We had a few long hours to spare during our long layover in Abu Dhabi. Since it was our first time in the city we decided to take this private tour. Shafi, our tour guide and conductor, was great. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He took us to see all the more popular sights. We were able to get a good understanding of the city and its recent history of growth and evolution. We would definitely be back.
These are the words that are exactly what we love to hear! Shafi will be thrilled to know his knowledge and humour added to your journey. The city is constantly evolving, so when you’re back, there will be even more to explore.
