How should I dress for the Grand Mosque?
One of the most important aspects of preparing for an Abu Dhabi City Tour is understanding the respectful dress code required for the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. As a premier Tourism Company in Dubai, we provide our guests with detailed guidance to ensure they are not turned away at the entrance. Both men and women are required to wear loose-fitting, non-transparent clothing that covers the arms and legs. Women must also cover their heads with a scarf while inside the mosque premises to honor local traditions and religious protocols.
While the "No Rules" vibe of Dubai's beaches is famous, Abu Dhabi’s religious sites require a more conservative approach. If you are unprepared, our tour guides can often assist with traditional abayas for women to ensure a smooth entry. Men should avoid sleeveless shirts and shorts above the knee. By following these simple guidelines, you can fully immerse yourself in the spiritual beauty of the mosque without any logistical hiccups. Our team is always available to pre-vet your outfit choices before the tour begins.
Beyond the mosque, the dress code for the rest of the Abu Dhabi City Tour is generally smart-casual. However, comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended as you will be exploring various palaces, museums, and waterfronts. In the heat of 2026, light, breathable fabrics are your best friend. By planning your wardrobe in advance according to our expert advice, you can focus on the incredible sights and sounds of the capital while remaining comfortable and respectful throughout the day.
