A must not miss opportunity on a long transit in Abu Dhabibu

I had a 13hr transit and grateful to be able just get a transit visa so decided I should check out the city. There was no better way with such a short time than to get a personalised tour with less hassle for a few hours. And Mr Majeed was an amazing guide and driver, friendly, knowledgeable and caring service. Immediately made you feel comfortable and was ready to show you all that Abu Dhabi has to offer even in a short period of time.
