Cool place and lots of room to roam around. Especially beautiful when the sunlight hits in!
The sea at the entrance to the Louvre is a Tiffany blue. It wasn't crowded, much less crowded than other domestic attractions, and the experience was wonderful. There was an African exhibition during my visit, and there were quite a lot of things.
The Presidential Palace itself is so luxurious. The sunset upon exiting was breathtaking, with the blues constantly wafting in the wind. Watching the night light show made life feel worthwhile.

Must-See Highlights: More Than Just Luxury
1. Golden Quote Sculpture: The most impressive feature of the palace is the golden sculpture, carved with Arabic script. It cites a famous quote from Sheikh Zayed, the founding father of the UAE: "Wealth is not money or oil; wealth lies in the people. Nothing is worthwhile if it is not dedicated to serving the people." This quote perfectly captures the philosophy behind the UAE's prosperity.
2. Parliament Hall: The Parliament Hall, adorned with 350,000 pieces of gold leaf, is breathtaking. This is where the UAE's top leaders meet, allowing visitors to experience the solemn atmosphere of national governance up close.
3. "Golden Bird's Nest": This must-photograph and Instagram-worthy spot, resembling a bird's nest, symbolizes the UAE's vibrant vitality.
4. Hall of Knowledge: This hall showcases the Arab world's contributions to science, literature, astronomy, and other fields, allowing us to appreciate the tremendous impact of Arab civilization on human knowledge.
I learned about Arab culture and felt the atmosphere. As a Chinese, I gained a deeper understanding of the strengths of my own country's culture.

Ferrari World is probably the best thing about Abu Dhabi. Catch a bus from the city, get there earlier as sometimes they might close earlier than scheduled. Take your pics and start adrenaline journey. The rides are amazing. The Mission Ferrari is a cool surprise, as it has unexpected turns and jumps. The Rosa was closed, but it didn't spoil the experience. Even if you are scared of speed and heights, my advice is: Just Do It! Here is my suggestion on how to ease into it (without Rosa): Rosa Junior, Turbo TrackFlying AcesMission FerrariGT challange. You will enjoy it. Do one park at a time on Yas Island because Qs are long. Don't fear, just enjoy the rides!!!!!
Ferrari World is a lot of fun.
Enjoyment: Surprisingly, there are quite a few attractions for children under 110cm tall.
The park also has a small playground where children can climb freely, which keeps them entertained for hours.
Temperature: Although the park is located on the second floor of Yas Mall, the space is naturally light-filled, so it's quite warm inside. Even wearing summer clothes won't be a problem; you won't feel cold.
It's much warmer than Warner Bros. and SeaWorld, haha.
Convenience: There's a direct shuttle bus from Yas Island to Ferrari World.
Dubai also has a direct shuttle bus to Ferrari World, both of which are super convenient.
Note: You can bring food and water into the park. This is very user-friendly.
However, I'm not sure what their criteria are; each park on Yas Island has different rules. If you find something that's not allowed, you can either throw it away or check it in.
I tried bread, snacks, and plastic bottles of water, and they were all allowed.

Probably more fun than I expected. The crowds are lower in the morning and on weekdays. We almost didn't have time to ride everything because there is a lot to do. The performances are not Disney level, but they are interesting. You can see the design and technology here, it's pretty impressive. They just need a bigger coaster, but it's decent for families.
One of the three Warner Bros. theme parks in the world.
Enjoyment: There are quite a few attractions suitable for children under 110cm tall.
You can ride the roller coaster, but the park itself is quite small. You won't be able to stay there for very long. It feels like the smallest of the parks on Yas Island.
The Batman and Joker areas are dark and scary, and there are height requirements, making them more suitable for adults. Children might find them scary.
Temperature: The coldest of the parks on Yas Island. Be sure to bring a jacket and a heat pack; it can get really cold after a long stay.
Convenience: There are direct shuttle buses from Yas Island to the parks. Dubai also has direct shuttle buses to the parks, which are both very convenient.
Note: You can bring food and water into the parks. This is very user-friendly.
However, I'm not sure what their criteria are; each park on Yas Island has different standards. If you find something that isn't allowed, you can either throw it away or check it in.

This place is absolutely photogenic! 📸
✅ Check-in Guide: Go down to the basement level and turn left to find the Food Court. Replenish your energy with food and drinks after shopping! After eating, walk straight to the self-service machine and scan the QR code with your phone for registration. It's completely free! You also need to scan this code to enter, so don't lose it!
⚠️ Important Notes: The Grand Mosque is solemn and majestic, perfect for taking photos.
Whether you're a couple or a pair, absolutely no physical contact is allowed when taking photos.
This is out of respect for religious beliefs 🙏 Individual photos should also be taken without making gestures or pointing at others/buildings. Quietly taking photos is already breathtaking!
You can experience the authentic Grand Mosque atmosphere here.
Wear a long skirt/trousers, and every shot will be a masterpiece of atmospheric beauty. Go for it!
Note:
Men's attire: Short-sleeved shirts and long pants; no abaya or veil required.
Women's attire: Abaya or veil is required. Sleeves cannot be even slightly see-through. If they are even slightly see-through, you will not be allowed in. Sun protection sleeves are required. Overall, adult women are very strict.
Children's attire: Children are not required to wear short-sleeved shirts, shorts, or skirts.
Reservations: Book a time in advance on the official website. The regulations are quite relaxed, so missing your reservation is not a problem at all.
We went during National Day in October, and it was incredibly hot at night, let alone during the day.
Still, it was worth it to check in. As expected of the world's third largest mosque, the interior is magnificent and photogenic.
The downside is the heat. 🥵
PS: The mosque is connected to an underground food court, so you can enjoy some local delicacies after checking in.

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.
