An educational and enjoyable introduction to the UAE - Our guide made this a memorable day. The tour was very well organised from start to finish. On the drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi he told us what all we would be seeing and also told us a lot about the history, economy, culture and make up of the government of the UAE. He also explained much about the religion of Islam, giving us more of an understanding and respect for this, one of the world’s three great religions. He was also extremely accommodating to our desire for photos. He never tried to rush us and even spent plenty of time taking our photos

A Memorable Trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi - Our recent trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi was an exceptional experience, expertly guided by Sunny, whose extensive knowledge of UAE history enriched our journey. The tour was punctual and well-organized, allowing us to cover all planned locations. Abu Dhabi impressed us as a rapidly growing city, with numerous construction projects showcasing its dynamic development. The highlights of our visit included the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, an architectural masterpiece that’s a must-see for its stunning design and spiritual significance. We also toured the Kings Palace (Qasr Al Watan), which offered fascinating insights into UAE governance and Arabian heritage. These attractions, combined with Sunny’s informative commentary and the city’s blend of tradition and modernity, made for a memorable and enlightening excursion.

A must visit and tour if visiting UAE - Long day but worthwhile. If you visit Dubai then you should visit Abu Dhabi. The mosque, palace, and Etihad Towers were great. An exceptional tour guide in Daco.

Great day trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi - From the moment I booked there was clear and helpful communication regarding pick up time, dress code… Later on our guide (Ahmed Elshemy) got in touch with detailed pick up instructions. On the morning of the tour, we got picked up at the planned time. During the ride from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Ahmed gave us some background of Emirati culture and heritage in a fun and entertaining way. Throughout the day we stopped at all the planned visits with clear information being given and plenty of private time. For lunch we followed Ahmed’s suggestion to go for traditional food (as stated not included in the price). The food was delicious and portions were very big. Thank you to Ahmed and the driver for a well organised day trip to Abu Dhabi.

Excellent Tour - This was one of the best tours we took. Zee was a wonderful guide. He gave an excellent tour filled with knowledge. My husband and I enjoyed this tour, especially the Palace and the Mosque. We were picked up at our hotel in a small minivan. Very comfortable for the 14 people we had on our tour to Abu Dhabi. I would recommend this tour and one would be lucky to get Zee as your guide.

Great way to see Abu Dhabi in a day from Dubai - A nice day out to Abu Dhabi from Dubai. The group size was around 18 people with our lively and informative tour guide Khattab taking us to the following sights: - Louvre Abu Dhabi (short stop) - Etihad towers - Qasr Watan - Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Khattab kept the day moving and the tour was an efficient way to see the main sights of Abu Dhabi in a day. My only gripe was that I would have liked more time in the Qasr Watan and the Grand Mosque. I think the Louvre stop could be removed from the itinerary; it was only a short photo stop so we didn't really get to see much and this would have saved us 30 minutes. But overall a very enjoyable and informative day. Would recommend.

Great option for day trip to Abu Dhabi! - The tour fully met my expectations: small group and visit of the key highlights of Abu Dhabi (Mosque, Presidential towers and Etihad towers as the other places mentioned in the description can be seen only when passing by). The guide gave us a lot of information about Abu Dhabi history and the visited places. I was a solo traveler and It has not so easy to create to interact with the group but, for the rest, I would recommend this tour to anyone.
