  If you are in the heart of Downtown Abu Dhabi, you can easily reach the Dhow Monument by walking. Start at the Abu Dhabi Mall, which is a central landmark. Exit the mall and head towards the Corniche. Walk along the Corniche promenade towards the Marina area. The Dhow Monument is located along the Corniche Bike Track, so keep walking until you see the water on your right side. The monument should be visible from the promenade, and it will take approximately 15-20 minutes to walk there.

You need to catch a bus heading towards the Marina area. The ride will take around 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Once you get off, look for signs directing you to the Corniche. From the bus stop, it should take you about 5-10 minutes to walk to the Dhow Monument along the Corniche.

• Bike Rental

  If you enjoy cycling, consider renting a bike. There are several bike rental stations along the Corniche where you can rent a bike for a small fee. Once you have your bike, start cycling along the Corniche towards the Marina. You will find the Dhow Monument along the Corniche Bike Track. The ride should take about 10 minutes, and it’s a great way to explore the area while enjoying the scenic views.
