Awesome trip - Our tour guide Noor was exceptionally friendly and informative throughout the day. With a smaller group, we had ample time to stop, take photos, and immerse ourselves in the city's rich history. We were provided with complimentary bottles of water all day, had a delightful lunch stop after visiting the mosque, and enjoyed some free time near Ferrari World before heading back to Dubai. Despite covering so much in just one day, Noor ensured the pace was relaxed and enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend booking this trip! A big thank you to Noor and Lets explore dubai for a brilliant day out!

Unforgettable experience - The overall experience was fantastic. The tour guide was exceptional, and the Emirati heritage tour was very informative. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is breathtakingly beautiful. I appreciated the convenience of being picked up directly from my hotel. However, I was disappointed not to have the opportunity to enter Ferrari World and the Emirates Palace. It would be great if the tour company could make arrangements in the future to allow tourists to actually go inside these attractions, rather than just passing by them.

Excellent tour guide - What an exceptional day! We managed to cover all the attractions in Abu Dhabi, with the added bonus of a visit to the Louvre. Although the visit was short, it was immensely rewarding. A special highlight was the Etihad Tower, which offers a much better view than the Burj Khalifa! Our guide, Jahan, was simply outstanding - always available, a brilliant photographer, and a true expert on the UAE. He provided us with insightful information on all aspects of the country and our visits, all delivered with a delightful sense of humor. Thank you, Jahan!

Good experience - Our guide Noor was exceptional, combining friendliness with efficiency. He was incredibly helpful at the Grand Mosque, ensuring we felt comfortable and well-informed about this remarkable site. The experience was truly outstanding. The Louvre was also impressive. While we could have spent a bit more time there to grab a bite to eat, the overall tour was very enjoyable. Noor made it relaxing and engaging throughout.

It was a great tour - The extensive insights into religious practices and the mosque's history were fascinating. Ahmed was incredibly accessible for our questions, fluently speaking French and Italian, which put everyone at ease. The transportation was punctual with an air- conditioned vehicle, and Ahmed even ensured we had cold water bottles. We highly recommend this experience and would gladly repeat it on our next visit to Dubai.
