What are people saying about Abu Dhabi

Great service for a layover in Abu Dhabi!
Our driver, Shehzad, was fantastic! He communicated in advance letting us know exactly when and where to meet, responded right away, and when he arrived he drove us around Abu Dhabi where we wanted to go over layover. He stayed around the area so he was ready to pick us up at a moments notice. He also provided so much cultural information about the country that we learned so much. He was a fantastic driver and person and we will definitely ask for him again if we travel to Dubai or Abu Dhabi again!

One of the coolest things I’ve ever done
This was seriously one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The dune bashing was awesome! The guides are pros at it. It was convenient that the guide picked me up at the hotel. All of the other guides arrived at the desert at the same time and we caravanned through the dunes to the safari camp. The camel ride was awesome and the dinner provided was delicious. This was awesome and I’d totally do it again.

Smooth and Well-Paced Private Tour with Shakir
We had a very pleasant experience with our private guide Shakir in Abu Dhabi.
He was well-prepared and clear in communication, taking time to go through the itinerary with us at the beginning so expectations were aligned. Throughout the day, he managed the schedule smoothly and adjusted the pace based on our comfort.
Shakir was courteous, attentive, and professional, especially at cultural and religious sites, where his manner made us feel comfortable and respected. He never rushed us and maintained a calm, considerate presence throughout the tour.
Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience. We would recommend Shakir to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful private guide in Abu Dhabi.

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.

Absolutely worth it – perfect Abu Dhabi highlights tour
A very well-organized tour covering the main sights of Abu Dhabi. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was absolutely stunning, with enough time to enjoy and take photos. The Corniche drive and views of Emirates Palace were beautiful, and the stop at Etihad Towers offered great city views. Qasr Al Watan was truly impressive.
Professional guide, smooth transport, and all admissions included. Excellent value and highly recommended!

If you’re looking for a thrill
If you’re visiting Abu Dhabi and looking for an unforgettable experience, the Morning Desert Safari is a must-do. From the thrill of dune bashing in a 4x4 to peaceful moments at a camel farm, every part of the excursion is exciting and well planned. Camel rides, sand boarding, and even photos with a falcon make it a perfect mix of adventure and culture. The tour is professionally run, great value for the price, and leaves you with incredible memories in just a few hours. If you’re even thinking about it—don’t hesitate. Book it and thank yourself later! 🌅🏜️✨

Aamir is THE tour guide!...
Aamir is THE tour guide! Super friendly and helpful. I learnt a lot about UAE, the dessert, culture, him and his personal journey.
A real connection and all round great guy, ask for him!
The program itself is awesome, unbelievable value for money & definitely unforgettable, I mean how often do you get to pat a falcon let alone hold one in your hands and cuddle it.
Next time I'm in Abu Dhabi, I will ask for this guy again, 1000% !!!

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

Dubai in a Day
A long day but a well paced one with breaks for morning coffee at the Marina, lunch with fountains and Burj Khalifa view at The Mall and afternoon tea Creekside in the Old Town after visiting the gold and spice markets. Ronnie was a friendly, informative and attentive guide.

Great way to be driven to all the main attractions
The tour was with Ratheesh. He was very polite and accommodating, took us to all the places you read about in the guides, like the Grand Mosque, Date Market, etc. In each place he generally dropped us off and gave us freedom to choose how much time to spend there. It was very flexible, we could just WhatsApp him if we wanted to change the end time. It was generally up to us to find out information about the places we visited: he knew things like when they were built and how much they cost. He told us some interesting things about living as a foreigner in Abu Dhabi. At the Date Market he helped us navigate all the possibilities. Thanks to him we got a great one-day tour of Abu Dhabi's main attractions.

Great tour organisers
At first, I wasn't sure, but I was impressed with the tour. They picked me up and dropped me off at the mosque, where we waited for the tour guide and the group to arrive from Dubai. The guide, Hamsa, was knowledgeable and understanding of everyone's needs. He explained everything clearly and answered all our questions. I certainly recommend this tour.

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.

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.
