea shops.
Kasun Dharmawansha — Google review
The place is quite and nice, the formation of the caves are very pretty. The kids were little terrific because of the dark, however it was very normal.
The price however doesn't justify what we had a look on. Even if you miss it, there wondering be any regrets.. but since it was something to look into hofuf we went for it.
Umair Ansari — Google review
I have been to this place couple of times before, but this was my first time traveling with my family. In the past, you could enter for free. But now there is a fee. Most importantly, i have no issues of fee but it should feel that it is worth paying.
Here is my feedback, I entered at 5pm, but it was already dark. There have been a few changes in the structure, but it's not bad because it's easy for visitors to navigate.
I will not go into the history of this place. however, it has the shape of caves, and it looks great. I recommend visiting this place at least once in your lifetime.
Ticket Price Adults - 50sr + Vat = 57.50sr
Ticket Price Kids - 10sr + Vat = 10.15sr

Must visit place for seeing the oldest caves in the region.. it is beautiful to roam around and inside the caves.. well maintained and preserved for the tourists.. also from the hill top can get the best view of Date farms and greenery around.. Kids enjoyed a lot to get into caves and climbing the rocks.. The ticket 57.5 including tax and they started taking tickets for kids also for 11.5 SAR.. But when kids enjoyed inside it is paisa wasool trip.. I recommend to visit with family..

There’s a mountain and there are caves. It is beautiful, and the place is well lit. Enter the areas further beyond the prescribed path at your own peril. Beware of its beauty and complexity if you decide to traverse further into the darkness of the cave.

Once a secluded place with no surveillance, this is now a tourist attraction with a visitor centre, paid entry, barricaded passages and CCTV monitoring.
The induction of visitor centre has ensured that the place is looked after has basic facilities for tourists (washrooms, food stalls and restaurants nearby).
It's a nice place to take visitors to KSA - they will have a good time taking snaps. There is no information to gather here, just to experience the Caves.
Its amazing to experience nature's habitat - The Caves remain cool during summers and warm during winter (all of this is natural).
A good family outing for people travelling from Dammam-Khobar. It's a drive of 1 hrs 45 mins.
There is a Park nearby and has a musical fountain in evening (closed sometimes tho).
Marjan Island, also known as Coral Island, is the first artificial island in Saudi Arabia located off the Cornish road in Dammam. It's a popular tourist spot with beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. The island offers various attractions such as parks, picnic areas, children's playgrounds, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment centers. Visitors can access Marjan Island by driving across the bridge or taking a ferry ride from Dammam city.
After 7 yrs I came back to take some photos here and I was surprised and amazed cuz I missed this place way back 2016 where my work place is near to this location. Still great architecture.

A non crowded peaceful place for tourists with 360View of sea, clean and green park with huts, and boating. No restaurants only juice, tea stalls. It is better to bring your own food and snacks. For boating 20 min ride is available. A floating cafeteria is available free of charge if you purchased boat ride. Otherwise you can go to cafeteria by paying minimal charges.

The shopping mall is large with a wide variety of shops. Maybe the highest attraction, which was the reason we went there, is the amusement park on the top floor. From small children to adults, there are options for everyone. However, after a while, you might feel bored without spending all tokens. The market is quite the opposite as it doesn't look new, clean and fresh!

Overall a great place to escape & have fun with family and friends. This was private beach & resort with play area, good breakfast & a lot of other healthy activities. You can rent kayak, speed boat, paddle boat, bicycle, tricycle, etc. It had a few swimming pools too. The beach is private with just a few people around so you can have fun. Everything was really up to the mark but the villas can be cleaner. For this reason I am giving it four stars.

Let me tell you a bout a day visit on the first day of Eid al Fitr .
1-The swimming pool area was uncared that the tables and the chairs were vey dusty (some were miserably broken)we had to clean them by the wipes we brought along with us in addition to the floor around where you can see many empty bottles or thrown ice cream cups.
2- The open buffet was not that tasty and with poor variety ,for the price paid it’s shocking not finding drinks or coffee besides …really un fair.
3-disgusting toilets with broken hooks ,and unfixed hand dryers ,nor toilet paper at least.
4- The hotel allowed itself to receive a bunch of Asian “GUYS” who weren’t doing correct things in a place where families with kids are at the same time.
5-the EID program maybe was the best part but the presenter man was a bit silly with me.
It’s a pity to find a place going low, compared to the way it was ten years ago ,to this extent .

Disastrous!
I booked a family iftar and confirmed my reservation on the morning of the same day. On my arrival at their location, i went to reception and asked to give me a table. The receptionist checked and answered there is no table available. I asked him to recheck, but he insisted that it was not available. At the same time, another family approached the reception, and the same answer was given to them. As families continue to arrive, they are rejected by saying the same. In total, around 8-10 families were rejected to get the table, and surprisingly, all of them did a reservation. On getting pressure from families, the receptionist disappeared for 10 minutes. We kept waiting as other people were doing iftar, and the preak of poor ethics, nobody from the hotel staff asked any of us to drink water or break our fast.
Despite, there was no sense of apology from the staff, including the manager, and they were telling you can come another day.
When we insisted, they returned our payment in cash, as it was paid in advance.
The whole scenario took us an hour of argument and debate at the time of iftar without breaking our fast on time along with kids and females.
Iftar buffet has become a business now, and many hotels who don't understand the hospitality business are arranging iftar buffet. Therefore, be cautious to book your iftars, especially when with family or guests.

The rooms are enormous and excellent in the furnishings.
However, the emergency door between the 2 rooms is not well isolated and you feel like the next room inhabitants are staying with you.
Reception services are really slow and only one receptionist is available.
The location is far from everywhere and no markets/shops around.
Food is excellent and better than some other hotels in Al Khobar.

We stayed at this place for a quick weekend break with family, the room is ample and spacious. Breakfast price is reasonable and have enough selection for us.
This place is good but need to improve cleanliness and needs some care and cleaning particularly the beach front.

Mall of Dhahran is one of the most exciting retail propositions for Saudi Arabia. Designed on one floor, for ease of access and navigation, Mall of Dhahran presents one of the strongest retail mixes in the Kingdom.
Mall of Dhahran holds a combination of leisure, food and the country's most prominent hypermarket chain. Over 500 stores blend to provide a diverse international offer. The addition of world-class furniture franchises and several large-scale vendors has enhanced and complemented the existing mall proposition.

The first huge mall that I saw so far here in the heart of Khobar. I like this mall cos you can find many amenities to choose from such as department stores,foods and perfumes. It's huge and you don't have to worry if it's weekend visit with your families. Their parking area were spacious and the view outside, so overwhelming.

When to Mall of Dahran today, and I had some good time. It's the biggest mall in the area. The mall has everything you can think of. There are many Abayas shops also. When I was there all the restaurants and cafes were closed since it was Ramadan. I think they might open at Iftar time. I would definitely comeback.

Meh, it’s a big shopping mall but it’s so boring. It was pretty exciting before the fire, because the restaurants and amusement parks were still there, but now it’s so boring. There are only clothes shops and the food court. Could be interesting for people who like shopping for clothes and electronics but other than that not much to do. Go to Rashid mall instead!

This is one of big malls in the area with spacious parking lot you can choose that seems never full. Though i am not really sure about the construction and architecture, but somehow this mall is like a doughnut where you start from a certain gate and keep walking you will be coming to the same gate again from the opposite directions. There are so many tenants and shops to visit, from simply kids store to jewelry, from simply ice cream booth to American steak. This mall has no second floor to visit, so all things and places to go and shop will be on the ground level. As mentioned that this is one massive mall with circling vibe, better if you remember what is the closest gate to your car parked earlier. Despise the hot weather of Saudi, this place has ice skating arena that you can rent the shoes, but ticket and slide. this location is in the middle of food court so many family will be sitting here, eating and skating.
In addition to shopping and dining, the Mall of Dhahran offers a range of entertainment options to keep you entertained throughout your visit. Catch the latest blockbuster movies at the state-of-the-art cinema, or challenge your friends to a game of bowling at the bowling alley. For those seeking a bit of adventure, the mall also features an indoor amusement park with thrilling rides and attractions for all ages.The Mall of Dhahran is not just a shopping destination; it's a place where you can create lasting memories with your loved ones. With its spacious walkways, comfortable seating areas, and vibrant ambiance, it provides a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all visitors. Whether you're looking for a new outfit, a delicious meal, or simply a place to relax and unwind, the Mall of Dhahran has it all. Come and experience the ultimate shopping and entertainment destination in Dhahran.

Mall of Dhahran Blvd, Al Dawhah Al Janubiyah, Dhahran 34457, Saudi Arabia
Al Rashid Mall in Al Khobar is a large retail complex that offers an extensive range of brand-name stores, dining options, and entertainment facilities. With around 650 shops and parking capacity for 6,000 vehicles, it is one of the most popular shopping destinations in the area. Visitors can find well-known retailers and quality restaurants within the mall premises. Moreover, there is a dedicated fun center that caters to children's entertainment with rides and arcade games.
I love to shop in Rashid mall.
It's connected by grand Hyatt hotel and Radhif Hotel.
It's so easy to approach while you are staying these hotels.
Personally I love Qaisarya area on plaza floor. Very Arabic style.
Traditional Cilvilzation cafe is my favorite place for a tea.
And Sometimes center on gate 1 area for a cup of coffee. Starbucks on 2 and floor has nice view.

It's the first time for me to visit this iconic place in Khubar,,, despite the old age of this establishment but it's obvious that it still has its reputation. It's really huge according to its age, clean and has its ambiance. The variety it has is really nice. And for sure the parking lots are enough. I like it and I would surly visit it again

The food is good and well cooked. The Iraqi chicken shawarma is a food suggestion to start up your meal. Overall, the food quality is extraordinary. The issue is finding parking it is somewhat tricky. Plus, make sure to pay for it! 5 stars to Mr. Abdullali.

I’m an english motivational speaker in the entire ksa,
This mall will always be a place to visit with family.
The signature fountain ⛲️ that shoots the water upwards is functioning well.
Usually I find it inactive which made me thought it’s damaged.
As per the securities around, it has a specific timing about 1pm I guess.
The control room activates it when music is played usually,
other than that they activate it when there are rush of public for attraction or at their specific timing.
Some parts might be incorrect as I have confirmed with one security.
If you are reading this, do be sure with some regular visitors, employees or securities if you know them personally.
I hope my review is informative enough,
There’s 15% discount for my followers in one of the restaurants in the food court, stay tuned in my channel.👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

It used to be good 5-6 years ago. Now it's really boring. Some events happen here and there but other than that nothing special. There's a jarir so that's nice. The mall is pretty, enough washrooms. It's clean and good parking space. The entertainment area is OK-ish. Used to be better before. Nice restaurants here. Food courts are okay.

I understand the process than the mall is being happens, so for the moment I’ll give you 3 stars.
Because the duty times for the stores are not properly mentioned and security also has not any information as a Mall they should to have a Mall Management to give indications to the stores how to operate inside.

Al Rashid Mall in Al Khobar is an amazing place that combines modern attractions with a taste of Saudi Arabia's rich heritage. I've been there multiple times and I'm excited to share my experience with you.
The most fascinating part of Al Rashid Mall is Qaisariyat Al Rashid. It's a special area that takes you back in time. You can explore traditional Saudi shops and cafes, which offer a glimpse into the country's rich history. You can find here unique items and authentic souvenirs. It's a peaceful place where you can relax and discover interesting things or simply having an authentic Saudi breakfast. It's a bridge that connects the past with the present.
Another interesting thing in the mall is its awesome movie theater (Empire Cinema). It has comfy seats, so you can enjoy movies in a fantastic way.
The food court is yet another standout feature of this mall, offering a diverse selection of fast food options. However, it is worth mentioning that the variety of international cuisine options may be more limited in comparison.
When it comes to grocery shopping, Al Rashid Mall has you covered with Carrefour, a big and well-stocked store that makes finding all your grocery needs and offers an extensive range of products.

My recent visit to the shawarma on Hatab restaurant left me unsatisfied. The flavors were underwhelming, and the meat seemed overcooked, resulting in a dry texture. The overall dining experience didn't meet my expectations.

This mall lacks luster, a vast mall with very little footfall and shops lacks a variety of options which consequently lacks buyers.
Exclusive showrooms are less to see, there are few luxury watch brands like Omega watch boutique, Rolex Showroom and a few watch Dealers.
Seiko watches store is closed permanently for which I visited, unfortunately there's no Seiko store in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia.
Models, designs and art pieces designed need a makeover. Without regular maintenance the fountain clock shows the wrong time.

Large nature reserve & zoo featuring a variety of wildlife, birds & desert plants, plus bus tours.
Very nice place for picnic and to learn somethings about wildlife.
Plenty of fun and picnic spots, nicely illustrated signs and guides.
Fairly priced.
Covers most of the wild life animals, though you can't have everything, yet commendable job done by the government and the staff here to preserve the different species under variable weather conditions.
Recommend to everyone 👍
Goldy Sharma — Google review
We were disappointed to be honest as the place needs a LOT of improvement. They charge 2 BD per person to enter to see bunch of birds including ducks and flamingos, and if you want a gulf car tour to see the rest of the animals they charge you 10 BD which you absolutely need since there is no way you can walk for a long distance under the sun heat. Unfortunately there were only camels, zebra's and gazelles. No arabian oryx, or wild animals as advertised in the website. Whole stay took us 30 minutes.
M A — Google review
It's a wildlife park without the major predators. But that's not bad either as you will get plenty of time to see birds, fowl, goats, donkeys, zebra, lots of deer , oryx and many more to see once you go in mini safari on a buggy .it's not much but there are some good photo points like Japanese garden , play area and fun with parrots and macaques.
Over all you will find time away from electronics spend a quality time with kids .

Its a nice place to spend the afternoon/evening. They have a good collection of birds and animals which is nice to see. There are nice shady paths to walk while the afternoon sun gets too hot, the wild animal enclosure is air conditioned for visitors and there is a small shop to have snacks and drinks. Some of the animals seem under nourished and the ponds, mucky... but maybe that's how it's supposed to be. Nevertheless still a good place for all ages.
Please make note of the timings- Sat to Thu 8am to 5pm and Fridays 12:30pm to 5pm. (it is NOT updated in Google yet and we arrived early and had to wait). The timings are also slightly different for the summer and winter. In summer it closes an hour early.

I know that the Supreme Council for Environment Health, under which this wildlife park is placed, will not tolerate this dirty and ugly park. Rubbish all over the place. Dangerous broken fixtures. Unpainted, ugly. Emu being attacked by the ostrich. Viewing windows always dirty. Cheap food outlets. Plastic bags and garbage all over the place. Patrons are not taught to use garbage bins. Garbage bins are not emptied. What a sad mess. I'm sure there must be a future plan for this disaster. Very poor maintenance. Why not make it 5 Star, a beautiful place for people and animals to relax. Yes, get more Arabian animals, give the place an Arabian theme, with Arabian food outlets, no plastic bags, no food from outside...Go up market, the 5 Start Wildlife breeding reserve...
Karim Mansouri — Google review
One of the best place in Bahrain to visit. If you are in Bahrain you must visit here atleast once. Also it's worth for 2 BHD. Don't compare this park with other park you have seen because Bahrain is a small country and the climate here is more on Summer. Staffs are very friendly and I really appreciate the way they maintain the cleanliness.
Dinu Denny — Google review
This place isn't taken care of. The restaurants are so dirty and have cobwebs and cockroaches. You enter the main building and there is a person explaining where things are but very poorly. You can take a ride on the golf carts. The guy who was driving the gold cart was going very fast and didn't explain anything, just said the names of only the last animals. They give no effort trying to entertain and impress the guests at all. There were no predator animals like, lions but there were more gazelles and ducks than anything else. It was quite sad as we were expecting them. In general the place was dirty and not enjoyable. We would not recommend this place and would not go again.

Very cool to see the large peacocks and pelicans just roaming around the park freely.
But slightly disappointed that there was a section of the park closed when I went to include the area with the tigers and I am not sure what else.
But ultimately all I actually did see amounted to many birds, goats,sheep , horses and gazelles.
Still enjoyed the park very much but would have liked to see the other animals from the closed section.

No wild animals no tiger no lions no elephants charged 2BD per person same for children, restaurants too expensive . Zoo maintained very well. Extra charge for going in bus, train and car for roaming around. Good variety of ducks and swans

Enjoy the sight of different animals, birds, and desert plants in their own natural environment. Take a walk around the park and get close to unique birds that wander freely and happily around you. Or take a bus tour in the reserve and get to know all the different kinds of endangered animals such as the Arabian Leopard, the Ostrich, the Arabian Gazelle, the Oryx, and many more.
It is the only place in Bahrain to see some live birds and animals. I wish they had taken better care of all the creatures. This place definitely needs an upgrade.

À very well kept zoo with a lot of antilope s. Make sure you take the electrical rides rather than walking the 6km safari road. There is not much to see but for the enclosures along the road. You get really close to the animals and can walk among the birds in the birds area which is fun for the kids

Good place for kids. In the entrance there is a notice that no predators there so I do not understand someone’s complains. Some entertainment for kids. A lot of birds (flamingos are very cute). Camels are very cute as well. We were during the Bahrain Independence Day so it was colorful. If you are coming with kid you will be followed by staff to get tickets without waiting.

The park covers a total area of 7 km sq and was first established in 1976. The ticket price has increased to 2 BD and no wild animals like tiger lion etc you will only see some falmingos, eagles, vultures, goat, hen, sheep tortoises etc.

Great place. Just make sure the weather is right. You can easily spend 4-5 hours. Make sure you pack your picnic basket to enjoy inside. Stores inside do offer limited options for eating, so you can decide accordingly. Make sure to take the buggy ride or the train ride(additional cost)

It was our first time to visit this wonderful park. Good for family. You can bring your food and the entrance fee is 2bd. You can also ride in electric cars inside which will cost you another 2bd. But we prefer to walk with our 4 children. No wild animals but our children still appreciate the animals and beauty of nature. There's also a playground and wide space to have your picnic mat and enjoy the place. There are also tables and chairs which you can use as you eat your packed meals. Very nice place for family.

1. the Hygiene measurements are very poor, there is no sanitation for the suits, helmets and cars after using.
2. The entry and registration process are note clear, the staff should be more cooperative and organized specially for first timers.
3. The prices is a bit high.

Great track and kart. Service was so so. Our heat 40 was late 35 min because there was some media event. Then they mixed couple of groups to compensate. Problem is that they mixed karts with different hp power. This resulted in kaos on the track and in the end they stopped race after 12 min. Great track, bad service.

The security staff are not professional in dealing with visitors, including the female security from the Bahraini staff. They want the people to be in rush inside the showers and changing rooms. They need to learn a good communication and a better way of speaking with visitors.
Selling prices in the store are expensive ( Sun block creams - life jackets - cell phones water covers..).
You need to bring a life jacket for children under 120 centimeters.

I enjoyed my time at the water park a lot as it was my first experience at it😍!
It’s very amusing, I wish the weather was better(typical Bahrain weather humid & hot), I went from morning hours on a weekday, there was no queues on the slides, thus from 4 PM people started coming, line was quickly moving though.
Life guards were very friendly, they watch everyone, special thanks to the hidden forces!
The restaurant staff were very slow, and they overcooked our burgers 🥹
Overall, I would highly recommend the water park for families.
It’s a very entertaining place, everyone can enjoy it!

Its a wonderful weekend place with family. Kids will enjoy playing in water and the adults can test their adrenal levels with free falls and high water slides in this water park. Restaurants inside are not so good and just allow you to get rid of your thirst and hunger immediately, beyond that it’s just an average place as restaurant. The guards are help-full and support the young kids and even suggest and motivate to take the rides ourself. Overall its good to spend a weekend with your family.

Wonderful experience and my kids enjoyed to the fullest. Value for money I would say. Overall, a fantastic experience as always. Staff Sheryn and Marian were sweet and quite informative.

It is a nice place to go once in a while with your family. However, the rides are limited and it is way overpriced compared to other water parks in the region.
What's really upsetting to me was the fact that I specifically went to enjoy the "rocket ride" but that ride was closed on that day. I was charged a full ticket but was not informed that one out of I guess 4 adult rides in not operational. That's almost 25% of the rides not working on that day.
Do take your towels, life vest for under age kids and be prepared to pay the full amount for any child above 1.2 m, regardless of his age.
Their will be a very unwelcoming thorough check for your luggage at the entrance and most of your items including the undergarments will be taken out in front of everyone. All this to ensure you are not smuggling any water bottles inside the park.
You will be paying full charge for older people who will be accompanying you, but won't be riding. However, you won't find any decent seats for them to sit and watch their children or grand children have fun.
Overall, the experience is mediocre to say the least. The rides aren't thrilling, but kids under 8 will definitely have a lot of fun.
Don't compare this with wild wadi Dubai or any such water park. Keep your expectations really low, wallet wide open and you just might have a good time.

It is indeed a paradise in Bahrain. It's always wonderful to experience this exciting and thrilling attraction at lost Paradise, and it did not disappoint me at all. I have so many rides and took part in water games. The park is known for its water slides and wave pool, those were a highlight for me. Overall, it was great fun and memorable experience!

Khor al Udaid, also known as the Inland Sea, is a stunning natural wonder where sand dunes meet the waters of the Arabian Sea. Located about an hour's drive from the city center, this place offers breathtaking views and a unique experience. Visitors can witness thrilling activities such as sand dune competitions and enjoy the serene beach. Accessible by 4x4 vehicles, it's recommended to travel in pairs and be prepared for potential vehicle repairs due to the challenging terrain.
This is the best experience in Qatar.
Totally amazing.

Fantastic place to see after drive through sand dunes. Beautiful to watch sun rise and sunset here. Everyone must go for at least one time. Kids will really enjoy the drive on 4X4 in sand dunes. Advice to go in group, will help if you have any difficulty in sand dunes.

The Sea and the desert dunes meet!(currently listed under potentials on Unesco) It is also the border to neighbours Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Tip: check for clear skies. This desert safari is fun and its good for all ages. There are a lot to do here if you like Sand dune buggies, Paragliders, Pony, Camel riding and you could opt for a not so quiet stroll on the beach.

Great place! If I would do it once again, I would take some food for a picnic and stay there for the whole day. The beach is very good and even in winter you can swim there. The ground is also good, thus, you do not need special shoes.
It is possible to come there using Google maps of course only with four wheel drive vehicle. There is a street without that much sand. Normally, all cars using this was to come back.

It is a beautiful clean place where water and sand meet to form a lovely cove. The dune safari included this spot and it was nice to see and experience the view. It is absolutely worth the trlip. Golden Adventures was great and Amaan is the best.
Leon Jacobs — Google review
Guys, check this place out! It’s unbelievable! For the first time in my life I see this, the sand dunes spill into the waters of the Arabian Sea.
By car it takes around an hour to get here from the city center. Believe me, it worth it. This place will touch your heart and soul. In the evening you can observe, or even if you wanna try to be a part of a competition. Guys are about conquering the sand dunes. You can see it in my pictures. It is a live show. However, be careful, cuz it is super dangerous sport. I took a car to get here, even if you don’t have it, you always can have a tour with an agency or so. Don’t miss this chance!

City Mall is one of the two largest shopping complexes in Madinatzayed. This mall is located next to the main road. Therefore, it is very easy for customers to visit the mall.
Most of the items like groceries, textiles, jewelry, electronics etc. are available in various shops inside this mall.
There are also playgrounds for children to play in this complex. Inside this shopping mall there are restaurants that are famous for their taste.

I recently visited City Mall in Abu Dhabi and had a truly enjoyable experience. The environment of the mall is something that stood out to me the most. The spacious and well-designed layout creates a welcoming atmosphere, making my shopping experience more comfortable and enjoyable.
The mall's ambiance is both modern and sophisticated, with a perfect blend of natural lighting and tasteful decor. The cleanliness and well-maintained facilities add to the overall positive impression. Navigating through the mall was easy, thanks to clear signage and helpful staff members.
One of the highlights was the diverse range of shops and brands available, catering to various tastes and preferences. From high-end fashion stores to unique boutiques, City Mall offers a fantastic shopping variety. The dining options were also impressive, providing a mix of international cuisines that satisfied my cravings.
Overall, I highly recommend City Mall Abu Dhabi for its fantastic environment, excellent facilities, and diverse shopping and dining choices. It's a place where you can not only find what you're looking for but also enjoy the entire shopping experience.

The newly opened Marina Mall is one of the biggest shopping centres in Abu Dhabi, combining a wide range of leisure activities like bowling and ice skating with high-end fashion stores. The mall offers an impressive selection of restaurants and boutiques, as well as a movie complex and observatory. It's open from 9 am to midnight all week long.
Love shopping with my family here.
Many well known brands are here.
Ample free parking is available.
The food court is great.
The drive to the mall is great as we can view the turquoise hued sea, which is sooooo much there in Abu Dhabi.
The security staff are pleasant and assist you to navigate through the mall by pointing out important landmarks in terms of shops.

During festival seasons special discounts are available in cloth section and they are having wonderful collection of cloths.
If you're coming for groceries or to buy other house holds it's good for you as soon as you enter the mall you will find too many special offers usually the mall is not over crowded you can come with your family, its a family friendly place and finding a parking spot is also easy.mall is situated in the good location 💕💕💕💕💕

The Pros:
Spacious Layout: Marina Mall offers ample space, making it comfortable to navigate even during busy times.
Abundant Natural Light: The mall's design allows for plenty of natural light, creating a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere for shoppers.
Variety of Retail Options: With a diverse range of shops and boutiques, Marina Mall caters to various tastes and preferences.
The Cons:
Unfinished Sections: Unfortunately, some areas of the mall appear unfinished, detracting from the overall aesthetic and experience.
Lack of Neatness: Certain sections may not be as well-maintained or tidy as expected, which could affect visitors' impressions of cleanliness.
Overall, Marina Mall offers a spacious and light-filled environment with a wide selection of retail options. However, improvements in maintaining cleanliness and completing unfinished sections could enhance the overall experience for visitors.

I always feel happy when I visit this Mall. It's beautiful and very quite. If you are planning to meet a friend or to escape from the busy life for sometimes, I highly recommend any Cafe in Marina Mall.The surrounded environment and views will make you feel better and better.
Shops here are very expensive with less offers compered with other Malls. Maybe because many brands are international and well known. I found one amazing perfume when I asked for the price it's 850 DHS, I immediately escaped and continue my visit only watching from outside the shops. Moreover many shops were closed and food court not like before..if you live in Abu Dhabi for a long time you will surely not recognize this place unlike old Marina Mall, it's less attractive I don't know why.
Parking is free also bus is available.
The advantage of Marina Mall it's near Corniche, so you can enjoy both in one visit especially in winter.

We heard a lot about Marina mall, Marina bay, Rixos Marina etc )), before coming to Abu Dhani. So, we really wondered what’s all that about.
So, the day we visited the Louvre, we came here after the museum.
A big mall shops like any other malls of Abu Dhabi. I can’t say it’s the biggest one, as Yas mall seemed the bigger to me.
We wondered around and had some food on at the food court, the cafes are more/less same as in other malls/food courts of Abu Dhabi.
So, if you are in Abu Dhani, come here and see the unusual architecture of the building of Marina mall.

Interesting view…
We booked an infamous high tea at the Observation Deck at 300, aiming for the sunset (timing). We knew sunset view was upon availability, but when we arrived we were given one of the best tables of the house. Unlimited hot/cold tea/coffee, staff friendly though somewhat overwhelmed, after initial very tasty aperitif first tea/coffee order did only arrive after checking and a 30 minutes wait. What we didn’t realize is that the “view upon availability” meant that the availability could be replaced by a view on the butts of people who shamelessly come to stand by the window in front to take pictures of themselves and the view. After the sunset staff blocked off the window passage and moved our table somewhat closer but our intended relaxed sunset view high tea had proven to be a crowded / stressed sensory experience. Taste wise, some of the layered sweets were very surprising and tasty. We were lucky to be able to use the BB+, but as an experience would not go for the high tea (on a Saturday) the way it’s set up. View is amazing and could see going for a beverage that’s accompanied by a snack, minimum spend 55 AED. Great concept, execution could be better.

There is a wait. Your are going to floor 74. My advice is stay for 3 hours. Arrive an hour before sunset. Eat, drink and enjoy. I really loved my visit here. Not spectacular but a pleasure to visit. Staff, food and drinks are good. Prices are not cheap but are not exorbitant either

Amazingly amazing experience... Cost, standard, scenery, cuisine, and service all mattered. Everything was flawless. Just because everything was so opulent, I nearly felt uncomfortable. The personnel at the establishment, including the valet of my rented Kia, treated us like kings.
Though the entire space is a 360-degree viewing area, you may go around and take in every perspective. The views from the top are truly the best; we enjoyed a breathtaking view from our seats.

Went up during a day trip from Dubai. The observation deck is both a lounge/ restaurant as well as an observation deck. The view is pretty spectacular in most directions marred in just a couple of windows that really needed cleaning. These windows had dirt/dust along the whole window; in defense, they are slanted in a manner that make cleaning them somewhat difficult. Given that, they should still be cleaned.

I stayed from before dawn until nightfall.
Other people have written that the glass is dirty.
This can't be helped
But it was pretty good
Salad and coffee are the same price
I ordered a salad.
It was a great satisfaction
I don't know if you can get in without a reservation.
We only stayed for 30 minutes on a weekend evening so it was well within the acceptable range.
You won't get tired while waiting because you can sit and wait in the lobby of Conrad in the same building, which is just a short walk away.
All the staff in the observation restaurant had a great meal!

The views and the food are worth the price of admission, but book ahead if you want service seating. 🤗 You’ll be standing in line downstairs for only viewing otherwise (most likely; you might come on a not so busy day).
Very friendly staff, very busy!
Coffee and desserts were absolutely amazing - red velvet and cheesecake.

If you’re a fan of viewing cities from above then his is the spot to come in Abu Dhabi. The 360 degree views offer the perfect opportunity to get your bearings of the city and most of the major landmarks are clearly visible. It’s a little weird at first since the viewing area also doubles as a restaurant, so you have to be careful not to interrupt people’s meals when taking photos, but fortunately it was’t overly busy during our visit.
Great spot for the views alone though and I’d recommend for anyone’s first visit to the city.

interesting perspective on Abu Dhabi.
no idea why, but it was just another 'observation deck' in the end.
maybe I've been on too many tall buildings by now.
or the view from our hotel next door was too similar.
but that's not to speak badly of the location.
great view of Emirates Palace, Quasr AlWatan and Abu Dhabi itself.

Lovely high tea with great views. Accommodated an allergy excellently.
Took one star away because of issues and confusion with booking. Was ready to give it one star and cancel because those were so frustrating but it got sorted out in the end and the experience made up for it.
Recommended to do this if you're in the area. Book ahead especially if you have an allergy.

This place is exactly opposite to Emirates Palace, you can literally walk from emirates palace.
The entrance is free to the 74th floor but you need to make a bill of Minimum AED 35 at the cafe located in the observation area. You have decent snacks and drinks available in the menu which you can enjoy along with beautiful views.
Although everything was good this place, the glasses are not cleaned and the views are not clear because of the glasses are very dirty.
If the view is clear you can see emirates palace, Presidential palace and The Corniche from here which are most beautiful places in Abu Dhabi.

Observation deck 300 was actually awesome. They take you up on the elevator, thank God it's enclosed. You get all the way up to some astronomical floor and there's just a whole bunch of floor to ceiling windows which you can see everything. I would have loved to have tea there, but you have to book that in advance. The only drawback I didn't care for, was while people were trying to eat and have their tea there were people climbing all around them to get pictures out the window. But it is definitely a must see if you go to Abu Dhabi.
Tracy Thomas — Google review
Do love an observation deck and this one was another great, with views all over Abu Dhabi! 😁
However one drawback is the setup isn’t ideal in terms of our tour group for the deck experience is allowed to freely walk over/around people’s tables who are having food/drink because the area’s mixed. 😒
I feel the dining experience should be on another floor or cornered off area. 🫖
Also they sell Corona for around £10 a bottle.. 🥹😅

Absolutely incredible. The price, the quality, the views, the food, the service. All of it was impeccable. I almost felt out of place simply because of how lavish it all was. From the valet for my rental kia, to the staff inside, they made us feel like royalty.
The views from the top are as good as they get really, we had a gorgeous view for our seats, but the whole room is a 360 viewing area so you can walk around and see all of the views.
The theme when we visited was street food, so we had an array of bites from all over the world, and they all tasted delicious. And on the unlimited hot/cold coffee/tea, and it was an afternoon tea to never forget.

Food is very good and not expensive, the servers treat you very well and are kind.
The view is impressive and I recommend getting there at 5 so you can enjoy both evening and night views.
I recommend calling previously to verify availability or make a reservation.

Great views! I enjoyed the experience, although the food was a bit pricey. I particularly loved their Iced Mocha! We ordered quinoa salad, poached salmon wrap, wild mushroom ciabatta and cheesecake. However, the cheesecake portion was very small. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, especially considering the fantastic view from the 74th floor!

The absolute must visit place in Abu Dhabi. You can reserve tickets online, as well as pay at the entrance or buying at hotel lobby refreshment to cover amount needed for entrance. The top deck gives you 360 surrounding spectacular view to the nearby landmarks such as Presidential house, marina with hotel or city center.

Absolutely flawless- The ‘High Tea Experience’ was incredible with an innovative menu to try new flavours. Presentation was exceptional and staff were incredibly engaging. The portions were generous and the drinks options were extensive and continuously topped up. Every table had a stunning view so there was no risk of missing out.
Note to visitors:
-Booking for Afternoon Tea/ High tea is needed at least 24hrs in advance so they have time to prepare.
-They call you and require confirmation of the booking before 10am on the day or you risk loosing the table.
-You’re given the choice of 2 packages (one with an extra drink- I think it was alcoholic?)
-They don’t add an unexpected service charge at the end (you can leave a tip if you want)
We were there a little early (which was fine for the reservation) but we were hoping to have a look around the area or in some of the shops below in the towers but there’s nothing there really. Just big brands for shops with hardly any people around so the trip there ended up being purely for this. It’s worth the journey though because the entire experience itself was incredible and the views are stunning from all around.

We went without booking on a Monday mid afternoon and we’re able to go straight in. There was no entry fee but we did have to commit to spending 55 AED per person on food and drink which was easy to do. The views are amazing and the staff are very friendly. The food and drink aren’t the best quality but considering the setting I think it’s fair.

This is amazing as you can see the whole of Abu Dhabi from its highest point. Really peaceful and calm environment. Lovely coffee shop too. The view is so mesmerising.

Different sites purpose entrance tickets from AED55, while on the spot you can buy for just 35. The views are great, when in Abu Dhabi it's a must

Rd Tower 2, Level 74 Corniche W St, Al Bateen - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
The Heritage Village is a traditional Bedouin village that recreates the lifestyle of the desert people before Abu Dhabi's transformation into a modern city. The village features attractions such as carpentry, pottery and blown glass workshops, a campfire, falaj irrigation system and metal workspaces. It is managed by the Emirates Heritage Club, which preserves Arabic culture and tradition in this era of development.
A Majestic Experience at Abu Dhabi Palace!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Abu Dhabi Palace and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. This hotel truly lives up to its name, as it exudes luxury and grandeur in every aspect. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was mesmerized by the opulent decor and the warm welcome from the staff.
The rooms at Abu Dhabi Palace are nothing short of magnificent. Spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with every amenity one could desire, they provided a haven of comfort and indulgence during my stay. The attention to detail in the room's furnishings and the breathtaking views of the city skyline added an extra touch of elegance.
The service at Abu Dhabi Palace was exemplary. The staff members were attentive, courteous, and always ready to assist with any request. From the efficient check-in process to the prompt room service, their professionalism and dedication to ensuring a memorable stay were evident throughout. I was particularly impressed by the concierge team, who provided valuable recommendations and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs.
One of the highlights of my stay was the dining experience at Abu Dhabi Palace. The hotel boasts a range of exquisite restaurants offering a diverse culinary journey. From fine dining options to casual cafes, each venue showcased impeccable service and an extensive menu of delectable dishes. The quality of the food, coupled with the elegant ambiance, made each meal a true delight.
The facilities at Abu Dhabi Palace are second to none. The spa and wellness center offered a tranquil retreat, where I indulged in rejuvenating treatments and experienced the epitome of relaxation. The fitness center was well-equipped and maintained, catering to those looking to maintain their exercise routine while traveling. Additionally, the hotel's pool area provided a serene oasis where I could unwind and soak up the sun.
Abu Dhabi Palace's location is ideal for exploring the city. Situated in a prime location, it offers convenient access to various attractions and landmarks. Whether it was visiting the nearby cultural sites, shopping at the vibrant malls, or enjoying the beautiful beaches, everything was within reach, making my stay even more enjoyable.
I cannot recommend Abu Dhabi Palace highly enough. It truly exceeded my expectations in every way, and I left with cherished memories of a luxurious and unforgettable stay. If you're seeking a lavish and refined experience in Abu Dhabi, this is the place to be. Prepare to be pampered and enchanted by the regal ambiance and outstanding service at Abu Dhabi Palace!

A total flop with exception of the museum, view and Location. The only place where you see some real history is a tiny museum. All over It’s very dirty. The greenery looks bad. Typical tourist gift shops with cheap Made in China stuff. Besides that I feel bad for the poor cats which eat the leftovers of the tourists, the service is awful, they say it’s traditional food but it’s just warmed continental catering stuff. Really not recommending. I wanted to give it a try but there is a lot to do better there… sadly

There is no fee at the entrance. You can see a lot of human craft like pottery, metal,weapon, and so many things, mainly it's a prehistoric artifact. a real camel is there if you want you can take pictures. Amazing view of the Abu Dhabi Corniche as well. Lots of lovely gardens and palm trees to sit under to enjoy the shade. It's near Marina Mall. It took us a maximum of 1 hr to see and do everything mainly nice to see part of history. Some areas are under construction. The museum will close at 4 pm so if you are planning to visit, keep it in mind.

This was truly an exceptional experience. It was advised to spend 2/3 hours visiting the Heritage village. We would say stay longer.
Although the village needs a bit of upkeep on the buildings, it has a lot to offer regardless.
Take the time to sit in a tent and enjoy the experience. Have some Arabic coffee while waking through a museum. Get your hands dirty, learning pottery, or ride a horse or a camel. Just enjoy being immersed in this fascinating culture.

A visit is recommended, to learn more about how they have evolved. FREE ENTRY!
They closed earlier during Ramadan (3pm) but I believe normal closed time is 4pm....see pictures. The site of the UAE flag is next door so I recommend a visit.
Towards the rear of the centre, there is a Lovely sandy beach which you can deep you feet in, there are also sitting areas and toilets.
A lovely view of Abu Dhabi's tall buildings at the beach. Good photo ops! See pictures.

Our tour guide brought us here instead of the much more interesting Emirates Palace which I really wanted to see. No fee or security at entrance. Didn't bother with any museums because all of them were underwhelming and boring. Got to take a picture with and touch a real camel though! Amazing view of the Abu Dhabi Corniche as well. Lots of lovely gardens and palm trees to sit under to enjoy the shade. If you're at the Marina Mall you might as well check it out, but otherwise it's not worth your time.

This was our last stop while visiting Abu Dhabi for the first time. I recommend visiting during the cooler months because the heat was unbearable. The museums where not that interesting. The gentleman let our daughter ride the camel and even took pictures for us. The beach area was beautiful, except for the part where people left masks and empty water bottles on the sand. Lots of cute trinkets available for purchase. Free entry. Overall, it was a nice experience and we’re happy to have visited.

This is definitely a place to visit, but what I was suggest is not to go during daytime. we went in summertime at peak hour and it was probably the hottest I’ve ever felt. There is no AC except for the reception so make sure if you guys are going to go to wear a light clothes, so you don’t feel hot. There are bunch of shops in there that are reasonably priced. There is a small zoo for the kids as well as a few other activities to do.
Just remember, summertime gets very hot in Abu Dhabi.

Heritage Village is a great place to visit to learn about the traditional culture and way of life in the United Arab Emirates. It is a reconstruction of a traditional desert village, with houses, mosques, shops, and workshops. There are also a number of animals, such as camels, goats, and sheep.
One of the best things about Heritage Village is the views of the Corniche. From the village, you can see the skyscrapers and luxury hotels of Abu Dhabi on the other side of the water. It is a great contrast to the traditional village, and it shows how much the city has changed in recent years.
Another great thing about Heritage Village is the opportunity to see handmade works. There are a number of artisans who work in the village, and they demonstrate their skills to visitors. You can see them making pottery, weaving carpets, and carving wood. You can also purchase their products from the shops in the village.
Overall, Heritage Village is a great place to visit to learn about the traditional culture of the United Arab Emirates and to see some beautiful handmade works. It is also a great place to relax and enjoy the views of the Corniche.

Visiting the Heritage Museum was like taking a trip back in time! The exhibits were so immersive and really made me feel connected to our cultural roots.

The entrance is free, but be aware they close at 16:00 within the week so plan your visit!
Inside is quite beautiful and they show a lot of the old/local culture from Abu Dhabi and the Emirates in general.
It is not easily reachable by public transport but I’d recommend going by taxi since it is not very expensive if you are in the Marina Mall or somewhere close-by.

Yes, there is no fee to visit the place but most of the place is unmaintained. The women staff where they offered us coffee were very nice but most of the workman's shops were not very welcoming. They are there to exhibit their art and make sure the visitor understands it.
None of the irrigation systems had water flowing and they are literally useless there. The spot where the boats are is beautiful. It is definitely is worth a visit but only if have nothing more to do in Abu Dhabi.

Came here as a part of our city tour. Free and really interesting for those who want to learn more about the history of Abu Dhabi. A couple of small museums showing historical artefacts.
Lovely place to sit and relax with a small ‘beach’ area with a brilliant view of the Corniche area. If you’re around in the area for other sites it’s definitely worth a visit. If you’re coming specifically for this, it may be a slight bit underwhelming.

Located in the heart of downtown Dallas, next to skyscrapers, the Heritage Village cultural village is a place to recreate the lives of Abu Dhabi people before the 1950s - 1960s when huge oil reserves were discovered in the desert.
The open-air museum is the highlight of the Heritage Village that you will really enjoy because it gathers more than thirty large and small structures, recreating the residential architecture of the people of the past, but until now this country is still trying to preserve.
The village also has a traditional medicine clinic during the tourist season, to help visitors who have environmental problems, when they come here to visit. Patients will be treated by an experienced and professional traditional medicine doctor.
The village also keeps many shops selling pottery, handmade goods, traditional sweets, dried milk along with popular labor equipment and tools that Dubai people have used popularly in previous periods.

Nice place to visit. However they should increase the closing time. It closes at 4 which doesn’t makes sense. Many visitors has to go back as they come at this time.
The ablution place was smelly and not clean.
Toilets are also dirty and so many tissues all over the place.

We were on our Abu-Dhabi city tour and had a visit to this Heritage Village, Near Marina Mall.
You see this place as a must see on each website you visit, so did we.
Well, I have to admit that it wasn’t much interesting for us, people from Uzbekistan. As what we saw here, we could see in our country too, apart from the sea stuff as we do not have sea neighboring.
We were in July, really hot time, so this was the only place on our city tour where we really felt hot and tried to escape asap.
You enter each small room and pass it quickly, so your body doesn’t have enough time to cool down ))
Due to the weather camels were resting and we didn’t much want to go closer and see them. (we did it in the zoo in a few days)
Overall, I wouldn’t no come here again or recommend this place for visit. There are others, more interesting and must visit places in Abu-Dhabi.
As there is no entrance fees there were lot of people despite July (Off-season), and of course everyone was rushing to a cool place or out.

Emirates Heritage Village in Abu Dhabi
Nestled amidst the modern skyscrapers and luxury hotels of Abu Dhabi lies a hidden gem that transports visitors back in time – the Emirates Heritage Village. As I stepped into this captivating portal to the past, I was immediately struck by the immersive experience it offers, delving deep into the traditional desert way of life in the United Arab Emirates.
The village is a meticulous recreation of an oasis settlement, complete with forts, souks, mosques, and Bedouin tents, showcasing the ingenuity of Emirati ancestors in adapting to their harsh environment. Walking through the narrow alleys and bustling market stalls, I felt a profound connection to our cultural roots, gaining a deeper appreciation for the values of hard work and resilience that have shaped our heritage.
What truly sets the Emirates Heritage Village apart is its vibrant cultural hub, where traditional crafts come to life before your eyes. From pottery and metalwork to weaving and wood carving, artisans demonstrate their skills with passion and expertise, inviting visitors to engage in this rich tapestry of Emirati craftsmanship. It's not just a museum; it's a living, breathing testament to our heritage.
But the experience doesn't end there. With sweeping views of the Corniche, the village offers a stunning contrast between the old and the new, highlighting the rapid transformation of Abu Dhabi in recent years. It's a reminder of how far we've come while honoring the traditions that define us.
As I wandered through the village, I couldn't help but marvel at the array of handmade works on display – from intricately woven carpets to beautifully carved wood pieces. The shops dotted around the village offer a chance to take home a piece of Emirati culture, with authentic treasures waiting to be discovered.
However, no visit to the Emirates Heritage Village would be complete without a moment of relaxation on the beachfront, soaking in the serene beauty of the surroundings. It's the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration, with the gentle lapping of waves providing a soothing soundtrack to the experience.
While parking can be a challenge on busy days, the village's free entry and extended hours during Ramadan make it accessible to all. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, the Emirates Heritage Village offers something for everyone.
In conclusion, a visit to the Emirates Heritage Village is not just a journey through time; it's a celebration of heritage, traditions, and identity. So come, immerse yourself in the stories of the past, and leave feeling inspired by the timeless beauty of our culture.

Upon arrival no staff member communicated the closing times.

Walking through the well-preserved exhibits, we felt transported back in time, as we admired the craftsmanship of local artisans and learned about the customs and rituals passed down through generations.
The knowledgeable guides were instrumental in enhancing our visit, sharing insightful anecdotes and historical context that deepened our understanding of the exhibits. Moreover, the serene ambiance of the village, set against the backdrop of Abu Dhabi's skyline, added to the overall sense of tranquility and wonder.
In conclusion, our trip to the Heritage Village was an unforgettable journey through the heart and soul of the UAE. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to delve into the cultural richness of this remarkable country.

Near Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi Theatre Rd, Corniche - Breakwater Rd, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
The Corniche beach in Dubai is a beautiful waterfront promenade with international clean-water status. This means that there are limited swimming distances, so it is not the best place to swim if you are looking for a long beach swim. There are 3 award-winning restaurants located along the promenade, as well as public beaches where you can take a break and enjoy the views.
Abu Dhabi corniche beach is around 8km long stretch of breakwater front extending from Mina port in the north up to Marina mall to the south.
The corniche is divided into different zones with each zone featuring different characteristics.
The Mina side features breakwater front with the fishermens village and fishing boats and trawlers in the background. As you move towards south, opposite to Abu Dhabi chamber of commerce, you have white sand beach with free public access. Further south, there is a family beach with paid access to the beach for privacy.
There are restaurants and cafes on the beach.
There is an interlock tiled walkway more than 10 metres wide for walking and jogging. Parallel to it is a separate dedicated cycle track for cycling.
There are many activities which can be enjoyed such as walking, jogging, exercise, cycling, quad biking, parasailing, banana boat ride, yatch ride with dinner package, kids play area, beach football, beach volley ball and many other beach games. The beach is open to public 24x7 and guarded by security and life guards.
There are vending machines for drinking water, tea, coffee, juices and cold drinks.
Also there are fresh water fountains along the corniche walkway.
The gardens along the corniche are maintained and kept clean by regular trimming the trees to various geometric shapes.
The beaches have clean water and sand.
The early morning walks along the beach with birds chirping in the background is music to the soul.
Morning and evening walks on the corniche are very pleasant with your body relasing more happiness harmones endorphins to give you a positive and feel good state of mind.
There is ample parking area across the corniche beach and every traffic signal has a subway connecting the parking area to the corniche beach.
The corniche beach turns magical at night in the shining citylights on one side and view of emirates palace, presidential palace and marina mall on the other side. The entire corniche lits up in the night to give a stunning look.

Today we were visiting Abu Dhabi Corniche Beach with my sister.
We came around 10.30. Everything was fine until some man came to beach, sit 5 meters near us and open music in his phone very loudly. We asked lifeguard to speak with him, actually in Beach rules we read, “Enjoy the beach without loud music or annoying others”. Thoset man made music very loud and was annoying us a lot. I received headache. Thank you! So, the lifeguard called Security, huge tall man. He asked us who came first. Actually we, but it does not matter. If somebody comes first, it is allowed to break the rules? Security came to this man BUT DID NOT DO ANYHING. Music still was loudly but security told us THAT’S FINE.
REALLY???
Security went back to his place, open his phone and start played with it. He was enjoying his phone till 1 pm, when we left. Well Done!
Sorry, this is normal thing? This is how staff must make their duties???
This trouble was at 11.30, today, 29.03.2022 between 4 and 5 Beaches numbers.
Actually about Beach it is very nice, tidy, has toilets and shower inside the toilets. You must sit in special circles because of safety rules.
Free entrance, rules you can see in surf board when you come to beach. Maybe the security never read the rules.
Amazing sea (gulf) and very clear water.
I gave only 1 from 5 because of staff behavior. Hope one time security will know his duties.
Stay safe!

Corniche beach is a great place filled with plenty of families that come to spend quality time together and relax. This brought me one of my more humbling life experiences. While kicking a ball around, met some amazing kids with a lot of potential in the sport. They were immediate to approach and ask for a game, and soon we were joined by plenty of others. Every work worked in cohesion although we’d just met.
The views immaculate, and there is plenty to do in this location. There is a reflexology stone walk for relaxation, there are ice cream shops and food places, you can rent a bike or a scooter and travel alone the beautiful boardwalk. The beach has magnificent views come sunset, and I’m glad I was able to experience this. Plenty to do here, I highly recommend to anyone

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
I'll never travel to Al Ain without this trip planner again
The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a world-renowned museum that features pieces from ancient to modern art. The museum is located on the outskirts of the city of Abu Dhabi, which makes it easy to get to. The architecture of the building is stunning and it houses many interesting galleries with a cross-section of art. There are also four rare old religious texts displayed side by side in one gallery.
Ok.. what to say? By what to start?
Everything about this museum what amazing!
- First the building is incredible, either inside than outside. It's well designed to let you walk through the museum and enjoy the visit. The exterior part too is obviously incredible, and the dome is wonderful. It let the light go through, without the heat so you can enjoy your time outside.
- Exhibitions are also incredibly well thought and you follow in parallel the evolution of the civilizations and can see how, even when evolving in different places, they all come to a lot of similarities. The audio-guide is well made and explanations are kept short for each display, which is nice, around 1m30-2m max. In order to listen to everything, it will take you around 4h.
- Finally, the staff is really friendly in all part of the museum.
Tips: arrive early to enjoy the museum with less people and book a kayak tour around the museum, it's so much worth it and make you see the museum differently!

What an amazing architectural complex. It consists of cubical volumes that has permanent and temporary exhibitions, restaurant and cafe. Water element between the volumes is creating a visual connection and feels like you are floating in the ocean and also perfect blue shade is giving colorfulness to the area. Finally the dome itself. I call it as tremendous umbrella that is covering all of the complex and creating amazing vistas, shades underneath and attraction.

I really was blown away by the broad spectrum of historical events covered in the venue. Beautifully curated and wonderful staff to guide you through. Perhaps they could have a bit better maps guiding you through but I didn’t use the headsets, so perhaps that was also included.
Make sure to spend at least a half day -two or three hours is needed to scratch the surface.
Can’t recommend highly enough.

A nice Museam, excellent architecture. The building is quite spacious, and all the different exhibits are cleverly distributed throughout the building.
In the building, there are cafes and restaurants to grab a bite to eat. Also, a shop where you can purchase some nice souvenirs.
I would have liked to try the kayaking around the building, which looked like fun and very scenic to grab some pictures 📸
It is a very neat and tidy place, very relaxing.

Best museum I’ve been so far. This museum will take you a journey from the beginning of time to today it has pieces from every culture and everything is so well organised in 12 different rooms. The terrace is also beautiful for picture and gives you the feeling of floating in the water. It also has a lovely cafe and a restaurant if you feel like grabbing a bite from all that touring.

I love this incredible place! It’s beautiful and modern and keeps many gorgeous ancient artworks in it.
An interesting permanent exhibition, supplemented regularly by new expositions. Everything is shown with great taste, convenient, compact and detailed. I love the architecture of this museum, its embeddedness in the landscape, its modernity and elegant beauty.
On Wednesdays, you can visit the dome of this beautiful building for free starting at 18:30 hours, just at sunset, when the white walls of the museum are reflected in the different-colored reflections of the setting sun.
Must see when visiting Abu Dhabi.

The architecture and the whole atmosphere are breathtaking and out of this world.
The museum itself is organized from the first ages of men until the present which is highly interesting. There’s a lot to learn and all different kind of art available.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is a captivating masterpiece that seamlessly blends art, culture, and architecture. Its futuristic design, with a floating dome that allows natural light to filter through, creates a mesmerizing ambiance. The diverse collection of artworks from around the world showcases the museum's commitment to promoting global understanding and unity through art. The carefully curated exhibits, ranging from classical masterpieces to contemporary works, provide an enriching experience for art enthusiasts and novices alike. The tranquil waterfront location adds to the museum's allure, offering a serene setting to appreciate the beauty of both the exhibits and the Arabian Gulf. A must-visit cultural gem that leaves a lasting impression on all who wander its halls.

An extraordinary open museum that is a work of art itself. Upon arrival I was dazzled by the architecture. The dome of the museum is just admirable from distance. The museum features many exhibitions and takes a whole to get around. The ceiling inside the museum is just absolutely stunning to see. You will need several visits to enjoy this place. The museum has a cafe and restaurant which you can enter during the museum opening time. I had the full pleasure to photograph the museum and took incredible photos and videos.

The museum layout is great, with all the description and details for each and every artefact we see. Moreover there is an app which acts as the audio, visual guide to the museum. Vast collection, spacious and creative display of items. Sufficient Restroom, drinking water, sitting bench facility available. Need to walk longer distance to cover the whole museum. It was a satisfied experience for me. The singular roof design was attractive, sunset view is beautiful from here. Worth visit, gained lot of information.

The architecture of this museum is simply gorgeous. The exhibit is interesting. The restaurant has very delicious food and a nice outdoor terrasse where you can eat and relax in nice sofas. There is a huge parking and if you don't want to walk they even have drivers with golf cars to take you to the entrance. Very nice and modern place. A must to visit in Abu Dhabi.

Visiting Louvre Abu Dhabi was a captivating experience. The Drown show was a mesmerizing blend of art and technology, immersing visitors in a unique sensory journey. The Cartier exhibition showcased exquisite craftsmanship, offering a fascinating glimpse into the brand's rich history. The museum's architecture and diverse exhibits make it a must-visit for art enthusiasts. For those seeking a moment of relaxation, the nearby coffee shop, strategically placed near an open amphitheater, provides an ideal spot. The reflection view of the building adds to the ambiance, making it a delightful place to savor a cup of coffee while basking in the artistic surroundings of Louvre Abu Dhabi.

Good experience, very nice building which I would visit even if it didn't have artifacts. One would spend time admiring the building, too.
The inside layout and route are smooth, and galaries take you through a journey in history and art as expected from a reputable icon and brand.
The Cartier exhibition was breathtaking.. and the Letters of Light requires time to read, reflect, and appreciate.
I thought it's going to take me a couple of hours, but I ended up spending a few more.
Wonderful experience brought to our doorstep. Thank you, Abu Dhabi.

The architecture of the building alone is worth the visit. They have wonderful temporary exhibitions with art borrowed from different locations as well as their own permanent artifacts. The space is beautiful. It's a big museum but not as big as the Louvre in Paris which is fine because no human can get through that in a day.

One of the best places in Abu Dhabi if you are a visitor, you must enjoy this incredible experience.

Exploring The Louvre Abu Dhabi was a lovely experience. I was amazed by the majestic dome resembling the shining stars in a night sky.
Echoing the esteemed Louvre Museum in Paris, the exhibits feature a curated selection with some loaned or gifted. Commencing with artifacts from ancient civilizations, enhanced by captivating visual displays, the journey through time unfolds seamlessly.
A full day is enough to go through a thorough exploration of the museums collections.
The panoramic views of the open spaces overlooking the sea is a unique place to take a coffee break and snack. Unfortunately there is a limited vegan offer.
The souvenir shop provides a tasteful conclusion to the visit.

What a beautiful museum! The architecture alone is worth the visit. We loved the Children's Museum and seeing the regular collection. It's not as big as in other museums maybe, but it tells the story of the history of mankind quite well. Alao interesting to see a focus on the African part of that story. Definitely worth your visit.

An amazing structure outside and inside. It was a pleasure walking around. There is a good collection of ancient objects and modern art, telling the history of human culture. There are guided tours options but it is okay to walk by yourself too. They have an app that is quite useful. It is better to book tickets in advance. The gift shop is quite nice too with lots of options for gifts, including for kids. Wheelchair accessible entrances and restrooms.

In terms of art, there’s not much to see. But the architecture is stunning. The open outside area is so calming, with rays of sun piercing through the ceiling. Worth a visit.
The customer service is excellent as well. We were taken by a buggy from parking to entrance, to help us avoid the hot weather in mid July.

Dedicate half day to visit the museum,
It’s totally worth it.
Great family areas to rest and feed your baby or kids. Great features and historical pieces that make you travel.
Would definetely be back to enjoy more the outside spaces.
Staff are friendly and well informed. Certainly a great most see in the region.

The place is just Amazing. Overall the experience was worth every penny of the ticket. The outside architecture is just surreal with all the light beams passing through the beautiful sealing. The white boxes under the immense dome makes it perfect to walk around and focus on the mood and atmosphere instead of the building blocks. My only reason for giving 4 stars is because I would have expected a section specifically reserved for the architecture development of this project. The information could be found online but cannot compare to having a scaled sized model with technical explanations in real life at the Louvre. The content of the museum sure is interesting and informative but it would’ve been such a huge upgrade if a section dedicated to the construction of the project and its architect existed.
Overall, must visit.

I was thoroughly impressed with the architecture itself and the art took my breath away. The collection is very extensive however, it did lack African American artwork. There were some interesting artifacts and I will be back. I was curious to know how each piece was selected and how often the collection changes. The quotes throughout the exhibits were amazing as well.

Very nice selection of artifacts and books. Very interesting stuff and it seems that the museum did great job in restoring it to the original shape. It takes time to go around the museum.
However the security personnel everywhere and everyone is staring at you in very uncomfortable ways. Smart app still under development and I recommend buying the ticket online.

Timeless Beauty and Cultural Marvels around the world.
A visit to the Louvre museum is an experience unlike any other.
The magnitude of its collection, coupled with the exquisite architecture, leaves you in awe from the moment you step inside.
Whether you're an art enthusiast or just curious about history, there's something for everyone here.
Five hours flew by as we wandered through centuries of human creativity, from the iconic paintings and sculptures.
The Louvre is a testament to the beauty and diversity of our world's cultural heritage, and a visit here is an absolute must for anyone in the world.

This iconic museum is not to be missed. The presentation of the full collection is unique. The collections are easy to follow. It is a busy museum but not crowded. An additional bonus was the Cartier special exhibition which was remarkable. We went with two children and they loved the children’s exhibition.

The building is very beautiful, it’s amazing to see the dome from inside. It’s surrounded by water so very beautiful view during sunset. Now coming to the collections, a significant part is borrowed from France so you don’t actually see a lot of local Emirati history there. Also the collection was not that grand.

Really great museum, the architecture is insane. Design is classy and mix the outside part with the inside part perfectly. Lots of room to discover, a rooftop, few restaurants, great view on the sea. Few great spots to take pictures. Nice and some famous artists as Monet. I recommend it !!
Also, backpacks and drinks must be left in wardrobe (free) before starting the tour. You can either read the information of the piece of art by yourself, or go on the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum website to listen to it.

Really enjoyed our visit to the Louvre. My son enjoyed his time inside the Children's Museum section that focused on Space.
Just love the architecture and the domed roof is an absolute marvel at all times of the day with the light playing through the openings as the sun moves through the sky over the course of the day.
The exhibits were fine and the exhibition areas were very well spaced out and not cramped at all. Lots of seating everywhere.
The fact that the Louvre is built on the side of the water just gives it an extra dimension. More than the exhibitions, I would love to spend even more time sitting down outside near the water to just enjoy the view and the vibe.

A trip to Louvre Abu Dhabi always makes my day. I’ve been visiting this museum since it opened and I believe it’s my 7th time visiting. I always look forward to the new exhibitions they offer once in a while.
The way the museum is curated is outstanding. One of the best museums I’ve been to. Being here for so many times made me fall in love with the art pieces more. Sharing some of my favourites.
I’ll make sure that visiting the Louvre will be a yearly tradition for me.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is the largest mosque in the world and a focal point of worship for Abu Dhabi. The venue features beautiful white domes and incredible details, including 1,096 amethyst-and-jasper-embedded columns and gold lead calligraphy on the interior of one dome. There are reflective pools, Swarovski chandeliers, a breathtaking prayer hall, and a courtyard with one of the world's largest marble mosaics.
Incredible architecture! One of the place i have ever visited in my life. A must see when you visit UAE, even if you come to visit Dubai only.
The managing of the place is so professional.
Staff are helpful. I forgot to book ticket for my daughter of 6 months old. The staff did it for me in 3 seconds.
I regret I did get a guide for this tour.

Arabesque art everywhere you look. Air conditioned areas that are enclosed and umbrellas given free for hot sunny areas. QR codes before security for tickets (free) need code to enter prayer areas, everyone can go to both male and female prayer areas. Can wait for golf cart both outside the mosque and in the tunnel for quicker travels. Need to dress appropriately or purchase items that cover you especially if you are female. Many specialty shops for decor, souvenirs, food, bukur and attar attached. Parking is free.

I visited last Thursday and attended the free guided tour at 10AM. Myself and husband were the only ones who joined the tour so we ended up receiving a private tour of the mosque from Mahmoud. Mahmoud was very professional and friendly throughout the visit. He drew our attention to so many of the beautiful elements of the mosque, enlightening us with his vast knowledge of the architecture and history of it. He was also able to answer all questions of the many questions we had. I would highly recommend visiting the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and joining one of the free guided tours. Mahmoud was a great tour guide and a real credit to the mosque.
Autumn Lumb — Google review
The most beautiful mosque so far! The issue is that you have a long way to go from the parking. During the weekends is really crowded, you cant properly take pictures. The rules are strict, you have to wear abaya, or long dresses and cover your head. There is a mall down the mosque where you can have your food or coffee. Advice is to go there by 4.30 so you can see the day and the night scenes, both are amazing! It’s free of charge, but it’s required to book the tickets and better to do it in advance. Enjoy your time!

The Grand Mosque is stunning especially at night with the lighting. It's easy to see from a distance as it's pristine white, beautiful and very large. Modesty laws apply of course and clothing can be purchased. Tickets are obtained underneath and through phones so have phones ready for scanning.
We went through the entrance that goes down an escalator, or elevator and into an underground shopping and eating area. A mini mall, but underground. Once tickets are on hand you go through some queues and then either walk or ride buggies from the shopping area to the Mosque. It's a long walk with beautiful wall murals.
The Grand Mosque is pristine in every way. Intricate designs and architecture prevail. Everything is purposely placed and opulent. From the expansive decorative marvel floors to the jeweled columns and elaborate chandeliers, it is a sight to behold and experience. There is active worship so be respectful.
John Powers — Google review
Obviously a gorgeous place! There are two entrances. One is for tourists to basically take photos with specific assigned photo spots. The other side is the entry for the worshippers. If you're a Muslim worshipper, I have a feeling the experience would be way better on the worshipper side because there would be less tourists. A gorgeous place but I was a little disappointed with the restrictions on where everyone could walk. Tip: Cross the street for a more gorgeous view with beautiful steps leading up to the mosque!

Breathtaking as always. It’s my third time to visit the Grand Mosque and I’m always at awe! Please dress appropriately as a sign of respect. Register ahead online so you can just show your qr codes to enter. Otherwise, you’ll have to line up to register your details.

Truly, the most grand looking mosque I've ever seen and it shouldn't come as a surprise. I haven't seen anything close to this level of grandeur. Looks well lit and spectacular in the night. The architecture is truly mind-blowing. Glad to get this one checked on the bucket list. Amazing.

If I could rate it more stars, I would. Stunning!! The size is enormous. The designs are simple and eloquent. Plan your visit appropriately by buying your ticket in advance. Choose an early or late visit to avoid the crowds, and I do mean crowds. There's a large mall with shops and food that is underground at the entrance to the mosque, so you'll have time to be leisurely and eat if you want.

Beautiful beautiful mosque!! Very well taking care of! very organized, people are very helpful. Lines are moving fast. No need to buy tickets.

One of the best experiences about traveling beyond your own home country is seeing and appreciating other cultures. Everyone has their own faith, religion, and beliefs.

My experience with the mosque was very wonderful. It was a beautiful place. You will get to see very lovely artwork. We went in the afternoon. I suggest you go at night.

Stunning architecture. I always wanted to visit a mosque at least once in my lifetime. Never thought that it'll be the Grand Mosque itself. You can take a taxi from Abu Dhabi Bus station to Grand Mosque. The architecture you'll witness inside is amazing. The whole tour will take around an hour.
Goutham Raj — Google review
Surely one of the greatest mosque to visit. No entry fee however there is a hectic process to apply for entry permit and then pass through multiple check points which waste a lot of time. All entry points to mosque are closed with only entry provided through an underground tunnel. This results in quite a big walk before you enter the mosque.
Recommend the entry process is improved.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is breathtaking! It's massive and looks like something out of a fairy tale. The architecture is incredible, with stunning domes and intricate details.

It's is just astonishing. The mosque is wonderful and white colour is so attractive. I loved it. Very peaceful place, and all the things are so big and Grand in scale. If you are in Dubai or anywhere in UAE, I will say you this DON'T FORGET TO VISIT HERE because you will regret it if you don't visit here. It is the country's largest mosque and is the key place of worship for daily Islamic prayers.
The Grand Mosque was constructed between 1994 and 2007 and was inaugurated in December 2007.[3] The building complex measures approximately 290 by 420 m (950 by 1,380 ft), covering an area of more than 12 hectares (30 acres), excluding exterior landscaping and vehicle parking. The main axis of the building is rotated about 12° south of the true west, aligning it in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The mosque is large enough to accommodate over 40,100 worshippers, while the main prayer hall can hold over 7,000. There are two smaller prayer halls, with a capacity of 1,500 each, one of which is the women's prayer hall.
There are four minarets on the four corners of the courtyard, which rise about 107 m (351 ft) in height. The courtyard, with its floral design, measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft) and is considered to be the largest example of marble mosaic in the world.

Yas Waterworld is a world-leading water park in Abu Dhabi that features thrilling rides and attractions for all ages. Among its many attractions are static surfing waves and slides, as well as shopping and dining.

What a fab water park… awesome slides and best of all… no queues. Better than the Disney ones we thought, if only because it was so much less stressful and considerably cheaper! Even the food was good and not as pricey as we expected. It said don’t bring in own drinks but we were let in with our water. There are also numerous drinking water fountains around which you can top up with. We stayed until closing. Well worth it.

Went there on a Philippine-themed event.
It was filled with exuberant crowd and incredible poolside experience.
Entertaining live band, stand up comedy, and non-stop dancing, the atmosphere was electric.
It was truly the perfect destination to spend your weekends with your loved ones.
*Due to the crowd, we were not able to fully experience all the other rides, certainly coming back specifically for that reason.

We had a blast!! With the weather starting to get warmer, it is certainly a great time to visit Yas Waterworld.We went on a Saturday and it was not that crowded.Although 3 rides were not open during our visit, we were still able to enjoy the day.I commend the staffs for being attentive and always assure safety of everyone specially the kids.They are also very helpful and accomodating.The place is also clean and looks well maintained.
The Marah fortress alone is a great place for the family.My kid just explored all the slides on her own and we felt safe as there are a lot of staffs looking after the kids. The wave pool was also awesome as well as the Lazy River.Most of the rides/slides are about 10 to 20minutes waiting time which is not bad.
Truly a great place to visit for an amazing family bonding!
Update: May 2024
Not a good idea to come on a weekend!! Too much crowded and I don't know what happened but the life guards in the lazy river seemed to lose interest controlling the rowdy and inconsiderate people.Im just surprised because it was far different from our experience before. The shower area was also a chaos. It was just too crowded!!

April 2022 visit with my family and we had blast, both my 7 & 10yrs old had fun.
We booked the tickets and cabana on site due to many covid policies. So check on the park Website for their covid policy as this might be different to other amusement parks.
In all, we had a blast, no queues which I think was down to Ramadan period. We went on all rides, 1/2 where closed but most was opened.
Sufficient food, drinks and ice-cream restaurant choices on site.
The cabana came with a safe, fan, 4 sun loungers, fridge with water bottle and a direct phone to the kitchen to make your drinks and food orders.
See pictures.

This is a fun place to be with your children. They will definitely have a great time. The pools are always a vibe, the slides are the best in the Middle East, they bring out the adrenaline. I did not check out all the amenities but the ones I went to where on point and I can assure you of a wonderful time at this place. You can be at this place from morning to evening and not get bored. For adults, take a book to read just in case. Kids just need to go, it is a safe area as they have plenty of staff around.

Amazing park. This was the kids favourite.
Buy your tickets in advanced. Ideally the 4 park ticket as its much cheaper but a family ticket saves you 25% online.
So many amazing slides, some really throw you around.
Kids loved the wave pool which was good fun and not too rough.
Rollercoaster is good too. In a bikini/shorts! Thats a first.
Oh and try the 5D cinema!!!
Brilliant for kids of all ages and adults too.
5 stars - and should be on everyones list of not to be missed places.

As a family with 2 kids we really enjoyed all rides, wave pool and family area. To experience all rides really needs a full day. Better to reach at morning 10am itself. Staffs are so friendly and helpful. Inside food courts are little expensive but all good food. Lots of water slides were ones adrenaline boosts 😍. It’s a complete fun zone no matter what age you are you will become a kid and really enjoy. We visited during Eid holidays bcos of that waiting period of 30 mints was there for most of the slides. Wave pool was amazing, every 15 mints like sea and next 15 mints like a pool. Even they have slides for 2 year kids also. Superb experience thanks to miral management for such a wonderful water park. ❤️

Had a wonderful experience with family at Yas Water World. Though I am in UAE since this water world is opened, I never got a chance to visit this place.
There were plenty of parking spaces available near the entrance. Not much crowd, might be due to Working day. They are opened from 10 - 6 PM. They informed while entering itself that around 4 rides were closed. They provided free masks for everyone for safety. But there was no compulsion to wear the mask while in water.
If you are carrying ADCB credit or debit cards, almost all the places inside offers 15% discount. They have lockers and changing rooms separately for male and female. They also allow to carry bags inside the waterpark.
Kids enjoyed almost all the places where they had been too. We loved all the places as well.
Guards and employees are very friendly and helpful whenever approached.
Overall, water park is really good for family and kids love it for sure. Great worth for the money spent.

The best water park, with lots of slides and water playgrounds for kids and adults. Most of the slides have a height requrement from 1m 10cm, but small kids can also enjoy the park. There are a few restaurants with pizza and burgers. There are some shows in the evening. The park usually works till 9pm. It is better to come in the morning to avoid standing in the queues. Good experience!

We had free entry into the waterworld 🌊 as we were staying at the WB hotel right next to the park. We got there at 11:00 when the park opened so we went on the slides as we got in which meant no queues for rides. It got increasingly busy by 12:00. We got our lounger right at the big wave pool area and didn't bother with a locker as your stuff really is safe just on the lounger. The snake 🐍 slides were a lot of fun and not too hectic. We also enjoyed the lazy river. There are two small kids areas, one for toddlers and one for children I'd say between 2 and 8. Really a fun area. There are tents to hire as extra that have a mini fridge and towels included. A nice option if you plan to be there the whole day as it offers nice shade and privacy obviously this is an extra charge. There's a 🎢 roller coaster but it's very chilled. There's also a wave house 🌊. A number of food places are dotted around the park as well as some shops to buy rash vests. I would recommend wet shoes as the ground is rough and your feet get sore after a while. We had a really great day. Remember to pack in sunscreen ☀️ 🧴 as it gets very hot. There are life jackets for adults and children to use for free if required.

The ticket sales agent at the counter was super nice and informed about best offers for our group but afterwards none were friendly and we faced many issues with the rudeness and unprofessional behavior at the rides and as well as at the selling points for food and ice cream and that made our visit unpleasant
While setting on the chairs young guys were smoking next to us so I asked one of the attendants: is smoking allowed!!? And his reply shocked me: go ahead but don’t let someone see you , so I told him : I don’t smoke and actually those guys smoking a lot and it bothers us , so his reply was : what can I say , when I smoke I hide but those people don’t understand!!!! And that was it
Park is clean and water temperature in all rides was very comfortable, and I believe the park could take more rides if we to spend a full day
No long lines but a lot of stairs to climb
The prices at the retail, gift and food shops is really high to a top level
The sales person at the ice cream shop next to gift shop inside the building was very unprofessional
Plenty of parking and no lines at the ticket counter
Fun day but a lot of improvement is needed

We went during EID holidays so it was extremely crowded but due to extended hours we could do lot of rides. All famous and high adrenaline rides have huge queue due to crowd but it's worth it. Rides cater to all age groups from small kids to adults. Our 9 yr son enjoyed the Yadi wave river the most. The snakes rides are awesome fun but have to climb a lot. Dawwama ride takes a lot of time so it's advisable to do it first if coming on public holidays. It is better than acquaventure. Carry own towels as it's pretty expensive inside.

According to my wife, this is the only park where you can spend the whole day.
Weekends are super busy, go early at opening time, enjoy the rides, and then spend rest of the day on other activities.
I wud recomend to go on weekdays, no need to go early, no rush, you will enjoy rides as many times as u wish to.

Well, it was an amazing experience here.
When we reached (19th Dec), there was no waiting and staff were so enthusiastic and kind at the entrance.
Locker charge was 45aed, pretty expensive.
They also give an option to load money in a wrist band that can be utilized in the park. Well a pretty good option, no need to carry cash or card in the park.
Rides were amazing, staff were super attentive and courteous.
A must visit place if you are visiting Abu dhabi or Dubai.

It was good.
Maybe due to Ramadan a lot closed on the day and parts of rides turned off, so lazy rivers were a quarter hour very slow and tedious tour with nothing going on.
Food was very good and well priced but unbelievable waits for food with no other customers.
Very clean and lots of staff.
Yas Mall is a large shopping mall located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. It features a wide range of international brands and has 60 food and beverage outlets as well as an amusement park, waterworld, theme park, and cinema.

A very well designed mall. It's huge but it's easy to navigate so you won't find yourself getting lost. Amazing mix of stores from local and international brands, both common and luxury lines.
Eatery options are top notch. And the best thing is, the quiet and calm ambiance. Abu Dhabi is much less crowded than Dubai, and it clearly reflects in the mall situation during the weekends.
However, the wi-fi connection is not that great, it's on and off in several places. I also think more signs are required outside to guide us to find the parking entrance.

The mall we visited was a shopping haven, boasting an impressive array of every big-name brand imaginable. The sheer size of the mall was awe-inspiring, featuring even a Cheesecake Factory to satisfy our sweet tooth with delectable desserts.
One delightful discovery was the Vietnamese restaurant nestled in a small food court. The flavors were authentic and left us thoroughly pleased with the culinary offerings amidst the shopping extravaganza. The mall's design includes numerous nooks and crannies, providing an exciting element of exploration for visitors.
For thrill-seekers, the mall offers indoor skydiving—an exhilarating experience that caters to adventure enthusiasts. A unique feature is the direct access to Ferrari World from the mall, creating a seamless transition between shopping and a world of automotive excitement—all conveniently under one roof.
Families with children will find the Rainforest Café a must-visit. The café's aesthetics captivate young minds, ensuring hours of amusement. It's a perfect retreat for parents seeking both a delightful dining experience and an entertaining environment for their children.
Adding to the mall's charm are vending machines stocked with a diverse range of products, providing an unexpected treat for those exploring the nooks and crannies. Notably, a perfume vending machine adds a touch of luxury and convenience for shoppers looking for a signature scent on the go.
What sets this mall apart is not only its extensive offerings but also the meticulous maintenance that ensures a consistently clean and neat environment. The well-kept surroundings contribute to a pleasant shopping experience, reflecting the mall's commitment to providing visitors with a top-notch retail and leisure destination.
In essence, this mall goes beyond being a mere shopping center; it's a comprehensive entertainment hub. From high-end brands to diverse dining options, thrilling activities, and whimsical spaces for children, the mall caters to a broad spectrum of interests. The seamless integration of attractions like indoor skydiving and direct access to Ferrari World makes it a standout destination for both avid shoppers and adventure enthusiasts alike.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is an amusement park themed around racing cars and other adrenaline-pumping activities. It features 20 attractions, including the world's fastest roller coaster, along with shows, dining options, and more.
The construction is amazing! Amazing amount of greenery! Staff at every attraction very helpful and friendly.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime memory that I will never forget. The coasters were exciting, notably the Formula Russo, the world's fastest roller coaster. Except for the Formula Russo, there is no need to acquire a fast pass for the majority of the rides

The construction is amazing! Amazing amount of greenery! Staff at every attraction very helpful and friendly.
We were with our children who were 12 years old. Unfortunately most of the attractions for younger kids. A place where you could climb and jump - every now and then in the cleaning :-(
At the end of the day they opened a big queue and that saved the day. They work with poor hotels that they recommend on their website. Online customer service does not work well. It's a pity because the entrance costs quite a lot.....

Love this theme park because it’s the first one that has no crowd and literally no wait time except for the two popular rides. There are free lockers to put your stuff. Highly recommended rides: Formula Rossa (fastest roller coaster), Turbo Track (vertical climb, gravity fall) and Flying Aces (non inverted loop).

Went to Ferrari World, and it was amazing! There was something for everyone: kids, teens, and adults. I'm giving it four stars because the Guinness World Record ride was closed, but other than that, everything was perfect. I only had to wait in line for one ride; the rest were quick. The map was really helpful, and I only went on the rides that excited me. I was able to cover everything in 4 hours and even got a chance to repeat a few of my favorite ones. They were really prepared; they had protective headbands for turbans, abayas, and all headgear. The staff was also helpful, and I even got pictures in an F1 car. It was a day well spent!

We had dinner there at one of the restaurant and the food was great and they had so many food options, I’d recommend you go early to enjoy the whole experience because the place closes early even on weekends.

Amazing theme park experience. Fast intense rides include the world's fastest roller coaster as well as Flying Aces, an intensive roller coaster that is sure to get your heart pumping. We were there in September and park was open from 12-6pm. Enough time to get around the whole park if it's not too busy. When we were there it was excellent with minimal queue times on all rides. Food in the park is exceptionally expensive and you are not allowed to take your own with you. Fill up on a good breakfast from the hotel. Park is all Indoors (except for 3 rides that start Indoors). It was an amazing experience

If you’re visiting Dubai or Abu Dhabi this is so worth it. There aren’t a lot of roller coasters but the ones they do have are worth it. Formula Rossa is the world’s fastest roller coaster and it was crazy fun, went on it twice. Plenty of fun for adults and kids. Lots of food options. Highly recommend getting tickets with meal voucher included you’ll save some money. You’ll be able to go kart on a small track too for like 20 bucks. If you want you can drive a Ferrari but that’s a little expensive. The souvenir shops are nice if you want to gift anything Ferrari related. Unfortunately when we went some rides were closed so be prepared for that. If you love Ferrari it’s a must go. Lines weren’t too long but we went on a weekday in January.

It's an amazing adventure park for the thrilling rides and extraordinary ambience. There are multiple rides inside the premises. Almost all the best rides are included in the ticket 🎫 but some extra rides are chargeable. Some of the adventure rides and roller coaster 🎢 will literally give you a goosebumps and are adventurous enough to take your soul out of your body 😅. But you'll surely enjoy this. I strongly recommend this to youngsters. However, senior citizens may not suit in more that half of the rides. So, they can save some extra bucks by refraining from going in. As tickets 🎟 are on higher side. But, every penny paid is worth it. You'll never feel cheated. Great park and great staff. Must Visit when in Abu Dhabi. Minus ➖ one star 🌟 as world's fastest roller 🎢 coaster wasn't available. If some rides are closed 🔐 for maintenance then visit those again after some time ⌚. Don't just leave it. You might find it open 🔓.

Mixed feelings. 1. Yas Mall free shuttle from Dubai is almost impossible to catch -- a small bus that was only able to fit in 24ppl. Instead of an orderly first-come-first-serve, people ended up shoving and shouting for a spot. Ended up having to grab a taxi instead. 2. Like other reviews mention, cloth mask, cloth mask, cloth mask. Wish it were more emphasized to ticket purchasers/holders or even provided for free instead of making it an extra revenue for the amusement park. After all, it was a restriction only put in during the pandemic. There was even a gift store trying to sell me a cloth mask for a ride that didn't need it. Considering the ticket price and all, not sure if I would recommend. The overall concept and location are very cool though, and I enjoyed the holiday decorations. Perhaps the next visit would be better.

This the final place for all roller coaster adventure seekers. Ticket cost is a bit high 345 AED. There are almost 30 attractions here. The highlight here is the Ferrari Rosso which goes from 0-240 kmph in 4.9 seconds. Such a thrilling experience. I liked it.
Flying aces is another one which focus more on making you scream. Liked it a bit better than Ferrari Rosso because the front row seat experience was really thrilling. There is turbo tower, turbo track, fiorano gt challenge which is also thrilling but not as much as the above two. Then comes Ferrari Russo junior a small rollercoaster inside the building. There are many rides for children also.
Price of food is on the higher side. You can see many Ferrari cars, buy their merchandise, but small toy cars worth 50000AED and also even ride an original Ferrari for 1100 AED extra if you have an international license. You can easily spend a day here if you are ready to enter all rides. Not much busy in weekdays.
There is also F1 game simulator which is high tech with pistons under the seats that move sideways and up and down as per the condition in the race simulation. The gokart is also a great thing to ride. The tracks are designed such a way that you can literally drift your karts while cornering. The process from registration to race end rajes almost 30 minutes, but it was a great experience.
Also got to see Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh when he came to ride Formula Rossa. Overall a great experience. 5 stars surely.

Ferrari World in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, is nothing short of fantastic! An absolute must-visit for not just car enthusiasts, but anyone seeking thrilling rides, exciting attractions, and a fun-filled day.
As a Ferrari-inspired theme park, the space blows you away with the sheer range of rides and activities - from the world's fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa, to gentler attractions for younger guests. Plus, the mesmerizing collection of Ferrari cars is a sight to behold!
Its indoor setup was a blessing, providing relief from the outdoor heat. And, there are plenty of dining and shopping options to make the day altogether more enjoyable. The staff were friendly and ensured safety precautions at all times, which made the experience feel both secure and welcoming.
What impressed me most was the seamless blend of entertainment and learning. The attractions like the factory tour and tyre change experience, enabling us to delve into the world of motoring and racing strategies, were fascinating.
In summary, Ferrari World provides an adrenaline-pumping adventure that's hard to forget. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, a Ferrari fan, or looking for a fun day with the family, this iconic theme park will exceed your expectations. I can't wait to revisit!

My experience at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi left much to be desired. I had high expectations, but unfortunately, they were not met during my visit. The main ride, which I was particularly looking forward to, was out of action. This alone was disappointing, but what made matters worse was that the second-best attraction had an excessively long wait time of an hour.
Considering the steep cost of entry tickets, it felt like I didn’t get value for money. The limited attractions for adults were a letdown, and overall, the park didn’t cater well to a more mature audience. It seemed geared more towards children.
Reflecting on the cost and the limited entertainment options for adults, I find it hard to justify a return visit. The financial investment in tickets didn’t align with the overall experience. While I acknowledge that theme parks often cater to various age groups, Ferrari World seemed to lean heavily towards a younger audience, leaving adults with fewer engaging options.
In conclusion, my visit to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi was not worth the investment. The combination of a malfunctioning main ride, lengthy waits, and a lack of adult-oriented attractions makes it difficult for me to recommend it for those seeking a well-rounded and enjoyable theme park experience.

Fantastic experience. Great venue. Maintenance issues meant we had to wait about 30 minutes for the same ride 2 different times. But it was fixed and we were able to have a fantastic experience. The fastest ride wasn't working which was a shame. But their aviation themed ride was absolutely amazing.
We went during Ramadan, on the weekend, during the day. Totally recommend because the lines were minimal. I also wouldn't suggest eating inside because of higher prices. Just wait until you leave and eat in the mall after. We used the teachers discount so it made the maintenance issues more manageable.
Also, for a theme park having everything inside was very environmentally comfortable. Good air conditioning. Just expect that some people don't wear deodorant so lines may get smelly.

Amazing place, with amazing staff very friendly. The rides were awesome and the best one was the flying aces. You can find good food choices at the food court. It’s a massive place and it can take you 4-5 hours to get round. Plenty of spaces to park your car and it’s connected to a shopping mall.

📍Title: Thrilling Experience at Ferrari World Dubai: A Review
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Ferrari World Dubai, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I stepped inside, the allure of Ferrari's iconic cars captivated me. The sleek designs, powerful engines was just amazing.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly experiencing one of the world's fastest roller coaster. The rush of adrenaline as the coaster zoomed through twists, turns, and loops was an extraordinary feeling that I won't soon forget. It's an experience that truly pushes the boundaries of excitement.
Beyond the adrenaline-pumping rides, Ferrari World offered a range of other attractions that were equally enjoyable. From simulators that put me behind the wheel of a Ferrari to interactive exhibits showcasing the brand's rich history, there was something for every enthusiast.
The overall experience at Ferrari World Dubai was exceptional. The attention to detail, the friendly staff, and the seamless organization all contributed to a memorable visit. And of course, I couldn't resist capturing the magic on camera, snapping numerous photos and videos to cherish the memories.

Great adventure. Ideal for tourists to spend the day. Come prepared with comfortable shoes and clothing. Lots of walking to be done and lots of things to see. You will need at least 4 hours to do 70% of the rides. Sundays and Mondays most popular! Book in advance to skip ticketing queue. Expect queues at most popular rides. If it rain, stay away as outdoor rides closes while raining. Food and beverages can be bought inside. Lots of restaurants inside. Your cellphones, jackets, etc can be placed in lockers/bins before each ride.

Super fun day- visiting from Canada. The rides are fast and intense!! Had so much fun. Worth the admission- much cheaper than Disneyland and more adult faster rides. Loved the upside down backwards roller coaster (forgot the name). The fast pass is worth it here (only $50 cad more each) as the lines were over an hour each on a weekday afternoon. Bought tickets in advance for 10% off. It sucks the world’s fastest roller coaster was under maintenance but we knew that going into it as it was stated on their website - read reviews and people said it was worth going to anyways. Will have to be back to try the Formula Rossa! Other than the roller coasters, there were some calm rides that were good between the fast/ intense ones. The food area and stores were nice to walk around too.

Had an amazing and thrilling experience at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. From the moment we stepped foot into the park, we were greeted with excitement and anticipation. The park itself is a marvel, with its striking architecture and design, truly representing the spirit and grandeur of Ferrari.
One of the highlights of our visit was the Flying Ace roller coaster. It was an exhilarating experience that left us breathless. The speed and twists of the ride were mind-boggling and certainly not for the faint-hearted. We also had the chance to ride the fastest roller coaster in the park, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The rush of adrenaline and the feeling of sheer speed were unmatched.
What impressed us most about Ferrari World Abu Dhabi was the minimal waiting times for the rides. We had ample time to explore and enjoy everything the park had to offer without feeling rushed or crowded. This allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the experience and create lasting memories.
However, one aspect that could be improved upon is the cost of food in the park. It is undeniably expensive, and we were disappointed to learn that bringing our own food was not allowed. We highly recommend fueling up with a hearty breakfast from your hotel before entering the park, as this will save you both time and money.
Another notable feature of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is that it is predominantly indoors, providing a climate-controlled environment that is ideal for year-round enjoyment. Only a few rides start outdoors, but even then, the experience remains exceptional.
Located in Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit is the world's most advanced racing facility. Home to the Formula One Grand Prix each November, it features a fast 7.5-kilometre track with high-speed turns and treacherous straights.
Enormous modern racetrack. Plenty of bathrooms, comfortable seats. Could have used more food concessions with more choices. Lines for food and drinks and souvenirs were too long. Track had great visibility and is very well kept.

We watched the final race of the 2022 F1 season at Yas Marina Circuit. It was an amazing experience and I recommend giving it a try. Great atmosphere.
Really busy which is normal, but you still get in and out quite fast regardless.
I would like to try the W Hotel next as you can see parts of the track from some of the rooms.
Joshua Taylor — Google review
I visited Yas Marina Circuit, prominent for the Formula 1 event. my experience was great. The racing track roads are visible from all grandstands. so you can vividly enjoy the eye-catching moments of the contenders. more fun even from the Abudhabi hill. Enjoy the best service from the VIP sections.
The area has enough valet/parking area at all grand stands, wheel chair accessibility. enough lighting. security at max. customer services are exceptional.
Drawbacks is that there are many spectators, so depending on you ticket accessibility level. You might be obstructed by others.
You may have to stand for some hours if you didn't get tickets of seating in Grandstands. so book early always.

Nothing beats the F1 experience. As a motor racing enthusiast ... I highly recommend travelling to an F1 circuit.

This track is awesome! I did the GT Ferrari driving experience. Unfortunately, when I arrived, there was an issue with my driver’s license because I recently had it renewed and the new license only showed the renewal date, not the original issue date. I had to find a picture of an old one; which took about two hours, so I missed my track time. Luckily, the staff was SUPER nice, professional, and accommodating. When I came back they got me checked in right away and we hit the track. The instructor was great at providing feedback and corrective action. Part of my lap video file got corrupted, but nobody is to blame for that.
Robert Perecko — Google review
We booked a Formula 3000 driving experience and I have to say we were a bit disappointed! You must be aware that the instructor always rides ahead and you do not have the right to overtake him. So, the average speed is 60 km/h ! You can't feel the power of the car.
Also, it is very difficult to get to the place, we turned the wrong way a couple of times, as there are no signs.
By the way, the staff is very friendly.

Do you desire the greatest adrenaline rush? F1 enthusiasts must visit and complete a few laps at Yas Marina. The instructors are so good that you actually feel like a F1 driver. Always booked, make advance preparations. I had the good fortune to experience driving the Aston Martin GT4. One of the sites I want to visit repeatedly.

Went for F1 and had a good time. Only recommendation is to add more signage for people to know which shuttles go where. For instance the shuttle at gate 19 to take people to Horizon 360. No one knew. It was added, unnecessary walking.

So many excellent choices : take the circuit tour! Go car drifting! My favorite- go driving on the track!!! Go running or cycling - they will give you the bike for free!

A beautiful 2021 F1 grand prix track. Sad to see the 2021 championship decided by F1 officials prior to the end of race. There is no way a racer with bald tires can compete with another racer with fresh tires. The bald tire racer can compete only from where the fresh tire racer was further back in the pack before the pace car did finally pull in on lap #57.

I was lucky enough to get a last minute tour place to see the home of the Abu Dhabi GP - Yas Marina. This was one of the Number 1 things to do for me when visiting the UAE and I was absolutely delighted with the entire experience. Our tour guide was brilliant, informative and made the tour fun. He related back to things which had happened on the track in the past. If you are going to the UAE you have to go to Yas Marina and experience this. Thank you to our guide on 20th August 2023. I will be back to have a track day at some point!

The Emirates Park Zoo is a family-friendly zoo located in Abu Dhabi. The zoo offers a variety of activities and animal interactions for visitors of all ages. It features the Petting Zoo, Bird Park, Wildlife Park, The Farm, The Aquarium, the Reptile House and more.
We went to feed the elephants and see the sea lion but the sea lion show is not available. I enjoyed feeding the elephants though. The best feature of the Zoo is on how they kept the animals’ area clean and well kept. The animals are very neat as well compared to other zoo I went into. You can see the animals closer and really appreciate them better. It has a lot of activities for the kids which can be enjoyed by the “kids at heart” as well 😍

It was an unplanned trip here. The place is nearby Deerfields Mall. We just saw the sign along the road and we dropped by here. Entrance fee is affordable. Animal cages were next to each other so you wont get tired of walking. The best part for me was the goat milk feeding and the elephant feeding. It was such an amazing experience.

My kids had a wonderful time at Emirates park zoo. The zoo is well maintained and have some good dining options..The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and were happy to answer all the questions.
The feeding sessions and animal encounters allowed the kids to get up close and personal with some of the inhabitants. You can also choose from some of the experiences park offers like breakfast with giraffes or lunch with leopards etc
There is so much more to do at the park. Kids can go carting, zipline or try an obstacle course. There is a pony ride too.
Overall its a very good educational experience and kids fun day out. One can easily spend 3 to 4 hours there.. and kids will keep talking about it for days..

Visited the zoo two days back. Variety of animals seen in the zoo. Zoo is kept clean and tidy. What I found unique in this zoo is that the animals looked super happy whether it was the goats, cows or giraffes.. We saw tigers playfully running around. Seeing them pacing atound is common but playing and running around was unique. Very interesting for kids with feeding the animals, shows..Must visit place..

A beautiful place to visit along with young children. Lots of learning for kids. They can see different varieties of animals and also get a chance to interact with some of them.
The availability of house shows, play areas and gaming zones are an added advantage to spending a lovely day at this place.
They also have inhouse restaurants to cater to the visitors.

I really enjoyed this Zoo, there’s lots of opportunities to feed the animals which makes it very interactive. I would highly recommend the Elephant Experience where you learn more about these amazing creatures and then get to feed them too. In all the Zoos I have visited, I have never had as many opportunities to feed the animals. I was very impressed and the animals looked very happy too. More reviews @ExploreWithKash

If you can ignore the smell of the goats, this park is absolutely fantastic! What we love is that everything is fairly close together and does not involve endless walking to get from one place to another. Feeding the animals so up close is a great experience for kids. We loved the giraffe feeding and watching the monkeys.

Visited the Zoo over the weekend and absolutely loved all the different animal areas. A must for anyone with kids who enjoy a more interactive experience. Tickets are 50AED and then you purchase the food bags for animal feeding separately once you're in. Plenty of cafes in the zoo too and very reasonably priced. Favourite part of the day was feeding the giraffes AND seeing the Lion feed. Approximately 50-60 minute drive from Dubai.

I would recommend this small zoo, you can cover it in a couple hours!

The Al Wathba Wetland Reserve is an important bird reserve in the United Arab Emirates that is home to both flamingos and other conserved animals. The reserve has two walking trails that allow visitors to get up close and personal with nature.
Very nice place for natural evening walk and watch some birds. View of flamingos are awesome. Walkway about 3km and closing around 5.00pm. Thanks to Mr.Salem who welcomes the visitors.

If you are looking for a relaxing nature walk with a bit of bird watching, this place will surely be for you.
We tried the flamingo trail which is approximately more than 3 kms. We completed the trail in about 1 hour and 30mins but for others they might be able finish it in 45mins. Resting is more important to us, we’re not running on a marathon anyways.
Al Wathba Wetland Reserve is open from 8am to 4pm daily except monday. They are only open during winter season and close during summer.

I really liked it here, we were given some good information, and a ride in the car around the wetlands where we got to have a quick tour and sight of the flamingoes and ducks.

Mesmerizing sound of birds . Place for nature lovers and bird - watchers . I went with kids they enjoyed it too.
There is a good walk inside { 3 kms appx } keeping that in consideration carry water, cap , walking shoes , sunscreem. Carry Binoculars . Be empty handed while walking to make the walk easy and fun. There were a lot of birds including flock of flamingos . Beautiful site to see them , their grunting is heard from far. Volunteers at the entrance are helpful , showed the flamingo eggs etc . So kids enjoyed it . After 4. am they do not allow entry. but the reserve is open until 6 . It is for free .

Really wonderful place to visit. There are two roads, one of the long 3 km (my opinion more interesting than the short one), you can see flamingo and the other birds there. There are several wood houses, don't be afraid to enter and open the small window in the house that gives you a pretty cool view. Also, during the walk, you can find different types of plants, flowers, trees.
On the other road (which is short 1.5km) you can find lizards, but unfortunately, I didn't see anyone.
That is also a cool place to have a rest from the busy city, lovely quiet.
Don't forget to wear a hat and take water with you.
I asked personnel about timing. It's open from 8 am till 6 pm, last entry at 4 pm. At the end of March, it will be closed for the summer season and will be open in November. Hurry up!
Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!

The Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital is the first and largest hospital in the world dedicated to the hawk. The hospital treats about 6,000 falcons a year and also offers veterinary programs for other animals, including a shelter for the rare saluki breed of dogs.
I went to surrender a street cat and found a very quick procedure to complete the process. It was my first visit and yet to know about this Hospital and Pet Shelter. This is really great I found a place where we can leave some poor cats those are struggling on the street.

While it may be a bit difficult getting to this attraction with all the road construction in the area, and detours...just allow yourself a little extra time to arrive. The tour of the hospital was really amazing, fun, and informative. It is good for all ages. Seeing these amazing creatures being cared for was insightful. The tour took us about 90 minutes and included an introduction, a chance to see the falcons in the clinic, time to hold a falcon on your gloved arm for a photo, and a visit to see them in an aviary.

I enjoyed it very much. First, you are taken to a room with posters and given a short lecture about falcon and falconry traditions, then you are taken to the ward where they explain a little more about the birds, show you how the anesthesia is done and does a procedure (hoped to see a endoscopy but the bird needed just a little nail trim 😄). They let you hold a falcon and take some photos. Then the guide shows you more of a hospital and other birds they have. Drawback is that its a little bit pricey and it's in a middle of nowhere so getting a taxi back can be a little bit tricky.

We had a cat that got run over by a car accidentally. My family contacted the hospital at night and they explained they have emergency and are open but at an extra charge.
The turn you need to take to get into the center is not clear on the high way, you will need to pass through a gate that says keep door open then follow the road to reach. It was a bit confusing the first time during night, so the road on Google maps is actually OK.
We took the cat and had to pay for a couple of things including some medications, xray and examinations.
We were told she needs a surgery. The next day we accepted the surgery knowing there is risk after making the full payment in advance including follow up charges like medicines etc.
It was more than what I would normally expect but we decided to go for it to end her sufferings. She had fractures and required hernia and spay since she was pregnant. Unfortunately, the surgery did not succeed and neither the mother nor the kittens made it. It's difficult to judge the doctor expertise since she was not in a good shape and we knew there were high risks.
I was asked if I want to keep the ash and I said no. Later, when I requested the balance I was told it is not refundable but it can be used for other treatments or to buy any supplements ie food, toys, etc. This might be mentioned clearly in the forms I signed.
I clearly requested being informed of any charges upfront and found an Incineration cost added without my consensus. After some calls and discussions in person it was considered part of the balance amount.
There was good follow up by the hospital after admittance and pre and during surgery. I signed forms and made the payment online. Mr Hassan was friendly and explained many things clearly and was following up well.
To summarize, it's good to find a place that is open outside working hours. Some of the charges in my personal view are on the higher end, but I have little experience in this. They charge 80 AED per calender day for hospitalization. My cat spent 13 hours but I was charged for the two days. I don't think this is the norm. If you want to give your cat away for some reason, they provide a shelter at a charge of around 165 for female and around 120 for male cats. If you want to adopt, there is a charge of over 400 including chip vaccinations and food if I remember correctly.

Advice to everyone here and not to defend the place but I was told by a vet in AD (and shown emails) that falcon hospital sends on a Daily basis with all the microchip numbers of cats they have found or got surrendered to them to try and help in locating the owners.
This email is sent to all the vets in AD and as per the one who informed me of this "we don't have time to check these".
So if you have lost a pet who is microchipped, go BACK TO YOUR VET and ask them to check the records.
The problem here is that there are no databases for pets.
Moreover, people who are surrendering their beloved pets should instead opt to find them a home through the rescuers as the hospital has dozens of animals surrendered to them.

The falcon hospital is an amazing experience that teaches you about the falcons. The care and time that goes into them, and why they are so loved throughout the UAE.

Truly wonderful experience learning about falcons and their behavior. Don't forget to book the tour in advance as these happen at stipulated times. Fahad and the vet team were great hosts in explaining everything about trimming their talons and beaks under anaesthesia, and showing us around the premises. Aside from falcons, there are several owl species, peacocks and lots of other birdlife in this facility.

I have to say that this place was by far my favourite during my trip to Abu Dhabi! I am big on animal rescue and so I just had to see how falcons are cared for in this country. It’s safe to say that they’re in great hands and the facility here is top notch!
We signed up for the tour around the hospital and since we visited during a weekday, it was just us and so it was basically a private tour which was awesome. Our tour guide was the best and he was super funny. We had the best time with him and he definitely made us feel welcomed!
We were able to see them do a routine procedure as well as hold the falcon ourselves. They even let us feed one of them which was such a memorable experience!
Definitely a must visit!

Their vets are also good and professional, they did my dog’s castration and he only had a few stitches and was back to his goofy self after a few hours.

Dubai's Al Qudra Lake is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert. It has extensive dunes and pools, as well as over 100 bird species, making it a perfect place for all nature lovers to relax and enjoy the great outdoors. The lake can be found just south of Dubai city center, and makes for a great day out for all.
Al qudra lakes is a perfect getaway from city life. Beautiful place to spend weekend with children, family & loved ones. We spotted ducks, swan, goose, flamingos & other birds. Good spot for Camping & barbecue. You need 4 wheel drive car to reach this place since the roads are bad. Also dont trust Google for maps. When you are nearby just trust the sign boards and go as they show.

Fantastic location to camp out in the winter, better to have a SUV when you drive here, roads are unpaved and uneven. Favourite location to stargaze and avoid the light pollution.

Al Qudra Lake is a man-made lake in the middle of the Sahi AL Salam Desert in the outskirts od Dubai.( UAE) The Lake, spread over 10 hectares, is home to more than one hundred species of birds including many migratory birds. We also got to see a few Arabian sand gazelles, flamingos, and many migratory birds.
I went with my family camping on the banks of the lake. Many people came with tents n barbecue.
It's very entertaining for kids as they get to play in the wild outside the comfort of their homes.
My grandkids prepared sand castles and played with their rubber toys. They loved bird watching and fish feeding.
There is a viewing gallery that overlooks the whole lake n it's surroundings.
All in all. It was a great feeling to have such picnic spots to drive down to on weekends.

My favorite spot to camp or stargazing during Dubai winter. The path is accessible so you an enter and park by the lake with your sedan or hatchback. I prefer to come at or after midnight, have a night barbecue, chill with friends and tell each other scary stories, watch the sun rises, and head home. This timing is great if you don't want to see a lot of people. Weekends can get busy. Please do not litter and take your trashes back home with you.

Great place to introduce kids to the outdoors in the UAE for Stargazing and camping. I prefer to reach before the sunsets to find a spot.
Get some marshmallows for kids to enjoy s’mores

The place is nice, peaceful, and has many birds… we were enjoying our get away time until the sun started going down and that’s when many of visitors (with all due respect to the good ones) were drinking like fish, yelling, screaming, cursing, playing Indian music out loud and stayed doing that all night long until around 4:30 AM. It was our first time and last time for sure.
It’s sad how the government works so hard to provide us many beautiful places and the visitors come and ruin it. We couldn’t sleep all night because it wasn’t safe to sleep with a wife and kids while bunch of drunks and irresponsible people surrounding you screaming and cursing in foreign language. When it hit 6 am we packed and left. I wish the government BANS ALCOHOL and search the cars before entering the premises. I have camped in many countries and places, this one is the worst ever because of the visitors. We have a saying in Arabic goes “oh foreigner be polite” it means when you go somewhere to visit, you have to be at your upmost manners and respect.
