Just before lunch at a typical local restaurant, you will admire the Palace of the Sheikh, which was, of course, once home of Sheikh Zayed, the founder of the country. Your last stop in Abu Dhabi will be Union Square, also known as the “Cannon Square”, the imposing central square of the city.

After lunch in a 5* hotel, you will head to the Abu Dhabi Louvre museum. A joint venture between the UAE and France, the Louvre has become an instant must-see site in Abu Dhabi. The first of its kind in the region, the Louvre represents the contemporary value of the Arab world. It combines the UAE's vision of cultural progression together with France's rich expertise in the world of arts and museums. It possesses artifacts from the begging of mankind to the present day. Not only is it interesting from a cultural standpoint, but the Louvre is also an architectural masterpiece. Designed by the notorious French architect Jean Nouvel, inspiration was drawn from traditional Arabic architectural culture. In total, 55 individual buildings, including 23 galleries, make up this museum city. The façades of the buildings are made up of 3,900 panels of ultra-high performance fiber concrete (UHPC).
