Discover - Halal friendly holidays in Abu Dhabi
With 200 islands Abu Dhabi is a haven to be explored, whether it is fun on the beach, thrill or quiet reflection you're looking for. With Islam the main religion, it is an ideal destination for your halal friendly holiday, but also welcomes an eclectic range of travellers from far and wide. Warner Bros World is the newest edition to Yas Island experiences, where the exciting rides and your favourite characters come to life for the whole family. If you’re a solo Muslim traveller, then there is plenty of cultural adventures awaiting you too. The recently opened Louvre Abu Dhabi is a collaboration with the Louvre museum in Paris, the largest in the world. Experience universal art and history in the most recent impressive institutional collaboration.
Abu Dhabi is home to over two thousand mosques, the most in the UAE and the largest mosque in the country. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was constructed by over 3,000 workers between 1996 and 2007. Covering approximately 30 acres, its vast exterior is a prelude to the beautiful architecture you will witness within. The mosque includes 96 great marble pillars in its main prayer hall alone. The building itself is made up of a combination of crystal, gold, marble and stone. So sublime, it has up to 41,000 visitors at the time of Eid and is also one of the only two mosques open to non-Muslims tourists, as long as modest clothing rules are abided.
