Two years later, we built the tallest topiary sculpture in the world; the 18-metre sculpture feature was Disney’s first character floral display in the Middle East – officially licenced – and was made with 100,000 plants and flowers, weighing in at nearly 35 tons.

What are people saying about Dubai

Full Day Dubai City Tour with At the Top Burj Khalifa Ticket

Allan_P, Oct 2026

Full day Private Dubai Tour: Mohammed is the man!

As seasoned travellers, we rarely come across a City Tour which leaves you speechless at its conclusion. This is one of those rare gems but in our experience it is not the tour itself: our 5-Star Rating is because of our fabulous, kind, considerate & highly professional tour guide/driver, Mohammed! When you book ASK for him, on your private tour. We could write endless words describing our truly wonderful day but we’ll try and express our thoughts in the following. Mohammed, contacted us a number of times prior to pick-up, we had a really nice vehicle with beautiful AC, endless bottles of water, lots of stops for photos, etc. One of the first things he did was to discuss his broad plan for the 8-hours allotted & then we all agreed on a plan which he executed, but always asking us if we wanted to go here or there. Mohammed has definitely found his calling in life: we joked several times with him, asking “is there anything you don’t know about Dubai & the UAE?”: No is the answer: he was a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge & fun facts! He got us to all the tourist & non-tourist areas & attractions with ease: we never opened our wallet for anything: everything was organised including ‘skip the line’ for the Burj Khalifa (unbelievable experience). He even got us to the Dubai Mall & showed us around including the water show & an incredible neon light show on the Burj & other buildings: we went way over our time, but not for a second did Mohammed give us the impression that he wanted our tour to end: we were all having such a memorable time. Well as you can now see why Mohammed must be sourced for your Dubai Private Day Tour: we hope The UAE has an awards night for the very best tour guides being recognised! If it were up to us he would receive the Gold Award of Excellence! This is sooo easy to rate the highest possible 5-Star rating & to HIGHLY recommend this tour with this guide. It was well worth the money. For our fellow travellers we hope this helps in making your decision super easy, in this case. Kind regards, GreyNomads

Magical

We spent an incredible day with Fazal! He is of a kindness and gentleness such as the world has few, as well as a lot of patience! I speak poor English and he did everything so that we would understand everything about the tour! And Abu Dhabi is magical and if you have the luck to have Fazal, you will have a very beautiful day!

Su set and star gazing in the desert

Great experience and perfect for those who can’t do the sand dune driving. The drive there, falcon demo followed by a sensational dinner that we couldn’t do justice to as it was way too much food. Did try camel meat which was very tasty A talk about the stars was also very informative

Abu Dhabi - Sheikh Zayed Mosque

The tour was exceptionally well organised, they picked me up from the hotel, then we came together at a meeting point, then we visited the Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi. All the tour guides were extremely friendly, and knew a lot about the place we were going to and also the country in general. Highly recommend !

I recently booked a desert safari tour with Khalifa Desert Adventure, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the pickup to the drop-off, everything was perfectly organized and handled in a very professional manner. The driver was highly skilled, especially during the dune bashing, which was both thrilling and safe. The desert views were absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. The camp experience was also fantastic, with delicious food, great entertainment, and excellent hospitality. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. I highly recommend Khalifa Desert Adventure to anyone looking for an exciting and well-managed desert safari experience. It was worth every moment and every penny! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had Abdul as our guide. He was fantastic with giving us all the information on things we did. He was a great driver and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. He stayed with us past the tour time to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. I'd recommend this to all as an awesome day trip from Dubai.

Abu Dhabi Private City Tour

Pavels_M, Jan 2026

Abu Dhabi tour

We did the tour and it was great! We had Umar as our guide / driver. He explained different land marks and provided information as we were driving around, which was informative. It was flexible which was nice as we could go at our own pace but still manage to see all the sites. Would recommend if anyone is visiting Abu Dhabi!

From Dubai: Abu Dhabi Full-Day Trip with Louvre & Grand Mosque

Haris_G, Jan 2026

Beautiful mosque experience!

One of the most amazing experiences I have done in a long time seeing the beautiful mosque and explanations of history behind it all, highly recommended. Aya was super friendly and made sure we were all comfortable and had plenty of time to do things we wanted to do at each location.

Dubai: Skip-The-Line Ticket to Dubai Miracle Garden

Laurel_H, Dec 2025

Magnificent a must see

The gardens are truly magnificent and really worth the visit. I had my elderly mother so we hired a little taxi to drive us around, we hired it for an hour, but half an hour would have been long enough. The driver was very willing to take loads of photos. I had left a day for this activity, but it can easily be walked around at a leisurely pace in half a day. There are lots of places to sit and relax as well as buy eats and drinks.

Burj Khalifa Platinum Experience – The Lounge 152, 153 & 154

Rob_S, Dec 2025

Incredible experience!

After reading reviews I opted for the VIP option and it was worth it on every aspect! Having access to the 152nd, 153rd, and 154th floors and outside observation deck was beyond description. Exquisite decor, classy staff, and a beautiful and calm atmosphere to enjoy the views. I spent nearly an hour with all three floors to myself other than staff. They offered drinks and sweets and were very accommodating to anything I may need or want. I ventured dine to the 144th floor and its outside observation deck. It was more crowded, and less classy. Still very very nice, just not near as posh. The views were nice but not as stunning as those from above. Then went to the 125th floor and down to the 124th floor/outside observation deck. It was nice, but nothing special in decor. It was crowded and honestly the views although still impressive; failed miserably in comparison to bring an additional 30 stories above this point. I felt bad for everyone who seemingly were truly enjoying themselves, wishing they could have had the same experience I did. If you have the means and the interest, this was an incredible experience! It’s worth the extra money to fully have the true Khalifa experience as intended. The driver was very polite and early to ensure you were dropped off and picked up on time.
