What an Abu Dhabi Day Trip from Dubai Costs

An Abu Dhabi day trip from Dubai costs from US$55 on promotion, usually US$65 a person on OceanAir Travels’ From Dubai: Abu Dhabi Premium Full-Day Sightseeing Tour (checked November 2026). That is the small-group option with mosque entry: hotel pickup, a guide, the mosque ticket and a guided visit inside, and photo stops at the Corniche, Emirates Palace and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. The same tour with tickets for Qasr Al Watan and the Etihad Towers deck cost US$88 on the November and December dates we read and US$99 in January and March. Lunch is extra on both.

Free cancellation until 24 hours before; the calendar shows the price for the date you pick.

The main tour, date by date

We read OceanAir’s option picker for six dates. Prices for one adult:

GetYourGuide option picker, checked November 2026. The private option is priced for the group, not per person; with lunch at Al Khayma Heritage it cost US$465.60 on the November and December dates, US$582 on 22 December and in January and March.

Up to 21 December 2026 every option carried a promotion: 15% off the mosque option and 20% off the premium ones. From 22 December the prices go up, and on the January and March dates there was no promotion; the mosque option was back at US$55 without one.

The mosque option lasts 9 hours and the all-attractions option 10. Start times on the late-November and mid-December dates were 9:30 AM; on 21 and 22 December and in January and March, 8:45 or 11:30 AM.

Two people

For two adults on 27 November the calendar showed US$110 for the mosque option, US$176 for the premium small group and US$198 for the Mercedes. The private option was US$396.80 for the two together, the same total as for one, so it comes to US$198.40 each.

The other days from Dubai

GetYourGuide, checked November 2026. One adult unless the row says otherwise.

So on the main tour the palace and the deck added US$33 a person to the mosque option on the November and December dates, US$44 in January and March, and US$80.70 on 22 December. The palace-and-deck day cost US$30 more than the mosque option on 27 November and US$44 more on 20 January. The half-day mosque tour cost US$48.93 on 27 November and US$56 on 20 January, close to the full day’s mosque option, for half the day and without the city.

Prices, ratings and review counts from the listings (GetYourGuide checked November 2026). Operators price by date and season, so treat the figures as the shape of the market, not a quote.

What you pay on top

• Lunch. Not in the price of the main tour or the mosque-and-Louvre day; on the palace-and-deck day only on the options with lunch.
• Tips. Not included anywhere.
• The mosque. Included on every tour on this page. On your own it is AED 10 for a visitor from outside the UAE (the mosque’s FAQ, checked November 2026).

On your own, the other sights charge their own fees. Adult entry to the museum on Saadiyat Island is AED 70, and under-18s go free (its ticket page, checked November 2026). Ferrari World’s own ticket page sold a single-day ticket online for AED 345 (checked 10 November 2026). Qasr Al Watan sells dated tickets on its own site; its ticket page lists what the ticket includes but not the price, so we print none.

The add-ons guide goes through which tours include which of these, and the Grand Mosque’s fee and hours has the mosque’s full fee table.
