Abu Dhabi Tour - My wife and I had a wonderful time touring Abu Dhabi despite the summer heat. Our guide Zaid was exceptional. He was so knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. And he was so informative about Adu Dhabi offering advice on places to visit and shop. The tour went smoothly as he recommended what to focus on and kept things on track. Perfect day!

Mirage & Maarvels: Abu Dhabi's Wonders - This excursion was 100% worth it! The entire time I was out with this company my jaw dropped! Not only did we get to see breathtaking sights, but I learned so much while I was exploring. The guide, Mostafa, had wonderful information and was our personal photographer for the day. I traveled solo and quite a few others did as well and he was right there to make sure we got pictures of ourselves the entire time! He was extremely knowledgable and ensured we had an amazing time throughout the entire excursion. I really enjoyed the Mosque, but every single stop we made was well worth it! I HIGHLY recommend this excursion!
