Reserve your Sunday seat with Friends Guide Travels and enjoy an organised journey from Dubai to the BAPS Hindu Mandir Abu Dhabi.
BAPS Hindu Mandir is a traditional Hindu stone temple located in Abu Dhabi. It represents spirituality, cultural heritage, craftsmanship and peaceful coexistence.
The temple is constructed with intricately carved pink sandstone and white marble. Its exterior contains carefully sculpted stories, spiritual symbols, animals, flowers and teachings connected with Hindu traditions and other ancient cultures.
The seven main spires represent the seven emirates of the UAE. Different shrines inside the mandir are dedicated to revered Hindu deities and spiritual figures.
The campus was designed as a place where worshippers, tourists, families and people from different backgrounds can experience peace and learn about values such as harmony, service, humility and respect.
Visitors do not need to belong to the Hindu faith to enter the mandir. People from different religions, nationalities and cultures are welcome, provided they follow the official registration, security and dress requirements.
The Friends Guide Travels shared-bus package costs AED 49 per person.
This amount covers shared transportation and trip coordination from Dubai. Entry to the BAPS Hindu Mandir itself is free, but every visitor must complete the official registration process before arrival.
The AED 49 package provides an affordable option for people who do not have a private vehicle or do not want to pay for a full private taxi between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The package price applies to one passenger travelling on the scheduled shared bus. Seats are subject to vehicle availability and should be reserved in advance.
Our BAPS Hindu Mandir trip normally operates every Sunday.
Sunday is suitable for families and working residents because many people are available to travel on the weekend. The mandir is open on Sundays, although every visitor must still have an approved registration and valid physical identification.
The trip begins in Dubai during the morning. Passengers board the shared air-conditioned bus from their selected pickup location and travel toward the mandir in Abu Dhabi.
After completing the visit, the group returns to Dubai on the same day. Return time can vary according to the official visitor slot, road traffic, security procedures and the time taken by the group inside the complex.
Passengers should avoid arranging an important appointment immediately after the expected return because road conditions between Abu Dhabi and Dubai can change.
The Sunday shared tour offers pickup from two convenient Dubai locations.
Al Ghubaiba is suitable for passengers staying in Bur Dubai, Al Mankhool, Karama, Meena Bazaar, Al Raffa, Oud Metha and nearby districts.
Passengers should arrive at the confirmed meeting point before the communicated departure time. The vehicle cannot wait for late passengers because the group must reach the mandir according to its registered visitor schedule.
The Deira pickup is arranged near Deira City Centre and the Day To Day area.
This meeting point is suitable for passengers travelling from Deira, Al Rigga, Al Muraqqabat, Hor Al Anz, Abu Hail, Al Qusais and nearby communities.
The exact vehicle location, coordinator contact and pickup time will be shared through WhatsApp before departure.
The usual pickup window is approximately 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM, depending on the selected location.
Al Ghubaiba passengers may be collected earlier, followed by passengers from the Deira City Centre area. The final timing should always be checked on the booking confirmation.
Passengers report to the selected meeting point at the communicated time.
The tour coordinator checks the passenger list and guides travellers toward the correct bus. Passengers should keep their official BAPS registration QR code and physical identification ready before boarding.
The shared bus departs Dubai and travels toward the BAPS Hindu Mandir using the main Dubai–Abu Dhabi highway.
Travel time depends on traffic, road conditions and the order of pickups. Passengers can relax inside the air-conditioned vehicle during the journey.
Upon arrival, all visitors must follow the directions provided by the mandir security team.
Every individual should keep the pre-booked registration QR code and a physical Emirates ID or passport ready. Personal details must match the registration.
A security inspection is conducted before entry. Visitors requiring mobility support should inform the team in advance where possible.
Visitors can walk through the campus, admire the detailed exterior carvings and enter the designated worship and visitor areas.
The group will have time to experience the peaceful environment, see the architecture, offer prayers and learn about the mandir’s message of global harmony.
Visitors should follow the directions of volunteers and security personnel throughout the tour.
Subject to the group schedule, passengers may have time to visit the vegetarian food court or the official merchandise store.
Food, beverages and personal purchases are not included in the Friends Guide Travels package price.
After the visit, passengers return to the bus at the instructed meeting time.
The vehicle travels back to Dubai and drops passengers at the designated Bur Dubai and Deira pickup locations.
Temple entry is free, but individual registration is compulsory.
Booking a seat on the Friends Guide Travels bus does not automatically register the passenger for temple entry.
Every visitor must individually complete the official BAPS Hindu Mandir visit registration before travelling.
Visitors should ensure that:
Passengers should save the QR code on their phone and also keep a screenshot in case mobile internet is weak at the entrance.
The mandir’s visitor hours can change during festivals, major events, security situations or special religious programmes.
Visitors should rely on the final confirmed registration and trip information rather than an old online timetable.
The regular Sunday shared-bus package does not automatically include attendance at any evening ceremony. Participation depends on the confirmed visit and return schedule.

The BAPS Hindu Mandir is recognised for combining traditional temple construction with a message of cultural unity.
The temple campus includes carved stone exteriors, marble interiors, domes, spires, water features, visitor facilities and spaces designed for worship and cultural learning.
The seven spires symbolise the seven emirates of the UAE. Detailed carvings present narratives connected with Hindu scriptures, moral values and stories from different ancient cultures.
The mandir also represents cooperation between communities. It was created through the contribution of artisans, volunteers, engineers and professionals from varied backgrounds.
Visitors interested in the capital’s royal architecture can plan a separate visit to Qasr Al Watan Abu Dhabi, the UAE presidential palace attraction known for its grand halls, exhibitions and cultural displays.
Take time to observe the walls, pillars and spires from different angles.
The carvings contain flowers, animals, deities, spiritual stories and symbols of peace. Visitors can discover new details even after spending considerable time around the temple.
The main worship space provides a calm environment for prayer and reflection.
Visitors should maintain silence, avoid blocking pathways and respect devotees performing religious activities.
The interiors contain carefully designed domes and marble pillars with detailed artistic work.
Look upward to appreciate the geometry, symmetry and spiritual symbolism built into the structure.
Water features around the complex create a peaceful visual atmosphere.
Visitors should remain within authorised areas and avoid entering or touching restricted installations.
Depending on the operating schedule, guests may be able to explore exhibitions or displays explaining how the mandir was imagined, designed and constructed.
Art and architecture lovers can also add Louvre Abu Dhabi tickets to another day and explore international art, history and the museum’s distinctive dome.
The vegetarian food court may provide an opportunity to purchase meals or refreshments after completing the main visit.
The available menu, payment method and operating counters can vary.
Visitors may purchase books, gifts and official merchandise from the campus store. Purchases are optional and are not included in the tour price.
Yes. The BAPS Hindu Mandir tour is suitable for families with children.
The shared transport arrangement avoids the difficulty of driving, parking and coordinating several private vehicles. Children can also learn about architecture, cultural heritage, spirituality and the UAE’s multicultural environment.
Parents must supervise children throughout the trip. Young visitors should not run inside worship areas, climb on structures, touch carvings or disturb other guests.
Families should bring only essential items because food, drinks and several other objects may not be allowed inside the mandir premises.

The tour is suitable for many senior citizens, particularly those who prefer organised shared transportation.
Passengers who require mobility assistance should inform the booking team in advance. A private tour may be more suitable for visitors who need a flexible schedule or additional rest time.
Essential medication should be carried in its original packaging and declared during security screening when required.
Do not carry unnecessary food, water, professional cameras, selfie sticks, tobacco products, sharp objects or prohibited equipment.
The Sunday BAPS shared-bus tour is designed mainly for the temple visit and same-day return. Travellers who have additional days in the UAE can create a broader Abu Dhabi itinerary with family attractions and Yas Island theme parks.
