    Better guide/driver

    Rick_T, Feb 2025
    Our driver spoke very poor English and therefore did not explain much of anything. Pointing out local banks was not what we went on this tour for. His driving was horrible and at one point while descending a steep and winding mountain road we had to ask him to stop using his phone. To which his response was “it was a busy time of day receiving tomorrow’s dispatch “. Even after this he continued to use his phone for the next two hours back to Abu Dhabi. There is lots to see on this tour. It would just have been nice to know what we were seeing.

    The old fort, oasis and mountain top were amazing. Exploring the heritage of Arabic culture. Definitely a trip worth experiencing.

    Excellent visit to AlAin

    Anthony_M, Dec 2023
    Excellent tour to Al Ain area. Munir was an excellent and safe driver. As there were only two of use on the tour we could not have the lunch and camel market visit. Shame to miss these but was made up by having our own personal guide Munir was enlightening and amusing

    Too hot and no information

    Natalie_C, Jul 2023
    Driver was safe but did not have any ability to communicate how to go through the stops. At the Ain Oasis he dropped us off at the back end and the guards didn’t say anything but there is a shuttle that will take you around since it’s so large and sweltering in July. That’s one tip. If you don’t have to go in July pick a cooler month to go. Also the driver kept the water under the seat but still was warmed by the floor and the sun coming through the window, should have put it in a cooler. The mountain was neat to see but all facilities were closed and it took over an hour to find us a toilet. Just not a tour that was really with it. Especially if you come from Abu Dhabi the drive is a little over 2 hours.

    Bien

    MARTINE_S, Dec 2024
    Très bien. Belle excursion intéressante. Permet d'avoir une vision des emirats différente de celle de Dubai ou Aibou dhabi. Chauffeur au top ! Mais attention le repas n est pas forcément compris et vous n êtes pas prévenus.. nous étions 2 mais pensions faire partie d'un groupe. Mais non en fait nous étions seuls et de ce fait pas de repas compris ni organisé.. Le chauffeur ayant compris notre mécontentement a improvisé pour trouver un restaurant Un repas edt nclus ou pas. Le prix est individuel. Donc pourquoi cette restriction si 3 personnes. C est la première fois que je vois cela.
