We’ll explore Abu Dhabi by bike from the Corniche to Qasr Al Hosn, passing royal palaces, modern mosques, and the city’s most iconic landmarks. The best way to discover the city with views of the Gulf!
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we’ll begin pedaling gently from Corniche Beach, the city’s great coastal promenade, where we’ll admire the Persian Gulf in all its splendor. Let’s set off!
On this 23 kilometers (14.3 miles) route, we’ll ride past the public and family beaches of the Corniche while observing the architectural contrasts that define Abu Dhabi. Did you know that the first ADNOC building symbolizes the beginning of the emirate’s oil era? We’ll see it right in front of us!
We’ll continue toward the Fatima Bint Mosque, a modern architectural gem that breaks with traditional Islamic art patterns. Further along, the gardens of Heritage Park will offer a short break before we take in the Abu Dhabi Theatre and views of the old and new Royal Palace.
A few meters ahead, we’ll stop at The Founder’s Memorial, a symbolic space dedicated to Sheikh Zayed. How did he manage to unite the desert tribes and lay the foundations of one of the most prosperous countries in the world? We’ll find out! Pedaling along, we’ll reach the Mandarin Oriental, a former palace converted into a hotel.
Next, we’ll ride along the Crown Prince Court before heading into the historic heart of the city. There, we’ll find the Cultural Foundation and Qasr Al Hosn, Abu Dhabi’s first castle.
Finally, we’ll return to the starting point, where we’ll say our goodbyes after between 3.5 and 4 hours of tour.
Shall We Keep Pedaling?
For those who want more, we can extend the tour by 1 hour, adding approximately 13 kilometers (8.1 miles) to the route. After the first mosque, we’ll continue toward Mansion, Avenue, and Hudayriyat Island, crossing iconic bridges and passing modern spaces such as Surf Abu Dhabi and the velodrome. Who said a city born in the desert couldn’t keep reinventing itself? We’ll experience it here, pedal by pedal!
