The price is quite cheap. There are so many cultural relics inside that it is dazzling. The explanations are not very complete and some are too simple. The buildings are also quite distinctive and it is okay to take pictures
Ctrip's instant ticket issuance is impeccable, and the price is the best. The Louvre Museum is very convenient to access, and the surrounding buildings are unique. Any photo you take will give you a sense of blockbuster movies. The collections in the museum are still involuntarily attracted by the Chinese collections🤩

It can be simply described in one word: luxurious. Blingbling. Tickets can be purchased and used at any time, very convenient, just scan the QR code.
No reservation is required, you can enter by buying a ticket. There is no dress code. If you want to see the light show, you need to go in before closing time and walk around until the light show starts. It is recommended to enter around 5 or 6 o'clock so that you can see both daytime and nighttime views. The business hours are different every day, you can check the official website. It is really magnificent here, full of local tyrants, and it is worth a visit!

It’s fun to play a day. There are several roller coasters. The fastest and most exciting ace pilot roller coaster is too scary. It’s fun to print photos. It’s a bit expensive. The restaurant inside is also expensive, but it’s fun. If you like to play roller coaster, you can play for a day.
The whole indoor amusement park is very reasonable, there are few people, no need to buy fast, unlike Universal and Disney, the net is useless, let you go to death, just to expand the area of the park, a lot of people, sell more tickets.

This ticket is really worth it, the price is much cheaper than buying it on site!!! In particular, the Endless Ocean is definitely worth seeing, a very shocking visual experience, and one park can be purchased for a short period of time.
A purely indoor large oceanarium, fully air-conditioned, where you can experience all four seasons, you have to sigh at the wealth of the UAE.
There are 360-degree panoramic stands, a large aquarium, a penguin house, walruses, sea lions, seals, dolphin performances, flamingos, etc. in the aquarium, which is very interesting.
The manta roller coaster is quite fun.

The roller coaster is super exciting, the feet are really soft, too small friends are not suitable for playing too much, Warner is more suitable for children to play, all indoors, summer is also very comfortable, compared to the domestic amusement park queue time is not long, this is very good
The place is not very big, some children, there are no too exciting projects, there are four or five 4D dynamic film projects, of which the picture quality of Green Lantern and Batman is very general. 2~3 hours can be brushed. Overall, the grade is similar to Fangte. You cannot bring your own drinks and food, check your backpack at the entrance.

This was an extremely pretty Islamic mosque especially during sunset. It was very big and has a lot of parking spaces.
The moment I stepped into the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, I was enveloped by a solemn atmosphere, as if time had stopped at this moment, and my heart had calmed down. This magnificent building is not only a religious holy place, but also a crystallization of art and culture. Every detail exudes a unique charm that is breathtaking.
The appearance of the Grand Mosque is unique. The snow-white marble building shines brightly under the sun. The 82 domes of different sizes are scattered in an orderly manner, like a white ocean with ripples. The four towering minarets pierce the sky, as if they are messengers to heaven, calling on the hearts of believers. Walking into the interior of the mosque, I was shocked by its luxury and exquisiteness. The walls are inlaid with exquisite patterns, composed of various precious gems and shells, and they sparkle with colorful light under the light. The gilded decorations on the columns reflect dazzling golden light under the penetration of the sun, adding a sacred and solemn atmosphere to the entire space.
In addition to the shock of the building itself, the cultural connotations contained in the Grand Mosque also deeply touched me. Here, I felt the profoundness of Islamic culture and its advocacy of peace, tolerance and respect. The staff in the mosque are warm and friendly. They patiently explain the history, culture and religious rituals of the mosque to tourists, which gave me a deeper understanding and knowledge of Islam. In this multicultural world, the Grand Mosque is like a bridge, connecting people of different beliefs and cultures, and promoting communication and understanding between each other.
Visiting the Grand Mosque is also a journey of dialogue with one's own heart. In this quiet and sacred land, I put aside the hustle and bustle of the world and calmed down to think about the meaning and value of life. Standing in the spacious courtyard, looking at the magnificent buildings around, breathing the fresh air, my heart is full of awe for nature and human creativity.
If you have the opportunity to come to Abu Dhabi, don't miss this magnificent mosque. I believe it will also bring you a double feast of mind and vision.

nice park, clean area, clean pools. a must visit destination for fun and thrills. the staff are friendly, we spent an exhilarating day and well recommended
The perfect experience is simply great, far higher than expected, that is, the process at the beginning is a bit confusing, it takes some time, you can swim the water world for the second time, the dressing room pays attention to family parents and privacy, which is very good! We usually go there, and there are many fewer people than the domestic scale, but there are many people than other parks on Yas Island. It closes at 9 pm that night, and the fastpass is still a bit of a role, especially some large-scale stimulating water projects and ceiling roller coasters. After 8 pm, there is basically no need to queue.

This place is a place you will regret if you don't go there. The scenery is nice, but the main drawback is that the glass around it is very dirty, and everything you see is black.
Other high-altitude observation towers usually introduce you to what buildings are underneath and when they were built. This one has no introduction, so you just stare at it. The Middle East Building is not much different.
It seems that you can buy coffee at certain times. I went there in the morning, but there was nothing there. I walked around and left in disappointment.
This is the filming location of the movie "Fast and Furious", with five towering buildings. This year, the 53rd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was decorated with colorful lights along the 10-kilometer corniche promenade.
This is a place to celebrate Western festivals, and Christmas trees are everywhere in December.
There is a famous observation deck on the 74th floor, which overlooks the entire city of Abu Dhabi. It is a tourist attraction that families and friends visit.

Opposite the hotel is the Emirates Palace. I thought it would be better to have a meal than afternoon tea, so I ordered a buffet lunch. The buffet at 650 yuan per person really didn't have much to eat. The seafood was few and average, not worth the price. Even coffee had to be paid separately. Afternoon tea was in the lobby, and the snacks looked good? The waiters along the way were very polite, answering every question, and there was a guard every three steps. To be honest, you would really get lost without someone to guide you.
What a Fantanstic Place! The kids enjoy the sea and food is superb. The staff are very friendly and service is 5 🌟.

It is a niche attraction with few tourists. The scenic area is not large. It is an early palace that shows the history of Abu Dhabi, as well as the king's bedroom and reception room at that time. The design of the house is well ventilated and naturally cool.
This palace is our first attraction in Abu Dhabi. It is a pure white building and a relatively niche attraction. There is not much to see. It is an old palace with a very Arabic interior and an observation deck. Most buildings do not have air conditioning, so it is a bit hot, but it is still very distinctive.
The ticket includes the art center next to it. There happened to be an exhibition related to China that opened in the afternoon. Because it was not well arranged, I just walked around.
