The tour was really nice. The guide was very kind and provided us with a lot of information about what we were visiting, as well as about the city. The only suggestion I would like to give is that, for some attractions—such as the Ferrari Museum—it might be better to pass closer or stop for a couple of minutes. From the car, it is visible only very briefly and from quite far away.

Had an amazing day trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi! Our guide Yunaz was ABSOLUTE CLASS - took care of everything, made sure we had a fun exploring the city and shared so much insider knowledge. Highlights were the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (stunning!), explored the Heritage Village, the beaches. Would totally recommend this trip and Yunaz as your guide 💯!

    The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was really beautifull. We also opted for the UAE Presidential Palace that was incredible. Our guide Sadique had a lot of patience with us and explain the history of the places very well. He also recommended us some places in Dubai that totally worth it.
