Our guide was very young and seemed kind-hearted and well-intentioned, but unfortunately the tour itself was disappointing. She arrived about 45 minutes late, and once the tour began, she did not appear very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, or factual details of the mosque.
Instead of focusing on an informative, educational tour, she frequently shifted into preaching about the Muslim faith and made negative comparisons about life and values in the USA. This became uncomfortable, especially as she repeatedly questioned a young member of our group about his faith, told him he was “lost,” and insisted he needed to have a faith. She also made statements suggesting that other religions mislead people and that Islam is the only correct faith.
We came hoping for a respectful, informative tour of this beautiful and important mosque—not to be judged or shamed for our personal beliefs. It was unfortunate, because she genuinely seemed kind, but she did not conduct herself in a professional way expected of a tour guide.

Our private tour of the Grand Mosque with Alhasan was beyond our greatest hopes or expectations. Alhasan was a wealth of knowledge, and went at our speed - at no point did we feel rushed - and the mosque at sunset was beyond spectacular! Thank you !!!

Ali was knowledgeable and the absolute perfect guide for our group. We were extremely happy with our choice and would highly recommend this tour.

The Mosque was gorgeous. Definitely a must see. I hate that I forgot our tour guides name because she was such a beautiful person inside and out. She made the tour very enjoyable.

Highly organized, professional, warm and accommodating private tour. Excellent guides, worry/stress-free. Learned so much about the Grand mosque as well as Emirati cultural and historical facts.

The mosque is so beautiful and stately by itself but our guide was a local Emirati who made the tour more interesting sharing history and details about Abu Dhabi and the mosque, definitely we enjoyed much more and we learned a lot. And he was a great photographer

What a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the mosque, the Koran, religion, calligraphy, and the UAE. She always asked if we had any questions and if we wanted her to repeat anything. The private driver was very responsible and friendly.

The best part was our tour guide SHAMSA ..
She made the experience educational and not just sight seeing ..
she was so knowledgeable and professional and fun .. she shared with so much about the culture and background of the construction of the mosque ..
We will remember this experience always and she is a part of that memory ..
Visiting the mosque without a guide would not have been as fulfilling ..
We learned so much ..
This tour is a must see if you plan to visit ABU DHABI ..

C’était prévu avec guide parlant français le lundi .. visite reportée car guide parlait anglais.. la découverte a donc eu lieu le jeudi, très très déçues. peu de valeur ajoutée il est noté 1h30 à 2h . La visite de la mosquée a duré à peine 1/2h véritable rapidité. Nous n’avons pu apprécié la splendeur de la mosquée à sa juste valeur. . La guide nous a emmenées dans sa voiture personnelle, elle ne retrouvait pas le chemin de notre hôtel. Alors oui.. la prestation a duré plus d’1h30. Mais pas à bon escient. Le tout pour la modique somme de 224,66€. Scandaleux, honteux. Vraiment très déçues.
