Discover Abu Dhabi in a different way with a speedboat tour. In an activity that lasts about an hour and a half and for groups of about 20 people, a professional guide will give commentary on board to explain the points of interest you will pass by. For example, you will see the Etihad Towers or the Qasr al Watan Palace from this speedboat.

Before the city was named Abu Dhabi, it was known as Milh, or salt in Arabic, because of the salty water in the area you'll be travelling through. It's also famous for pearl diving and pearl collecting. But now, this city has become one of the most modern in the Persian Gulf and even in the world, with its impressive skyscrapers, along with Dubai.
Throughout this tour, where you will be given bottled water, you will pass by different attractions , for example:
- Etihad Towers: this is a luxury complex that includes three residential towers, a business tower and the 280-metre high five-star hotel. It offers some of the best views of the city.
- Qasr al Watan Palace: a striking segment of the capital's Presidential Palace complex, this is where the country's most important government buildings are located.
- Heritage Village: located on Marina Mall Island near the city centre, this traditional oasis village offers a glimpse into Abu Dhabi's past.
