Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer different combinations of skyline, cultural institutions, religious architecture and coast. Monumental buildings reward a closer look at material, light and interior space. The trip becomes more interesting when each city has a clear purpose in the itinerary.
Group visits within each city and allow a proper intercity transfer. Book major interiors or viewpoints around their current entry requirements and the conditions you prefer.
