What are people saying about Abu Dhabi
Shereen_M, Aug 2026
Great overview of the city
If you are staying in Dubai, a lot of your day will be commuting in the car. Our driver was excellent though and asked in advance what sites we wanted to prioritize to make sure we had a lot of time and didn’t feel rushed at any one stop. Be sure to wear modest clothes for the mosque and palaces. Bring a scarf. Ask for Shehzad - he was a great tour guide.
Keep in mind closures of certain attractions - especially on Mondays

Perfect layover tour for a family with small kids
This is really the perfect layover tour especially for a family with small kids. Our Tour guide Rajesh started communicating with us a day prior to our arrival in Abu Dhabi. On the day of, he provided clear instructions on pick up point and even picked us up a little earlier than planned when we told him we were ready. He arrived in a clean, spacious and air conditioned car and offered water through the day. Rajesh was professional, kind and very patient. He coordinated the tour in a way that we were able to visit all the must see places of the city, take photos, grab lunch and make it back to the airport on time to catch our next flight. Rajesh has a fun and interactive way of sharing information of the city , he got us all engaged even our 5 years old, we learned a lot. In addition he takes amazing photos. 10/10 recommend him.

Excellent tour and tour...
Excellent tour and tour guide. Punctual, very friendly and knowledgeable. We had many questions and area, economy, lifestyle and culture and he answered them all. Took us to spots that were unexpected treats. Service was above and beyond. Will definitely recommend and use 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.

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.

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.

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% !!!

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!

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.
