Next, visit the Dates Market, where shops sell enormous quantities of fresh dates and other sweet treats. Admire the pyramids of the fresh, juicy palm fruits, and sample some of the tasty treasures as your guide explains why they hold a special place in Abu Dhabi’s heritage.
Pass futuristic buildings and the gardens and beaches of the beautiful Corniche on route to the Heritage Village, an open-air museum that recreates a typical Emirati desert village of old. Peep inside the goat-hair Bedouin tents and reconstructed huts to discover what life was like here before oil.
