#aquarium
I recently visited SeaWorld Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and it was an absolute blast! 🐬🎢 This newly opened marine park combines thrilling rides with incredible marine life encounters, making it a perfect spot for families and anyone who loves the ocean. The entrance fee is about AED 295 ($80) for adults, and it’s totally worth it for a full day of fun and adventure.
The park is divided into different zones, each offering unique experiences. The highlight for me was the One Ocean show at the main theater—watching the dolphins and sea lions perform was both exciting and educational. 🦭🌊 The aquariums are packed with diverse marine species, from colorful coral reefs to majestic sharks, and the glass tunnel that takes you through the underwater world is breathtaking. There’s even a cool penguin encounter where you can get up close with these adorable creatures!
For thrill-seekers, the roller coasters and water rides were fantastic, with my personal favorite being the Manta coaster that simulates the gliding of a manta ray. 🛶🦈 After exploring the park, I checked out the nearby Yas Mall for some shopping and grabbed dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants. You can also visit Ferrari World or Warner Bros. World, which are just a stone’s throw away from SeaWorld, making Yas Island the ultimate entertainment hub. 🌟

In the afternoon, I visited the Qasr Al Hosn, Abu Dhabi’s oldest stone building, which is rich in history and offers great insights into the city’s past. Finished off my trip with a delightful meal at a local restaurant, savoring some traditional dishes. 🏝️🍽️

Real GOLD in my coffee
Would you pay $32 for a coffee? What about if it was sprinkled with 23-karat gold?
Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates is known for its luxurious hotels and at one those hotels – the Emirates Palace – you can find a cappuccino priced at a whopping 80 AED ($A32), but most of that price is due to the gold embellishment.
The gold cappuccino was 8/10 but the vibes were 100/10. It tastes rich
So don’t miss it! #Goldcappuccino #abudhabi

It features 82 domes, more than 1,000 columns, 24-carat-gold gilded chandeliers and the world's largest hand-knotted carpet.

Elegant Structures Around Abu Dhabi Zayed In. Airport
#familytrips2024 #vianasjourney #awesomepic
While transiting for few hours in Abu Dhabi, I was managed to find some time to browse around and totally amazed by the luxury of their architecture as well as their airport properties. Apart that the airport itself showed ‘rich’ charisma, the airport properties was really another level of comfort to passengers. Those sofa in waiting lounge are with full cushion, there’s also another type of chair where you could also laying down, and charging port were plenty around the lounge. Another thing that caught my attention was, how easy and conveniant it was that smoking space is just located in the airport itself with transparent cubicle. Definitely love transitting or even visiting here again.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
When I decided to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, it was an amazing and unforgettable experience. As soon as I entered the courtyard of the mosque, I was captivated by its exquisite architectural beauty and luxurious artistic design. The pure white floor reflected the sunlight attractively, and the main fountain arch sparkled under the rays.
The interior was already beautiful, adorned with bright colors and artistic reliefs on the walls and pillars. The signs were also a detail of luxurious gold decorations that added to the overall atmosphere of luxury.
The beauty of the mosque was not limited to its architecture; the gardens surrounding the mosque added the charm of nature. Green trees and open spaces were the perfect backdrop for this magnificent religious landmark.
After the visit, she left the mosque with a heart full of peace and tranquility, and memories of a unique experience that she would never forget.
The stubborn tourist saw the light of Abu Dhabi
🏜️ If Dubai is likened to an entrepreneurial young man, then Abu Dhabi is the low-key Old money💰, occupying a uniquely advantageous geographical position🌏, naturally wealthy, and probably going to continue for another 230 years.💸
🏜️ In the UAE📍, the place I really want to visit is the Sheikh Zayed Mosque🕌 in Abu Dhabi, which is even more stunning in person.🪩
🏜️ However, there is a dress code for entry, and not wanting to wear a black robe, I prepared my outfit in advance. The stubborn tourist did their best, didn't match with anyone else, wasn't signaled⚠️, and passed through smoothly.🔮

Abu Dhabi/Dubai Travel Guide
First, we arrived in Abu Dhabi. It was Ramadan, and we chose to stay at the Edison Hotel. Upon arrival, locals in white robes gathered together, driving luxury vehicles and playing uplifting music🎵. The atmosphere was incredibly exciting! I highly recommend the Edison Hotel in Abu Dhabi for its great value for money and the pleasant scenery around. Unfortunately, due to our tight schedule, we didn't have more time to enjoy the hotel's amenities.
In Abu Dhabi, we booked a mosque visit at sunset. It's important to arrange for a chartered car and attraction reservations in advance, otherwise, it might be impossible to organize at the last minute. The mosque is magnificent and sacred. I bought a robe at the entrance and remember to bargain hard!🕌️
Warner Bros. World and Ferrari World are must-visit places, especially suitable for children. There, you won't feel the sun, tiredness, or rush, and it's a lot of fun. The country gives a comfortable feeling, particularly good for family trips with kids😌.
Next, we went to Dubai and chose to stay at the St. Regis Hotel. The beach requires a drive to get to, and the sky pool and beach do not allow children, which is a bit disappointing. However, the beach pool at the St. Regis is truly beautiful and enchanting, as if transporting you to another dimension, offering a refreshing experience. It also allowed me the freedom to dress in ways I wouldn't dare to try back home.
Booking in advance is necessary for the Burj Khalifa and the Museum of the Future, as it was peak season when we visited, and without a reservation, it would have been impossible to go up. The Museum of the Future felt like being in a movie scene, filled with a sense of the future, as if traveling through time. Although the wait to go up the Burj Khalifa was a bit frustrating, the mood was joyous once up there, and we even caught a spectacular fountain show⛲️ and light display.
Additionally, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is a place I particularly liked. The Presidential Palace, on the other hand, was just okay for me. The exhibits at the Louvre Abu Dhabi are rich and varied, dazzling to the eyes, and each spot is as beautiful as a painting. I also took a very pleasant boat ride.
During our yacht sightseeing, we took a taxi because we were in a hurry, and the driver charged us an exorbitant fare. This was really infuriating, but everything else was great, so be sure to choose your transportation carefully🚗. You can download Uber for convenient and affordable rides, and the cars are quite nice.
We also booked a desert hotel in advance. Since we are a family of four, the hotel had certain requirements for the room type, making the desert hotel the most expensive part of the trip. However, it didn't disappoint me; the kids had a lot of fun, and the desert dinner was great.
I took multiple yacht sightseeing trips in Dubai, and my favorite was watching the sunset from the yacht. The sky at each moment showed different kinds of beauty, eventually turning into an orange sea, intoxicatingly beautiful. All the reservations were arranged by a Chinese lady, who was very friendly. If you need, I can recommend her to you!

In Abu Dhabi, you definitely can't miss the Turkish luxury hotel Rixos in Marina
Yesterday, I checked out of the desert hotel with my parents and continued our vacation, arriving at the Rixos Marina hotel in Abu Dhabi. This is a brand new hotel that has only been open for a year! Rixos is a Turkish luxury hotel brand under the Accor Group. The hotel is located opposite the golden coastline of Abu Dhabi, adjacent to the sparkling sea and soft beaches. The main building of the hotel is also one of the iconic buildings in Abu Dhabi.
The entire hotel integrates the essence of food and hospitality in Arab and Turkish culture. The hotel's philosophy is to create a multifunctional resort. In the bustling city center of Abu Dhabi, you can also enjoy a comfortable vacation hotel. As soon as you enter the hotel, you will feel the strong Turkish style. The super high floor height of the lobby is connected to the transparent corridors on both sides, which is quite impressive. The colorful interior decoration, like a overturned palette, instantly enters a colorful world, wishing to install various colorful colors in the eyes!
This time we stayed in an executive suite on the 23rd floor, with a very spacious activity space and a reasonable layout. The living room, dining room and study are connected in a line, and they are separated from the bedroom and bathroom by a door. Both large functional areas can enjoy the beautiful sea view! We booked three nights at the Rixos Marina hotel in Abu Dhabi. Looking forward to discovering more exciting content in the following days!
Abu Dhabi's most extravagant mosque: Points to note when visiting
The Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi is located on a hilltop in Abu Dhabi. It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest in the world. It was completed in 2007 during the Eid al-Adha festival and is a modern building entirely in Islamic style.
It is also the only mosque in the UAE that is open to the public and is a place of worship in use.
The mosque is clean and bright everywhere. Looking out from the inside, it feels like being in a fairyland. The blue sky can be seen in the distance, and the ground in the distance can be seen, surrounded by white buildings inlaid with gems.
The Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi is a holy place in Islam, and visitors need to respect Islamic traditions.
1. Do not wear overly revealing clothes, ladies need to cover their hair. Ladies must wear long pants and skirts to cover their feet.
2. The mosque is carpeted with Islamic carpets, and you need to enter barefoot. There are stools at the entrance for taking off and putting on shoes, and there are cabinets for storing shoes.
3. No intimate actions are allowed, such as: holding hands, draping shoulders. If you don't want to be yelled at by the administrator to stop intimate actions, it's best to follow their rules.
4. Do not make loud noises, laugh and play, do not point with your fingers, and be quiet and solemn throughout.
Qasr Al Watan Dubai 🇦🇪
#dubaitrip
This attraction turned out to be one of my favorite landmarks in the entire UAE. By staying in Dubai,
I booked it the night before without any expectations just to fill the time on a day trip to Abu Dhabi before my evening tour at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. From being initially just a time-filling, it turned out that this home story tour was one of the highlights of my entire trip to the UAE. This palace is amazing Probably the most beautiful interior design of a building I have ever seen. The place is so attractive that anything the camera directs at will turn into a good image, but at the same time, no camera can do justice in this place. To be seen in person I found the home palace tickets to be of great value as well. On my trip to the UAE,
I had some situations where after a certain tour or attraction I felt it wasn't worth the price and I hate feeling it after the attraction. The home palace was the exact opposite. Tickets were relatively inexpensive at first and after touring a beautiful building that felt it was definitely worth the price.
Dalia was our exceptional guide. I loved it You made our visit so deep and special!!!! She gave us the history, quotes and personal information that she knew we would love based on our background. He doesn't forget
I will do it easily again and highly recommend.
Lost in the beauty of Sheikh Zayed Mosque
#freehotelstay
Lost in the beauty of Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi! Admission was absolutely free. Upon arrival, I scanned the QR code at the entrance, selecting my preferred time slot. Ladies, remember to dress modestly and ensure you're fully covered to respect the mosque's traditions.
Stepping inside, I was instantly transported to a world of sheer magnificence. The interior of Sheikh Zayed Mosque is a testament to architectural brilliance and attention to detail. Every corner adorned with intricate designs. The atmosphere exuded serenity, inviting visitors to reflect and find solace.
As I gazed upward, mesmerizing chandeliers sparkled overhead, illuminating the vast prayer hall with a soft, golden glow. The delicate interplay of light and shadow added a mystical touch to the surroundings, creating a truly enchanting ambiance.
Visiting Sheikh Zayed Mosque was a humbling and soul-stirring experience. It's a testament to the vision and legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates. This architectural masterpiece stands tall, representing unity, tolerance, and the rich cultural heritage of the UAE.

Louvre Abu Dhabi - A cultural collaboration
#schoolholidays
Immersed in the spellbinding Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi, a testament to the captivating partnership between France and the UAE. As I wander through the halls, I'm reminded of the unique agreement that grants the UAE the honor of bearing the Louvre's prestigious name until 2037. It's a fusion of cultures, where Arabian allure meets French heritage, celebrating art's boundless power to connect nations. Here, history and innovation intertwine, as I witness the magic of a shared artistic legacy.
While visiting this popular spot, a photo op that allures many, it's worth noting that long queues are common, especially when tour groups are present. However, rather than waiting in line, I embarked on exploring the exhibition first. Upon my return, to my delight, there was no longer a queue. This allowed me to savor the moment without rushing or succumbing to anxiety, while others patiently awaited their turn to capture photos at the coveted spot!

The Oldest Building in Abu Dhabi
My visit to Qasr Al Hosn was a journey into the heart of Abu Dhabi's history and culture. The historic fort, with its imposing walls and centuries-old architecture, stood as a silent witness to the city's evolution.
The restored rooms and exhibits eloquently narrated the story of Abu Dhabi, from a simple fishing village to the modern metropolis it is today.
The attention to detail in preserving the fort's authenticity was commendable. The traditional artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays offered a comprehensive understanding of the Emirati way of life.
The highlight was walking up the watchtower, where panoramic views of Abu Dhabi unfolded. It provided a unique perspective.

The Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi
My personal experience inside the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi was inspiring. From the moment I stepped inside, I was in an atmosphere of beauty, serenity, and spirituality.
The prayer hall, with its enormous central dome, was a masterpiece of design and architecture. The intricate mosaics that adorned the walls told stories from Islamic history. The use of natural light, filtered through the windows and reflected off marble surfaces, created a sense of divine illumination.
The attention to detail in the design was remarkable. The richly patterned carpets, the towering columns, and the enormous chandeliers all contributed to the mosque's grandeur. The space felt both vast and intimate.

Abu Dhabi Mangroves 😍

Exploring the Abu Dhabi Mangroves is an unforgettable natural adventure. Located along the city's coastline, these thriving mangrove forests are a stark contrast to the urban landscape of Abu Dhabi.
Kayaking through the tranquil waterways, I marveled at the unique ecosystem that exists here. The intertwined roots of the mangroves provide a safe haven for an array of wildlife, from vibrant fish to the occasional sighting of a graceful heron or flamingo. The calm waters make kayaking accessible for all skill levels, and the experience is both peaceful and invigorating.
The lush greenery of the mangroves offers a serene escape from the bustling city, making it a perfect retreat for nature enthusiasts and photographers. As the sun sets, the mangroves take on a magical aura, casting enchanting reflections on the water's surface.
Whether you're seeking a tranquil getaway or an opportunity to connect with nature, the Abu Dhabi Mangroves offer an immersive experience that's both educational and rejuvenating. #abudhabi #uae
