“It was great to see the Louvre from the water. It provides a completely different perspective, very unique. Make sure to bring a change of clothes, you will be wet as some water runs through the seat. We were guided by Shakil and Waseem. Both seem very professional and well aware of the museum and the construction of it.”

3.Abu Dhabi city tour with Entry ticket to Louvre Museum from Abu Dhabi

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 29 reviews · from $39

Ride an air-conditioned coach through Abu Dhabi, visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Heritage Village, then spend about 2.5 hours at Louvre Abu Dhabi. English guide support is paired with audio in up to 10 languages. Downtown pickup is included, with a $15 supplement for Yas Island hotels.

“The tour is as described. You get a pair of headphones and connect them to the audio guides installed on the van. We did the tour with a 9-month-old baby and it was good. Both the Mosque and the Louvre Museum let you in with a stroller, which made our day easier. For the Fruit and dates market you need to pay in cash in case you want to buy something. Our driver Qasim Shah was really nice.”
