“We had an amazing day trip to Abu Dhabi, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Riz. He was fantastic—funny, engaging, and full of interesting facts that made the whole experience entertaining from start to finish. Riz kept the mood light with jokes, shared great insights about each place we visited, and made sure everything ran smoothly. He’s also a superb photographer and knows all the best spots, so we came back with incredible photos from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Watan, and the Observation Deck at Etihad Towers.

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 40 reviews · 4 hours · from $95

Snorkel with turtles, rays, and colorful fish in Fujairah, then enjoy a generous BBQ lunch on this small-group boat trip.

“Honestly, it’s not worth driving 4 hours for this trip. There were no turtles and barely any fish. The boat was extremely small, and the toilet was in terrible condition — even in the center area. The man driving the boat had a horrible smell; it was unbearable and made us feel sick. Because of that, we couldn’t even continue with the second snorkeling session. Overall, a very disappointing experience.”

“Wir hatten einen traumhaften Tag! Morgens wurden wir (2 Erwachsene & ein 4-jähriges Kind) von Jamshi abgeholt. Obwohl wir uns verspätet hatten, war er sehr geduldig. In Abu Dhabi hatten wir genug Zeit – die Moschee war beeindruckend! Zur Mittagszeit waren wir zurück im Hotel. Am Nachmittag holte uns Hasseb zur Dubai-Tour ab. Viele schöne Fotostopps, tolle Eindrücke! Beide Guides waren freundlich & verständnisvoll – besonders mit unserem Kind. 6/6 Sterne – gerne wieder! ------------------------------------------------- We had a fantastic day! In the morning, Jamshi picked us up. Though we were late, he waited patiently. We had enough time in Abu Dhabi – the mosque was stunning! Back at the ho...”
