If the Louvre Abu Dhabi is a landmark in Abu Dhabi that you are planning to visit soon, then you will be glad to know that now you can do so with a catamaran cruise. Yes, now you can book an electric catamaran tour, which allows you to take a sail around the museum! As it happens, this service has been made available since Wednesday, December 20.

Operated by Costa Azzurra, the electric catamaran service is certainly something visitors Louvre Abu Dhabi must not miss. Lasting for 30 minutes at the cost of AED350 or for an hour at the cost of AED600, every catamaran can sit up to two people at a time. So, you might want to take this tour with your special one! It should be noted that this tour runs every day between 10 AM to 10 PM, which means visitors are expected to arrive 15 minutes before their slot, according to the information available on the official website.

However, at this point, it’s worth noting that this is not the only water-related experience that is available at the iconic landmark in Abu Dhabi. Perched on the Arabian Gulf, this museum had previously launched guided tours on a kayak! However, unlike the catamaran ride, the kayak tour runs only one trip daily for up to 25 people. Moreover, this service is available from Tuesday to Sunday and it costs AED126 per person. As such, this tour begins at 5:30 PM and lasts for about an hour.
Don’t Forget To Explore The Ongoing Exhibitions

And while you’re here, once you’re done taking the ride, don’t forget to check out the museum’s ongoing exhibition. Yes, this includes Cartier, Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design, which presently features 400 pieces of jewellery, textiles, photographs, and drawings. All of these show the influences of Islamic art on Cartier’s designs. Another exhibition called Letters Of Light is also happening at the museum, which presents holy books of the three Abrahamic religions – the Christian bible, the Hebrew, and the Quran. Not to mention, you also get to explore sacred texts featuring works of skilled calligraphers, artists and bookbinders.
