Jessica

It was an amazing tour, well organized, great communication, on time and very attentive the whole time.
We were in Dubai for a short time and this tour was very good because we were able to see a lot in one day.

Mahreen H

Jabed Monju was our tour guide and was extremely polite and helpful and knowledgeable about the history of both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He drove us on a guided tour all around Abu Dhabi’s main sights and at each place explained the history behind the place. He was very helpful with my elderly Mom and pushed her wheelchair wherever we stopped to see the sights. Overall we are very very pleased with the knowledge and comfort that Jabed provided us and would highly recommend this tour guide and this half day city Abu Dhabi tour to get a comfortable, no-hassle introduction to the main sights of the grand city of Abu Dhabi that has so much to offer visitors and tourists.

Amazing experience! Our desert safari tour was thrilling, with breathtaking dunes and stunning sunset views. Our guide, Nadeem bhaijaan was knowledgeable and ensured our safety throughout. The camel ride, sandboarding, and cultural shows added to the excitement. Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!

It was one of the best experiences we had in Dubai. Mr. Nadeem was our tour operator and he made sure to make it super comfortable for us. I recommend Mr. Nadeem strongly to have one of the best experiences of your life. We would love to get it done again on our next trip ❤️❤️

Our trip was absolutely fantastic! Mr. Nadeem was an amazing guide, taking care of everything. The desert safari and dune bashing were truly breathtaking – an adrenaline rush like no other! The dinner was delicious, and the entertainment was top-notch. If you’re planning a trip to Dubai, this experience is a must-do!

This tour was a great way to see the highlights of Abu Dhabi. Our tour guide/driver, Jaiswal, was prompt and highly organized and was very helpful in helping us take that “perfect” photo. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is stunning. The stop in the date market was a perfect place to pick up some treats to take home. The timing at each photo stop was just right to enjoy the setting and views. This was a very memorable experience.
