Ramadan Cultural Journeys

Curated Ramadan cultural bus journeys across the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, featuring Emirati Iftar at iconic historic sites, all led by Emirati cultural experts. The journeys offer immersive storytelling rooted in the history of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, visits to historic forts and palaces, UNESCO-listed sites and practices, and comfortable transport—celebrating the depth and richness of Emirati traditions during this special month.

The Abu Dhabi City journeys are shaped by the sea breeze and the relentless waves of The Coast, while the Al Ain journeys are rooted in the resilient spirit and lush heart of The Oasis.
