Day order matters: put the long Abu Dhabi day between two lighter days so nobody is exhausted.
Best suited to: Families and couples who want the main sights, Abu Dhabi and one theme-park or water-park day.

Day-by-day 6-day plan

How to adjust this plan
- Without children, replace the theme-park day with Museum of the Future and a rooftop dinner.
- Visiting in summer? Do Abu Dhabi's mosque in the morning and move outdoor activities to the evening.
- If you only have five days, drop Day 3 rather than shortening Abu Dhabi.
Book these early
- Theme-park or Aquaventure tickets
- Abu Dhabi private car or group tour
- Mosque entry rules and dress code

Frequently asked questions
Is Abu Dhabi worth a day?
+
For many travellers the Grand Mosque alone is worth it. Pair it with the Hindu Mandir if that interests you.
Which theme park is best for children?
+
It depends on age. Water parks suit most families in warm months. Ask your agent which parks are open on your dates.
Do we need a visa for each emirate?
+
No. A UAE visa covers entry to the country, and you can travel between emirates freely.
Can a travel agent customise this Dubai itinerary?
+
Yes. Post your dates, group and budget on QuoteMyTrip and travel agents can send plans based on this outline, with their own hotels and prices for you to compare.
