Sherzad was a great tour guide who was punctual and made us feel comfortable, the tour itself was amazing , we got to spend how ever long we wanted at each site, he was very patient waiting and allowing us to experience all the sites in Abu Dhabi. The private tour is definitely worth the money and their communication is great too making sure you know when to be ready and anything else you’d need so we never felt alone.

This was one of the main highlights of our trip to UAE. We stayed in Al Ain and Dubai for most of our time, so this was a treat to see another terrific side of the country. We brought our children on this trip & felt safe the entire time. Our guide Sherzada was kind, patient, and an excellent companion for the day. He was flexible allowing us more time at some of the stops as our day evolved. Make sure to use What’s App to communicate with this company once you book with them. I would highly recommend adding this day trip to your visit to UAE!

Thank you Hashim and Ahmed :)

Our guide Saeed was great! He was very knowledgeable and well versed in the history of all the sights. He customized our tour based on what we wanted to do and see. He is also fluent in Hindi/Urdu and is an entertaining story teller. Highlights of our tour: -The Last Exit rest stop. If you are a fan of the Mad Max movies you will really appreciate this. All of the post-apocalyptic vehicles from the movie are spread out in the parking lot and even the restrooms are worth going into to see the creative door handles. -The Grand Mosque. The architecture is stunning. If you want to go inside the mosque, make sure you are properly dressed (ladies make sure to have a scarf to cover your hair. No shorts. Proper clothing can also be purchased at mosque). -Ferrari World. They have some sick roller coasters! -BONUS~~~~Saeed will serve you the best karak chai(special tea) at the end of the tour :).
