BIG BUS TOURS

Since their invention in 1853 in Paris, double-decker buses have travelled the world. Here, you'll find the classic London model, in an open-top version, for a tour of at least 1.5 hours, depending on the traffic. With the map available online or at the ticket office, choose your boarding point and off you go! Depending on the season, departure every half hour from Abu Dhabi Mall, the 1 hour 30 minute red line tour takes in the iconic buildings of Qasr al-Hosn, the Corniche, Sheikh Zayed Memorial, Emirates Palace, Qasr al-Wathan Presidential Palace, Heritage Village and the World Trade Center. This tour, with commentary in French (headphones provided), allows you to embrace the city in its entirety without getting tired of driving and especially without getting lost. We highly recommend the Big Bus for a first contact with Abu Dhabi. The green tour lasts 1 hour and 40 minutes with departures every 30 minutes. The bus will take you from Abu Dhabi Mall to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Yas Island to discover its theme parks and the Formula 1 circuit. This route will then take you to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which also allows you to get off for an hour to visit it. You can then finish in the Mangrove District. Double Abu Dhabi/Dubai combos are now available. These allow you to go back and forth in a day and see the highlights of each city. See rates and details on the web.
