Abu Dhabi Day Trip Add-Ons: Louvre Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan, the Etihad Towers Deck and Yas Island

On an Abu Dhabi day trip, every extra sight is either a ticket in the price or a stop outside for photos, and the cheap options are mostly photo stops. If Qasr Al Watan and the Etihad Towers deck are what you want, book a day that includes their tickets on every option: OceanAir Travels’ Dubai: Abu Dhabi Day Trip with Grand Mosque, Royal Palace & Lunch, from US$85 on promotion, usually US$113 a person (checked November 2026) without lunch, includes the mosque, the palace and the deck, and stops outside the Louvre Abu Dhabi. For the museum inside, or a day at Ferrari World, the cards below are the tours that include them.

It cost US$85 a person without lunch on 27 November 2026 and US$99 on 20 January 2027; the options with lunch cost US$104 and US$120 (checked November 2026). Free cancellation until 24 hours before.

Ticket or photo stop, tour by tour

From each tour’s inclusions and itinerary on GetYourGuide (checked November 2026). All of them visit the mosque, and all but 360 Adventures Tourism LLC’s Louvre day name the mosque ticket among their inclusions. OceanAir’s Heritage Village day and 360 Adventures Tourism LLC’s palace day come with a driver rather than a guide.

Qasr Al Watan

The presidential palace is a working one, and it closes for state business. On the OceanAir days that include it, the palace may close without notice during presidential events, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi then takes its place; a reviewer of the main tour on 22 October 2026 found it “closed due to government meetings” and went to the Louvre. Guided tours are not permitted inside, so you walk the halls on your own.

The palace’s own November 2026 calendar showed 10 AM to 5 PM every day, last entry at closing time. Its ticket covers the palace zones (the Great Hall, Presidential Gifts and the Qasr Al Watan Library among them) and the evening Palace in Motion show; it is for one entry only, and knees and shoulders must be covered. The price sits behind the palace’s booking page, so we print none.

The Etihad Towers deck

The Observation Deck at 300 is on the 74th floor of the Etihad Towers. On OceanAir’s premium options and its palace-and-deck day the admission is included and the guide goes up with you; the palace-and-deck day gives it an hour. If the towers close, the Founder’s Memorial replaces them on the main tour. We did not read a ticket price for the deck on its own.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi

On most tours the museum is a photo stop outside: 15 minutes on the palace-and-deck day. A French reviewer of the main tour in October 2026 found those 15 minutes in front of it not worth having. To go in, book OceanAir's mosque-and-Louvre day, which includes the ticket and two hours inside on your own, with no guided tour in the museum, in a small group of up to 15; or 360 Adventures Tourism LLC's day, which includes the ticket and a small group of up to 10.

The museum’s own ticket page gives AED 70 for an adult, free under 18 (checked November 2026). Its opening days differ between its own pages, Mondays especially, so check the museum’s site for the day you go.

Yas Island and Ferrari World

Travtur Tourism L.L.C's day is the one here built around Ferrari World. It visits the mosque for 45 minutes, stops at Emirates Palace, outside the Etihad Towers and at the Yas Marina Circuit, then leaves you four hours in the park, with the ticket included and a Formula Rossa ride slot booked in advance. It is 10 hours in all, in a group of up to 15. Men should bring long trousers for the mosque and can change afterwards; women are given suitable clothes.

Bought direct, Ferrari World’s single-day ticket cost AED 345 online on the park’s own page, and the park was open 10 AM to 7 PM on 10 November 2026.

Which add-on day

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.

If none of the add-ons matters to you, the main tour’s cheapest option keeps the mosque and drops the rest: what each option costs.
