No guiding, only a driver. Very inadequate prior info about sites visited. On the tour, no explanation whatsoever about Abu Dhabi, its history, royal family, economy, culture, vision. A very shallow, unprofessional tour. Without telling me it was combined with a tour for Hindu Indians and a visit to their temple - adding 3 more hours. I sat in the van, and missed an important meeting gad scheduled back at the hotel. This expensive tour was not worth the money.
The Grand Mosque is unbelievable.. beautiful design and craftsmanship. Also the Emirates Palace. The collection of antiquities at the Louvre shows how the world civilizations have been connected for thousands of years. All of Abu Dhabi is impressive.
The trip was a nice combination. Time at the mosque was a little short. I reserved an English language tour, the guide was from India. The group I was put were mostly from India, so the guide finally spoke more in their language than in English.
Very good. Excellent driver and guide made it a successful day. We were taken to a number of places on the way.
Wish i could visit this place weekly, so ican marvel the grand location and how they put pieces of this masterpiece. Nothing else to say but, see you soon
