What are people saying about Abu Dhabi

johany857, Oct 2026

Super excursion from start to finish (thanks Azi)

We were picked up punctually and in a friendly manner by our guide "Azi" and drove immediately to the desert. The trip there alone was pleasant and one felt very comfortable. He explained everything to us multiple times, showed us many spots, and took beautiful photos of us in the desert. Then the tour started, which was really fun and exciting, and yet one felt safe quickly. Upon arrival, one immediately received drinks. One could freshen up - there were many restrooms - everything was very clean. Everyone who worked there was friendly. The show was great, the buffet very delicious. You could ride buggies and quads there (extra charge) and go sandboarding. That was one of our best afternoons here.

Great tour by Mostafa

This tour was great. I got picked up at my hotel and then they took us to a group tour bus. The group tour guide (Mostafa Y) was amazing and really cared about showing and telling us what all the buildings and landmarks were. Probably the best tour that I have been on in a while.

Rajesh Made Our Abu Dhabi Tour Exceptional!

We had an absolutely amazing Abu Dhabi tour, and Rajesh made the entire experience unforgettable! From start to finish he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to our group. It was my wife, my brother and his wife, and he made sure each of us felt comfortable, engaged, and well taken care of throughout the day. Rajesh shared so much history and cultural insight at every stop, answered all of our questions, and kept everything perfectly timed without ever making us feel rushed. His warm personality and genuine passion for what he does truly elevated the tour. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’re so grateful to have had Rajesh as our guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the UAE — ask for Rajesh if you can!

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

Small-Group Self-Drive Speedboat Tour in Yas Island Mangroves

Humberto_G, Jan 2026

Good Yas boat ride in Abu Dhabi

The 90-minute time is fine. It is not short or excessive. They have good views. It is safe and fun to ride the jet ski, it is quite powerful. The stop at the beach of the island is not very extensive but gives stop to take a bath. The mangroves are interesting raisins 15 meters from them, you don't go through a narrow gallery. The English of the guides is acceptable but not very clear.

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!
