We were picked up from the hotel on time and from there we went straight to the mosque. Since we were there very early, it was still pleasantly empty. As a woman, the tour guide Imran gave you an abaya to enter the mosque. We were there about one hour to one and a half. The Presidential Palace afterwards was no less worth seeing. Finally, we went to the 73rd floor of the Etihad Towers. Overall, we can only recommend the tour.

This tour was really great and eventful. Since we were late, we had a cheap lunch in the Marina Mall. All 3 sights are unique.
