Questions about this trip
Is 3 days enough for Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Three days covers the listed sites if you follow a tight schedule. Book Burj Khalifa tickets online ahead and allow about 90 minutes for the drive to Abu Dhabi on day three.
Do I need to book Burj Khalifa tickets in advance?
Yes, reserve timed tickets at least seven days ahead to avoid long lines at the counter. Combine the visit with the Dubai Fountain show at 19:00 for the same evening.
How do I get from Dubai to Abu Dhabi?
Take the E101 bus from Ibn Battuta bus station, about two hours, or a taxi or car on the E11, about 90 minutes. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is open into the evening, except Friday mornings.
Do I need to book the Louvre Abu Dhabi ahead?
Buying tickets online the day before skips the ticket queue. Allow two hours inside, then take a taxi to Qasr Al Watan if time allows.
