This tour is really fascinating. We went to all the beautiful places in Abu Dhabi and they take us to a very nice place to see Abu Dhabi from above (the observatory). Our tour captain & host (Haseeb) was very nice and shares a lot about UAE history. Would recommend this tour to everyone.

I enjoyed this tour very much. On our trip one of the attractions was closed and was replaced with heritage village. The only complaint i have is that I wish we could’ve stayed there a bit longer. It was rushed with only 30 minutes to view. Other than that this was great. Jahan was amazing and so helpful with anything. He gave us a deep background of each place we passed and visited. I would do it again.550daeh
