Ctrip's instant ticket issuance is impeccable, and the price is the best. The Louvre Museum is very convenient to access, and the surrounding buildings are unique. Any photo you take will give you a sense of blockbuster movies. The collections in the museum are still involuntarily attracted by the Chinese collections🤩
such a beautiful museum, a wonderful site seeing to have in Abu Dhabi.

No reservation is required, you can enter by buying a ticket. There is no dress code. If you want to see the light show, you need to go in before closing time and walk around until the light show starts. It is recommended to enter around 5 or 6 o'clock so that you can see both daytime and nighttime views. The business hours are different every day, you can check the official website. It is really magnificent here, full of local tyrants, and it is worth a visit!

Trip.com seconds of ticket issuance, nothing to say, I chose a package of 4 to 2, which is more cost-effective. This is a place to chase dreams, but unfortunately the physical tolerance is limited, only challenged a limit project, and I regret to withdraw... Hey, everything is still young.
Ferrari theme park is very suitable for parent-child travel, especially it has the fastest roller coaster in the world, it is worth experiencing, and Ferrari cars can be seen everywhere in the park, how to take pictures, all kinds of entertainment activities, the key is that there are few people, very comfortable.

A purely indoor large oceanarium, fully air-conditioned, where you can experience all four seasons, you have to sigh at the wealth of the UAE.
There are 360-degree panoramic stands, a large aquarium, a penguin house, walruses, sea lions, seals, dolphin performances, flamingos, etc. in the aquarium, which is very interesting.
The manta roller coaster is quite fun.
Buying tickets directly at the park entrance is fast and much cheaper than the on-site ticket. At the same time, you can enter the second park within 270 days, so you can flexibly arrange the time for the next park and facilitate the next entry.

The roller coaster is super exciting, but it really makes your legs weak when you get off. There are not many places suitable for children who are too young to play. Warner is more suitable for children. They are all indoors, and it is also very comfortable to play in summer. The queue time is not long compared to domestic amusement parks, which is good.
The place is not very big, it is more for children, there are no exciting projects, there are four or five 4D dynamic movie projects, of which the quality of Green Lantern and Batman is very average. It can be finished in 2~3 hours. Overall, the grade is similar to Fantawild. You cannot bring your own drinks and food, and your backpack will be checked at the entrance.

This was an extremely pretty Islamic mosque especially during sunset. It was very big and has a lot of parking spaces.
The moment I stepped into the Grand Mosque of Sheikh Zayed, I was enveloped by a solemn atmosphere, as if time were still at the moment, and my mind was calmed down. This magnificent building is not only a holy place for religion, but also a crystallization of art and culture, and every detail exudes a unique charm and is breathtaking. The exterior of the Grand Mosque is a must, white as snow marble buildings shine in the sun, 82 domes scattered in different sizes, like a white sea of layers. Four towering minarets are directly in the clouds, as if they are messengers to heaven, calling the hearts of believers. Entering the interior of the mosque is even more shocked by its luxury and refinement. The walls are set with exquisite patterns, made up of a variety of precious gems and shells, and glowing with colorful light against the light. The gilded decoration on the pillars reflects the dazzling gold light through the sun, adding a sacred and solemn atmosphere to the whole space. In addition to the shock of the building itself, the cultural connotation of the Grand Mosque also deeply touched me. Here I feel the esoteric depth of Islam's culture and the advocacy of peace, tolerance and respect. The staff at the temple were warm and friendly, and they patiently explained the history, culture and religious rituals of the mosque to tourists, which gave me a deeper understanding and understanding of Islam. In this multicultural world, the Grand Mosque is like a bridge connecting people of different faiths and cultures, promoting communication and understanding between each other. Visiting the Grand Mosque is also a journey of dialogue with your own heart. In this peaceful and sacred land, I put aside the noise and disturbances of the world and calm down to think about the meaning and value of life. Standing in the spacious courtyard, looking at the magnificent buildings around, breathing the fresh air, and filled with awe of nature and human creativity. If you have the chance to come to Abu Dhabi, don’t miss this magnificent mosque, and believe it will bring you a double feast of mind and vision.

nice park, clean area, clean pools. a must visit destination for fun and thrills. the staff are friendly, we spent an exhilarating day and well recommended
Perfect experience, simply amazing, far above expectations, but the process was a bit confusing at the beginning, which delayed some time. The water world can be visited for the second time, and the dressing room focuses on family and privacy, which is very good!
We usually go there, and there are much fewer people than in China, but there are many people compared to other parks on Yas Island. It closes at 9 pm that day, and fastpass is still useful, especially for some large and exciting water projects and ceiling roller coasters. There is basically no need to queue after 8 pm.

No.11 of Best Things to Do in Emirate of Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi Folk Village is located by the sea. You can learn about the process of Abu Dhabi's rise from poverty to wealth and experience the production and life of the locals before they became rich. It is worth a visit. The sea view is beautiful.
20230224 afternoon:
1. "Abu Dhabi Folk Village" is a scenic spot that displays traditional dwellings, folk customs, and agriculture and animal husbandry in Abu Dhabi before the discovery of oil. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the sea water presents the blue-green and clearness of the tropical ocean. It is a high-quality scenic spot that combines humanities and beautiful scenery. Admission is free.
① Address: Northeast end of Theater Road, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
② Transportation: No bus, easy to park by car.
③ Peak season: None.
④ Time: 1 hour if you only take pictures.
2. The Folk Village is a small town surrounded by city walls. There are various accessible Arab-style buildings under the city walls. I turned counterclockwise. First, pass the historical art exhibition (a general introduction to the humanities of the UAE), the women's handicraft workshop (the interior is an exhibition hall displaying UAE women's handmade jewelry, but the door is closed), and the mosque (you have to take off your shoes to enter, I am not a Muslim so I didn't enter) and then arrive at the desert area. The desert area has restored the appearance of desert dwellings. Stone dwellings can be visited. There are carpets, pillows, oil lamps and other furniture inside. There are donkeys, horses and dromedaries in the livestock pen outside the house, which are the most popular. There are also small landscape decorations such as small wells and desert tents.
3. The beach area on the east side, the local former water transportation tools-wooden boats are lined up on the beach, forming a sharp contrast with the high-rise buildings in the background, and the modern and ancient atmospheres collide passionately. The white sand of the beach is very fine, the sea water is the iconic blue-green color of the tropical ocean, the water wave texture is delicate and agile, like a sapphire in the sun. On the other side of the coast is the docking pier for sailboats and yachts. The cost of renting the pier locally is not cheap, and it is even more expensive than buying a boat in the long run. The pier is in the same frame with the "Rixo Marina Hotel" in the background. This arched hotel is similar in appearance to the "Atlantis Hotel" the day before yesterday. It has not yet been built. Judging from the scale, it is estimated to be a seven-star standard.
4. Continue to walk counterclockwise to the museum, which displays various daily necessities of UAE residents: clothing, imitations, jewelry, pottery, storage, shoes, tableware, books, pens and ink, weapons and armor, banknotes, and animal specimens, etc., which are closely related to life, and old photos are used to show the most realistic images. There is a cameraman shooting in the house next to it, and tourists are not allowed to enter. It is a pity to miss it.
5. The northeast corner is related to agricultural facilities. It is hard to tell what the two large stone platforms are used for. Although the agricultural irrigation and water wheels are slightly different from those in China, they are still clear at a glance. There are also sheep (the tour guide said that this kind of sheep that does not grow up is abundant in the local area), dairy cows, and long-haired sheep (the breed cannot be seen, and the horns are curved). There are also many tourists who stop here. It seems that animals are always the favorite things that people can't help but pick up the camera.
6. The building on the north side is a local handicraft workshop, containers made of porcelain, finance, glass and other materials, as well as knives, blanket paintings, etc., but no one is watching the store. I don’t know whether it is for sale or just for exhibition. Finally, we entered another museum, which is located diagonally opposite the museum. Metal products are specially displayed here, such as coins, weapons, clocks, etc., and the walls are covered with old photos.
7. There are novel small objects to take pictures of in every corner of the folk village, such as rusty iron anchors...
The word count exceeds the limit, so continue in the last picture...

Interesting spot for both children and adults. The highlight is the huge tank with the tunnel, but the other themed areas are equally cool too. Some spots are interactive and there's a kids area with some activities.
This is from The National Aquarium,Abu Dhabi .The largest Aquarium of Middle east. With over 46000 animals, it’s stunning and an absolute must visit...There’s something I realised while travelling with mumma. Mums in general I believe are so deeply attached to the family, that even if they do enjoy, they feel deeply for other family members not being there. Everytime she saw something, she said oh I wish zara ( my sister) could see this, everytime she ate something she said Zahan ( my brother) would have been so happy to eat this. Everytime she saw a garden she’d be like your dady would be so happy to see this and took a picture of everything to show them. It’s like our mums, love us so much that they even keep us above their happy. Such magical creatures, these mums

It seems that you need to make an appointment for meals as mentioned in the tour content... I didn't experience that, but everything else was fine. It's best to wear a mask when you go to see eagles in the molting period, because they will smell very smelly, hahahaha
I spent Boxing Day in December 2019 at this historically connected location. Adults and children alike thoroughly enjoyed the surgical demonstrations and feeding of the birds, it is a perfect place for families. Came away with a souvenir leather hood and it was the best conversation piece of my December 2019 holiday trip! My all time favourite Abu Dhabi attraction! A must see!
