for a week of music-making in the first exchange between all three schools.
You can follow their updates via the @CranMusic twitter account.
On their first full day the group were given a special guided tour of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and learnt about local food, coffee and traditional dress that pupils could try on.
They then had a picnic on the beach!
Mr Futcher is tweeting events as they happen on the @CranMusic twitter account, and is also uploading the best photos to our SmugMug account for you to download as a memento of the trip.
A great day 1 on the #AbuDhabiTour. Back with hosts this evening before music fun with @cranleighad pupils tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/ksp72TiGjX
