Our driver Abdul was great! He's your personal driver and takes you everywhere you want to go on the list of attractions. He never pressures you with time and always makes sure he can take pictures of you and your group. We saw so much with Abdul, and it was a full day! Even at the end, when it was getting late, he allowed us to take our time, and we never felt like we only had limited time somewhere. We had a situation at the Mandarin hotel, and he called the operator and handled it immediately, and we were let in to explore and take pictures. Ask for Abdul!

An absolutely amazing experience with truly breathtaking views! Thanks to Ahmed Hussein , every moment of the excursion was pure enjoyment. Everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully planned step by step. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for something special.

Awesome experience in Abu Dhabi
Dear Mr. Faheem Maik
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you, our driver and guide, for making our day in Abu Dhabi so wonderful.
Despite our limited English, you were patient and explained each sight clearly in easily understandable English. Throughout the day, you consistently checked to see if we had any other places we wished to visit, which allowed us to truly enjoy our first tour of Abu Dhabi.
Your services was truly exceptional, from assisting with photos to your careful attention to keeping us hydrated. We are truly grateful.
You also gave us plenty of time to explore the sights, providing us with through hospitality from early morning until late at night.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have been on your tour. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Absolute must-do excursion
If there were a 10 star rating, this would get it. Absolutely terrific. The dunes were incredible and the drivers were so incredibly skilled. Our driver - Malik - was more than a driver. He looked over our group to make sure we were having fun. He is an excellent iPhone photographer. Then the dune surfing was an absolute riot. The camels made for a great photo, as did the falcon which sat on my arm, and then my head! The four wheeling was fine but you can’t go particularly fast (probably a good thing). The shows were 🔥 and the bbq food was also delicious.
Absolutely a must do if you can carve out 6-7 hours, and if Malik is your guide, I promise you’ll have a great time.

Great morning in Abu Dhabi
A great morning Ayoob was very knowledgable, and took us to some lovely places, and knew where the best photo stops were, great photographer too, helped us download our tickets for the mosque and even had robes for those that needed them. There were four of us on our trip so much better than going with lots of other people.

An Unforgettable Abu Dhabi Layover
We had an 8.5-hour layover in Abu Dhabi and it turned into one of the most beautiful and memorable days of our trip, all thanks to Khalid. The city itself is absolutely stunning — spotless, elegant, and full of breathtaking architecture and culture — and Khalid brought it all to life for us. He was extremely punctual, warm, and knowledgeable, with excellent English. Every stop felt special, and by the end of the day we truly felt like we were spending time with family. We loved every moment of our day with Khalid and fell in love with Abu Dhabi. Highly, highly recommend!

Morning dunes
I've done both this morning trip and an evening trip through another provider. I enjoyed the morning trip so much more and recommend to everyone. The time frame is better and it's less crowded at the camp so you get to enjoy aspects like camel ride and falcon without long lines. This trip was great and I'll do it again

Great experience
This was a really well organised slick tour. The drive is just over 1hr15 from Abu Dhabi, followed by dune bashing for about 30 minutes and photo stop. Plenty to do at camp (dune buggies and quads can be hired there) Food was really good and brilliantly organised, very professional. Lots of food choices - salads, pasta, chips, daals, bbq meats. You can buy alcohol at the bar there but tea / coffee and juices are free

Best tour for a day in AD
This is a brilliant way to learn about Abu Dhabi and see the real gems. The best 3 things to do the tower view, the real Palace (not the hotel) and the Grand Mosque. The Palace was the highlight absolutely stunning. Hamza has a brilliant sense of humour so we had a lot of laughs and he is very knowledgeable. Great day out!

Great experience
I enjoyed this tour a lot. Our driver, Awais, is an experienced dune basher and navigated dunes like a true professional.
The camp part of the tour was entertaining: camel rides, buggy rides, delicious meal and a show. The gentlemen at the camp are wonderful hosts and very accommodating.
I highly recommend the tour company for this adventure.

A wonderful day exploring Abu Dhabi with a superb guide.
A most interesting day seeing much of Abu Dhabi including the Heritage Village, Palace Hotel, date market, Yas Island and the beautiful white mosque. Our excellent driver and guide, Inam, was so knowledgeable about what we saw and he readily answered any questions. He was very friendly and flexible with our little group of 5.

Wonderfully Memorable.
Viji was my tour driver as he called himself rather than tour guide. After a few glitches with the internet to register for the Grand Mosque visit we were on our way. What an absolutely incredible time I had & the tour was far more than I expected. Viji quickly personalised it showing me the best & allowing me to experience some very unique opportunities eg having a Gold Cappuccino at the exquisite Emirates Palace Hotel along with some great photos to remember this fabulous time in Abu Dhabi.
I’m very grateful. Such a wonderful tour.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
There’s no denying that Abu Dhabi’s skyscrapers and cultural attractions are impressive, but there’s so much more to explore beyond the city limits. On Abu Dhabi day trips you can go dune bashing and camel riding in the desert, take a trip to neighboring Dubai to see the Burj Khalifa, or visit the historic oasis city of Al Ain. Whether you prefer natural landscapes or architectural gems, a day trip from the capital lets you explore the best of the region and return to Abu Dhabi in time for sunset.
