ALEXANDRA_F, Mar 2026

Our driver Abdul was...

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 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!

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.
