Review of a Dubai to Abu Dhabi day trip featuring Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Qasr Al Watan, Etihad Towers, hotel pickup, and practical tips.
“The tour is amazing. At first me and my wife consider that having a good guide is essencial to any tour. In our tour we had an excellent English speaker guide (Mohammad Iqbal) and showed us a lot about Abu Dhabi, the tour stops and what we were supposed to do. The mosque is amazing, and the guide helped us to not be part of the crowd. After that we went to the palace, which was incredible aswell. We had lunch (Arab buffet) excellent. Since the tour company does not claim for commissions, our lunch was 15 AEDs cheaper per person. Then we went to Etihad Towers. Plenty time to…”

Review the Al Ain day trip from Abu Dhabi, with museums, camel markets, Jebel Hafeet views, oasis walks, and buffet lunch.
“This is a great tour because it's outside of the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai....It seemed, in a sense, to be a more authentic experience because of the emphasis on the natural landscape - from the Oasis, to the dunes, to the climb up the mountain. You get a sense of how royalty lived pre-oil, or shortly after the discovery of oil with the visit to Sheikh Zayed's former home before he became president. And, if you have kids - they'll like it. I went alone with my kids who are 5 and 8.”
