WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center
Explore one of the world’s largest mosques on a half-day tour, the only mosque that captures unique interactions between Islam and world cultures. Sheikh Zayed's vision for the Grand Mosque was to incorporate architectural styles from different Muslim civilizations and celebrate cultural diversity by creating a haven that is truly diverse and inspirational in its foundation. (NOTE: Fridays only photo points are available because of Islamic Friday Prayer)
2. Etihad Towers
(Photo Stop) - The towers are located opposite the Emirates Palace hotel and feature offices, apartments and a hotel. The towers were used as a filming location for the 2015 film Furious 7. In the film, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) steal a Lykan HyperSport and drive it through three of the towers.
3. Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi
(Photo Stop) - The design of the building is a playful mix of cherished Islamic architectural elements such as balance, geometry, proportions, rhythm and hierarchical emphasis to create a unified whole. The inspired grand dome with elaborate geometrical patterns dominates over 114 smaller domes spread over the building. The color of the building aims to reflect different shades of sands found in the Arabian Desert.
4. The Corniche
(Photo Stop) - The Corniche (or Corniche Road) is located in the city of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The Corniche Road spreads across an 8km long stretch. It forms a sweeping curve on the western side of the main Abu Dhabi island and is replete with cycle paths, fountains and park areas.
5. Louvre Abu Dhabi
(Photo Stop) - The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art and civilization museum, located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The museum was inaugurated on 8 November 2017 by French President Emmanuel Macron and United Arab Emirates Vice President Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The museum is part of a thirty-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. The museum is located on the Saadiyat Island Cultural District. It is approximately 24,000 square metres (260,000 sq ft) in size, with 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft) of galleries, making it the largest art museum in the Arabian peninsula.
6. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
(Photo Stop) - Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is a mostly indoors amusement park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is the first Ferrari-branded theme park and has the record for the largest space frame structure ever built. Formula Rossa, the world's fastest roller coaster, is also located here.
7. Heritage Village
(Photo Stop) Heritage Village in Abu Dhabi is a model of an Emirati village which exhibits the Bedouin lifestyle and heritage. This venue is an interesting cultural attraction and a place that can be one of the most family-friendly destinations. There are no entry fees and is open to all guests. The place has innumerable attractions like the Bedouin tents set up with campfires and piping hot Arabic tea. The camels, Arabian horses, and goats are put on a display, this can be a pleasing sight to the kids in the family! The heritage village also hosts several artisan exhibits of the local arts like weaving or glass blowing.
8. Qasr Al Watan
(Photo Stop) Qasr Al Watan is more than a palace, it is a unique testament to the spirit of the United Arab Emirate's people and its leaders. The Palace invites the world to share our culture, knowledge and inspiring journey. Qasr Al Watan is more than just a palace, it is an enriching interactive journey in a contemporary setting that reveals and reflects on governance, knowledge and craftsmanship.

We had Jaiswal ji as our tour guide & driver for both Abu Dhabi & Dubai city tour. His excellent driving just made the journey on both the days effortless. Also he is very informative and accommodating. He made sure to show us all the important landmarks at both the places. He also ensured we got the best photos at the photo stops even captured a few pictures for us. Will surely recommend him if you are visiting Dubai anytime soon.

Jaiswal and everyone involved in our tour was amazing . He picked us up from the hotel and brought us to Abu Dhabi but he’s very informative but just enough information for us to enjoy and take great pictures. The Heritage Village and the Emirates Palace were great spots that he told us about by the way, everyone needs to go to Abu Dhabi to see the famous mosque. It’s amazing, everyone involved with the tour, especially him outstanding and I would absolutely recommend it to anybody.

Jaiswal was our driver/guide. He picked us up at our hotel ( a few miles mutes early) and we were off to Abu Dhabi. First we visited the Mosque. What an amazingly beautiful place!! This is a must see!! Ladies, make sure you wear pants or full length skirt and long sleeve top. Also a scarf for you head as women must be covered head to toe. Men must have long pants and shoulders covered. If you forget, you'll have to buy a burka- like dress. (The cheapest of which was $45. ) After this we visited the Governor's Palace- now a luxurious hotel and also made some other quick stops for photos. By early afternoon we headed back to the desert in Dubai where we rode 4 wheelers(extra charge), got up close with a falcon and then got a desert SUV ride. When we arrived at the "camp" , we got to ride a camel and I got a henna tattoo. The buffet bbq was quite extensive with many local dishes. All of our activities were perfectly arranged by Jaiswal - he did a great job!! After the dinner there was belly dancing to complete the night. The tour was over 12 hrs. A long but really fun day. So glad we did it ! Thank you again Jaiswal and all the guys at the safari that made the day great!

Amazing tour. Our tour guide jaisal was great. He wanted to make sure we saw as many things as possible in abu dhabi. He took great photos of us. The ONLYYYY thing was my husband is the only one that understands hindi and asked him to speak English but he kept talking Hindi. That's minimum tho. He was still awesome. Only other downfall is that the over booked the vehicle. 9 people when only 8 can sit comfortably. To make up for that inconvenience the owner met up with us and brought us to the hotel in a separate vehicle as well as brought us food directly to our table to ensure we were good. The food was amazing. The experiences were something we will never forget how great they were. The dune buggy driving and atvs were amazing in the desert. The show outstanding. I would do it again. Amazingggggggg tour!!!

Omg yall. I had thee best time on this excursion. Its was better than expected From the beginning to the end Sami, the tour guide was AMAZING!! We felt like VIP. He led us the way to each stop and never made us feel alone. He even protected us when the marketers were harassing us to buy products from them. I recommend this booking for anyone looking to spend the whole day out for adventure.
