Sunset City Tour Abu Dhabi

This tour shows Abu Dhabi in the evening light, which is when the city looks its best. Indeed, pick-up is at around 16:00 at the cruise terminal. Moreover, the timing is arranged so the mosque is reached around sunset.

The Mosque at Golden Hour

As the sun drops, the white marble of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque takes on shades of pink and gold, and the pools around it mirror the domes. Later, as darkness falls, the mosque is lit by a system based on the phases of the moon. Along the way, the Corniche and the skyline glow in the last light. Above all, temperatures at this hour are far more comfortable than at midday.
