Dubai & Abu Dhabi 2024 - Part 10

Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque
 
Monday - May 13th 2024
 
Our last day in the United Arab Emirates started with breakfast and after we packed our belongings, we checked out from this lovely hotel. Today we had to drive back to Dubai, but first we wanted to see the Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dahbi. The drive took about half an hour and shortly after the mosque opened we arrived. We booked the tickets in advance and soon we were allowed inside that amazing building. It took us about an hour to walk through the beautiful mosque. Afterwards we got an iced coffee Starbucks before hitting the road and driving back to Dubai.

Back in Dubai we drove directly to our hotel. Since we had to leave in the early morning to catch our flight, we chose the Edge Creekside Hotel near the Dubai Creek, which was also only just a couple of minutes from the airport. Our room was already ready and so we could unload our stuff before heading to Dubai's Hard Rock Cafe for lunch, where we shared loaded nachos. In the afternoon we spent some time at Al Seef, a recreated Soukh. There was even a Starbucks that was built to look like it was really old. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot to do except for browsing through the small shops and since it was really warm, we decided to drive back to the hotel.

In the evening we headed to Dubai Mall to watch the fountain show and to get something for dinner. First we just strolled through the mall and checked ot the shops before stopping at Salt to eat the delicious Impossible Burgers one last time. From the restaurant we had an amazing view at Burj Khalifa and were even able to see parts of the fountain and light show while enjoying our burgers. Later we took a walk along the artificial lake to see the whole fountain show before saying our goodbyes to this amazing city. Then we drove back to the hotel and packed our cases for our jouney back home.
