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...
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.

A Perfect Desert Adventure in Abu Dhabi
This desert safari was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The dune bashing was exciting but felt safe and well controlled, with a very skilled driver. Sandboarding was a lot of fun, even for beginners, and the camel ride added a calm, authentic touch to the trip. The BBQ dinner was tasty, with a good variety of food, and the atmosphere in the desert camp was relaxed and welcoming. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. A perfect way to experience the Abu Dhabi desert!

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

Excellent way to learn about Abu Dhabi
We expected a great day to see the highlights of Abu Dhabi and received exactly that. Our guide/driver was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about Abu Dhabi and the UAE. We visited so many sites during the tour and learned so much about the city. Our guide was also very accommodating to include dropping us off at the Dubai Mall at the end of the tour at our request. We highly recommend this tour.

Best way to experience Abu Dhabi in a Day!
Had a wonderful day with Shinoj! He was very courteous, thorough, informative and kind. We had a chance to modify the agenda for what we were interested in doing for the day. We spent the entire day together from 930 until 530, starting in Abu Dhabi. It was a low stress way to have someone local and experienced take you to all the sites and make it a great relaxing day. Highly recommended!

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.

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.
