DO NOT MISS THIS. we have been three times now ands still staggering to see. We did a day trip from Dubai especially to see this mosque, and we were not disappointed. It is stunning. Beautiful white marble (with inlaid floral design), the largest carpet in the world, stunning chandeliers, beautiful water pools, 82 domes, exquisite design and yet peaceful & worthy of prayer. It is definitely the highlight of my trip to the UAE.

Qasr Al Watson is grandiose and a must when visiting Abu Dhabi. I don’t think I have ever seen such a majestic, luxurious, enchanting and stunning palace in my entire life!!! It is decorated with impeccable taste and rich in history. The marble covering the entire palace is superb. I will revisit again!!

This is a very family friendly event, great for young children. The highlight of the trip was our tour guide who was passionate, witty, easy going and fun loving. Whilst I loved the visit, here are my suggestions: - have two types of tours - family (targeted to those with children under 10) and adults. - have more information about the farming. I was so eager to see and learn about the chicken farm, but due to the risk of infection we weren’t allowed to go near the hens. A live streamed video in the waiting area with the key facts would have been a great idea. - get rid of the plastic! For an organic farm, to receive my dine in juice in a plastic disposable cup and straw was a bit out of character to the message they were conveying. - add more animal interactions. I loved the goats at the entrance. They are the most well loved, friendly and fed goats in the region! But some more animals around would have been a hit. I.e ducks, a camel, a cow, a few unquarantined chickens, horse and donkey. - to expand the tour, show the composting process, the planting process etc. have a longer tour where you can harvest more (pay for what you pick) and plant the new crops. Total time spent - 2 hours.

While we stayed at the St Regis on the Corniche we decided to go for a walk as the weather is beautiful this time of the year. The Corniche is basically the waterfront of Abu Dhabi, it has a long stretch on the waterfront, beautifully landscaped with walk ways and bicycle lanes. A few cafes as on the walk which is so beautiful and relaxing. You can even rent scooters and return them to various pick up locations. Definitely try it out.
