Louvre Abu Dhabi is described as the first universal museum in the Arab world. It brings together art and artefacts from civilisations across centuries, tracing connections between cultures from antiquity to the present day.

The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi takes visitors through 13.8 billion years of history – from the formation of the universe to the story of life on Earth, with a particular focus on the Arabian Peninsula.

Zayed National Museum chronicles the story of the land and its people, from the earliest human settlements on the Arabian Peninsula through to the founding of the UAE and the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the country’s founding father.

The pass is positioned at residents and visitors who wish to explore more than one museum in a single visit or across several weeks. “For residents and visitors looking to explore more than one museum in a single visit or across several weeks, the pass offers both the flexibility and the value to make that easy,” organisers said.

The Museum Pass is available now here.
