Visto solo dall'esterno, ma merita anche una visita all'interno (io non avevo abbastanza tempo :( ).

We recently visited Louvre Abu Dhabi, and it was an unforgettable experience!
The museum’s architecture is absolutely stunning, with its unique dome creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow throughout the space. The design feels both modern and timeless, making it a perfect setting for the incredible art it houses.

The collection is world-class, offering an impressive range of artwork from across different cultures and time periods. From ancient artifacts to contemporary pieces, the museum does an amazing job of showcasing the shared history and creativity of humanity. We especially loved how the exhibits are thoughtfully curated, allowing you to explore the connections between various cultures and time periods.

The views over the water from the museum are also breathtaking, adding an extra layer of beauty to the entire experience. It’s a peaceful and inspiring place to spend a few hours, and the atmosphere truly enhances the art on display.

If you’re in Abu Dhabi, Louvre Abu Dhabi is a must-see. It’s an incredible spot to enjoy art, culture, and stunning architecture. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is simply phenomenal—a picture-perfect masterpiece where water and stone seamlessly merge into stunning architecture. It’s a photographer’s dream, offering plenty of beautiful nooks to relax or grab a bite (with a restaurant that thoughtfully caters to dietary allergies). Keep in mind that most of the exhibits are rotating, so check what’s on display, but every piece is curated to perfection. Overall, our visit was a standout highlight of our Emirates trip.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi was recommended to me, and I can confidently say it was the highlight of my visit to Abu Dhabi. The architecture of the building alone made the trip worthwhile; it’s a masterpiece. However, I wouldn’t rank it among the best museums I’ve visited, nor does it come close to the original Louvre in Paris. The idea of “renting” the Louvre name initially struck me as amusing, but I understand its purpose in drawing attention, and it seems to have worked.

The dome is the star of the show: eye-catching, intricate, and absolutely stunning. In fact, I believe the building itself could stand empty and still be an incredible work of art. Wandering through the museum’s rooms, I found myself more captivated by the design and craftsmanship of the space than the exhibits it housed. While there were beautiful paintings and sculptures on display, they didn’t quite hold my interest as much as the building’s material details: the way marble and metal meet, the precise finishes, and the interplay of light through its windows.

That said, the museum feels disconnected from Abu Dhabi and its culture. The contents seemed like a curated collection of remarkable pieces meant to impress rather than tell a cohesive story. It almost felt as if the building came first, and the museum function was added later to give it purpose.

Ticketing was straightforward; I bought mine on the spot without any hassle, but it wasn’t a busy day. Overall, while I’m not sure I’d travel to Abu Dhabi just to visit the Louvre Abu Dhabi, I’m glad I went. If you’re in the city, it’s certainly worth a visit, even if just to admire the architectural brilliance.

ABU DHABI 🇦🇪

Louvre Abu Dhabi

Noi l'abbiamo vista di notte, stupendo. Secondo me però merita tantissimo anche con la luce del giorno. 

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is an architectural masterpiece and truly one of the most breathtaking landmarks in the world. The intricate design, grand scale, and stunning white marble make it a must-visit destination.

The atmosphere is serene and awe-inspiring, offering a glimpse into both cultural and spiritual beauty. An absolute must-see for anyone visiting the region!

Nothing can match the beauty of this place!
We chose to do the two cultural tours
provided by the Mosque, one in the
evening, at sunset and another one
during the day, at noon. One was more beautiful than the other!
The guides of these tours have so much knowledge, so many beautiful stories to tell, all with great kindness and answering all the questions asked by the visitors!
Thanks to Saeed for the evening tour and to Ali for the daytime tour! Each with its own charm, you will remain forever in our memories!

The Grand Mosque is a must see. The architecture and artistry on display is awesome and inspiring. The tickets are free and easy to book online(and adjust your date and time if needed). We went during a slower time so booking wasn't needed but makes your time there easier.

There is a dress code but it is rather easy. Guys wear pants and a shirt(T-shirt send to be fine) at a minimum. Women need to cover down to ankles and wrists and wear a scarf over their hair. They do check and will deny access if you didn't meet the restrictions.

There is a mall along the tunnel to the mosque from the drop off area. At the drop off area go to in the little building and go down. Follow signs. It isn't that hard.

Enjoy the beauty of the architecture and design!

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

Uno degli hotel più lussuosi del mondo. Si può visitare gratuitamente anche all'interno.

We went to Episodes for high tea. It was fantastic. The food is delicious and plentiful. The coffee with gold is unique. The service was incredible. Thanks to Dino and Anna who made our experience so great. It is worth the cost for the high tea.

Emirates Palace offers a truly luxurious experience with its stunning architecture, impeccable service, and top-notch amenities the prices are high, many feel it's worth it for the unforgettable experience. but the overall impression is overwhelmingly positive, making it a top choice for travelers seeking grandeur and indulgence in Abu Dhabi.

Emirates Palace is truly a destination that defines luxury and elegance. From the moment you arrive, the attention to detail is unparalleled. The rooms are incredibly spacious, with stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, and the marble bathrooms are nothing short of spectacular. The service here is top-notch; the staff goes out of their way to ensure every guest feels special. The food is exceptional, especially the variety of international cuisine at the buffet. Walking around the lush gardens and private beach is a peaceful retreat. This hotel offers an experience that you’ll never forget – it’s worth every penny.

Noi purtroppo non avevamo tempo e non siamo entrati all'interno, ma credo che meriti la visita. Anche perchè da fuori non si vede nulla e non si possono nemmeno fare foto nella zona (infatti le mie sono state fatte passando con la macchina).

Stunning and so elegant! The architecture is very unique and I love the meaning behind the palace itself.

If you’re planning on visiting please remember:
- dress culturally appropriate
Women: cover your shoulders and pants    or bottoms should be below the knees
Men: business casual attire, no shorts.

You will be turned around!

- be respectful to staff and the rules
- plan your visit around sunset so you can see the light story show which was very beautiful

Amazing and huge palatial building. A must visit spot of Abu Dhabi. You can spend around 2-3 hours here. Lot of great photo spots and displays inside the palace. The museum showing gifts received by the king was really amazing. There are also meeting rooms and parliament equivalent rooms inside the palace that are worth the visit.

Great architecture and Arabian style. It’s an art to make it simple and clean. The structure is pure essence of light and color without beefing overwhelming.
You can chose to close the visiting day with this attraction and take part at the 15 min light show that starts around 18:30 (depending on moon phase).

Qasr Al Watan

Seen only from the outside, but also worth a visit inside (I didn't have enough time :( ).

Unfortunately, we didn't have time and didn't go inside, but I think it's worth a visit. Especially since you can't see anything from the outside, and you can't even take photos in the area (in fact, mine were taken while driving by).
