The mosque wasn’t the...

Bre_M, Jun 2025

The mosque wasn’t the problem. Upon driving back from the mosque the driver continuously falling asleep and going into another lane. Not to mention we were going over the 140 speed limit. Dangerous, unapologetic , wouldn’t use them again.

Great day with the family

Our tour guide Hichem absolutely made the day. He was knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. By the end of the day, he was our friend . The tour was well thought out and very informative. We enjoyed it very much! Would highly recommend. THANK YOU HICHEM!

Great way to explore Abu Dhabi from Dubai

Michael_C, Sep 2024

My wife and I had a day layover in Dubai, and we decided to use it to explore the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. Our driver was on time and did a good job explaining facts as we drove the 1.5 hrs. Once there, he assisted us to getting us into the mosque (my wife's dress was too shear so she had to buy a different option), and then waited for us as we explored. He then drove us into the heart of Abu Dhabi with a few stops. These were nice, but one seemed like a shop when we thought it was a museum. By this point, we were too jet lagged to continue and he took us back to our hotel in Dubai. Besides the awkward exchange at the "museum", we enjoyed the time.

Excellent trip to Sheikh Zayed Mosque

We had a great time visiting Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Our driver was prompt, picking us up at our hotel. The drive to the mosque was very pleasant. The mosque itself is very beautiful. Would definitely visit again.

The worst.

Angelica_C, Sep 2023

Worst tour I’ve ever been on in my life. Driver went to wrong hotel for pickup, kept falling asleep on the drive to and from the mosque while going 140 km/hr and getting beeped at constantly. Didn’t feel safe at all. Plus he didn’t speak a word of English, so wasn’t a tour guide at all, was just a driver. Also, when we arrived at the mosque, he started helping other people and left us to wait around for him. Then tried to tell us we only had 30 minutes when our tour was supposed to be at LEAST two hours on site. Terrible experience overall, wouldn’t recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you fro your feedback.. 1-You canged the pickup location on last moment 2-Drive was driving underspeed limit Sz road speed limit is 140 KM/h and he is very profession guide we dont belive he can sleep on drive but as per your concern we alredy give him warning on this case. 3-He is english speaking tour guide with both driving and tour guide licence. 4-As we can see your booking just for mosque tour and when we have private tour just for one place how cum guide ask you to leave in 30 min there is no sence on your clame and if he give you only 30 min how cum he let you wait it means in 30 min he hepls others and let you wait as well. we can understand you were not happly with us but for that false clame is not good because it cause someone lose his job. Thank you

Mosque and Blessings

PATRICE_W, Apr 2023

IT was a fun filled day. But most importantly the history and beauty of the mosque was most impressive. Taking a tour to the Heritage village to pray was a blessing in itself.
