    "You simply have to visit this beautiful mosque if you're in the UAE! The architecture, colors, and design are stunning – it's a must-see! There are lots of great tours that take you from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. We think you'll love it! But we highly recommend booking a chauffeur service -we booked ours using Get Your Guide. That way, you can pay for 10 hours and have the freedom to visit the mosque for as long as you like. Then you can head off and explore the city at your own pace! We also suggest you visit the mosque early, as it gets pretty full after 11:00."

    "The perfect experience is simply great, far higher than expected, that is, the process at the beginning is a bit confusing, it takes some time, you can swim the water world for the second time, the dressing room pays attention to family parents and privacy, which is very good! We usually go there, and there are many fewer people than the domestic scale, but there are many people than other parks on Yas Island. It closes at 9 pm that night, and the fastpass is still a bit of a role, especially some large-scale stimulating water projects and ceiling roller coasters. After 8 pm, there is basically no need to queue."

    "Opposite the hotel is the Emirates Palace. I thought that it was better to have a meal for afternoon tea, so I set a buffet lunch. The buffet of 650 yuan per capita is really nothing to eat, seafood is small and average, not worth the price. Even coffee is paid separately. Afternoon tea is in the lobby, and the snacks look good? The waiters along the way are very polite, answer all questions, and three steps, to be honest, no one will really get lost."

    "As our first attraction in Abu Dhabi, this palace is a pure white building, a relatively niche attraction, not much content to see, it is the previous palace, very Arab built-in, and a lookout station, most of the buildings do not have air conditioning, a bit hot, but still very special. Tickets are included in the art center next to it. There happened to be a China-related exhibition that opened in the afternoon, because it was not arranged, so I just went shopping."

    Highlights: Built in 1793, the Ehsen Palace is the oldest building in Abu Dhabi. It used to be the residence of the Sheikh family, the government department and the trial court. Today the palace remains in its more primitive state, showing the historical character of Abu Dhabi. The strong Middle Eastern style Eichsen Palace is built in the form of a castle with pure white walls, so it is also called "white castle". However, it was no longer "white" until after the renovation from 1976-1983, the palace was restored to its original appearance. The elegant diamond lattice windows can be seen on the gate, while the Arabian oil lamps on the wall, the surrounding wind towers and fortress buildings have a strong Middle Eastern atmosphere. The interior of the palace is also a museum, which displays traditional prehistoric artifacts and historical pictures of the UAE. The exhibits include a natural history section, Abu Dhabi history section, etc. The natural history section mainly introduces the evolution history of animals living in desert environments; while the history section of Abu Dhabi has many historical artifacts, such as pottery and handicrafts. In addition, the QasrAlHosnFestival will hold the QasrAlHosnFestival in the Eichsen Palace every February. At that time, tourists can participate in a guided tour to enter the palace, and there will be various traditional cultural performances and other activities.
