Must Do in Abu Dhabi
This Tour is a must on anyone’s Abu Dhabi trip. Both the Louvre and Grand Mosque architecture is beautiful. Of course the Abu Dhabi Louvre does not have the famous works of many painters, but it is only in its infancy. What we did see was excellent. The Grand Mosque is BEAUTIFUL!!!! This has been the Highlight of our trip. Words alone cannot do justice to the beauty of this site. We spent an hour absorbing every fine detail. The Driver and Guide were very friendly and informative. I have no hesitation in recommending this Tour. Thank you.
