Overview

Embark on a Big Bus Tour of Abu Dhabi, the world’s largest operator of open-top sightseeing buses. By using the open-air sightseeing bus system, you can view the city at your own pace on or on top of the bus. In addition to the pre-recorded comments, there are 8 languages available on board.

With a full Al Ain Panoramic Day Tour, the Big Bus visits the garden city of Abu Dhabi, located about an hour and a half away by car, which features key landmarks such as Al Qattara Fort, Al Hili Fort, Hili Grand Tomb, Qasr Al Muwaiji, Al Ain Palace Museum, and Al Jahili Fort, about an hour and a half away from Abu Dhabi. In addition to being a perfect destination for history and culture enthusiasts, it is also an exotic destination for nature lovers.

A free intercity shuttle runs daily between Abu Dhabi and Dubai and Al Ain as part of the tour, which has an English-speaking tour guide. Passengers will have the opportunity to relax while discovering Al Ain’s stunning, verdant nature, historical landmarks, UNESCO World Heritage landmarks, tombs, palaces, souks (markets), mosques, and active oasis plantations and farms. A fully catered lunch and free admission to forts and museums are also included in the tour.
