“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. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with comfortable pickup and drop-off from our accommodation in Dubai,…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 121 reviews · from $67

Review of a full-day Abu Dhabi tour from Dubai with Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Heritage Village, Yas Island, guided commentary, and lunch.

“Our guide met us at the hotel on time for the tour. He introduced himself, but I could not understand him. He did not use eye contact while talking with the female passengers, which may be a local custom. The commentary was minimul and at times hard to understand, He had extra head coverings for the ladies who forgot to bring one. He also gave one lady a jacket to wear when she had problems passing security at the mosque. Our lunch at the Sheraton was nice, and he gave us ample time to enjoy it.”
