Awesome experience in Abu Dhabi
Dear Mr. Faheem Maik
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you, our driver and guide, for making our day in Abu Dhabi so wonderful.
Despite our limited English, you were patient and explained each sight clearly in easily understandable English. Throughout the day, you consistently checked to see if we had any other places we wished to visit, which allowed us to truly enjoy our first tour of Abu Dhabi.
Your services was truly exceptional, from assisting with photos to your careful attention to keeping us hydrated. We are truly grateful.
You also gave us plenty of time to explore the sights, providing us with through hospitality from early morning until late at night.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have been on your tour. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

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.

Easy trip from Dubai to Abu Dabi that hits the major tour sites.
Excellent day tour from Dubai to Abu Dabi if you want to see the mosque, palace, heritage center and market. Hafiz was punctual, professional and super helpful, teaching us the sights and significance of the history of the UAE and its development and heritage as we buzzed from Dubai to Abu Dabi and back. Your guide will not join you in the mosque, which was completely fine, we came prepared. He did join us for the palace and even took pictures for us. Highly recommend for engaged teenagers who are interested in culture and the sights.

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! 🌅🏜️✨

Fantastic introduction to Abu Dhabi
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was very beautiful. I loved seeing the incredible architecture and stunning designs. However, there was a lot of walking involved and the path for visitors was restricted so you had to keep going in a specified direction and it made the process unnecessarily long and tedious. After the mosque, we visited a lovely Heritage Village where we learned about the old way of life in Dubai. We saw animals, markets, and historical artifacts. It was wonderful. Then we went to Emirates Palace which was spectacular. Overall this trip is a fantastic introduction to Abu Dhabi and well worth the trip.

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.

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% !!!

Definitely a must when in Abu Dhabi!
Very fun experience and great value! The dune thrill rides in the SUV was a blast, these guys are skilled at what they do. If you get motion sickness, this part is not for you. Great sunset pictures, quick camel rides, sand surfing, dinner and entertainment. Fun evening to spend in the desert and highly recommend!

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!

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 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.
