FAQ: 5 Day Dubai and Abu Dhabi City Tour with Parks
Five days give you enough time to do both cities properly without rushing. In Dubai, you can cover the big landmarks like Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, the Creek, the Marina, and a desert safari. Abu Dhabi gives a completely different side to the trip, such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the Corniche, and, depending on the package, a day at Ferrari World or Yas Waterworld.
This differs by package, but the most popular options are Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld, and Warner Bros. The IMG Worlds of Adventure and Motiongate Dubai are the most common additions on the Dubai side. When you book, it’s worth ensuring exactly which parks are included.
The drive between Dubai and Abu Dhabi is roughly 140 kilometres and takes around 90 minutes to two hours based on traffic. In our guided tour package, transfers between the two cities are arranged for you. So, you’re not dealing with car hire or navigation. Most of your itineraries are structured so you spend the first few days in Dubai before entering to Abu Dhabi, which creates a logistical sense.
It’s enough if the itinerary is well-structured. You won’t have unlimited time at every single attraction, but you’ll come away having seen the highlights of both cities and having had at least one full theme park day. If parks are a big priority for your group, it’s worth adding when you book the itinerary, and it can be adjusted according to your wishes.
No. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are both part of the UAE. So, a single UAE tourist visa covers your entire trip. You won’t need to apply separately for each city. The visa requirements depend on your nationality, and we handle the visa application process as part of your booking.
It’s one of the better options for families because it combines city sightseeing with theme parks. Most of the children tend to enjoy the parks on Yas Island and the Sheer scale of the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. The desert safari is a highlight for kids. The main thing to consider is the pace. The five days are comfortable for adults, but it’s worth making some slower moments if you’re travelling with younger children.
