Unforgettable day!
Our day trip to Abu Dhabi went perfectly! Our guide Muhammed has guided us very well. Besides the recorded sights we also visited a super beautiful Louvre museum! Definitely worth it! We had an unforgettable day with the very sympathetic Muhammed! Definitely recommended if you want more than just to see Dubai.
Stunning great mosque tour
We made the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque Tour from Dubai. Usman was a great driver with a lot of knowledge of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the life, habits and politics of the people. We had some very interesting conversations and when we fell asleep driving back to Dubai (in the very comfortable car), he quietly and safely drove us back. Great experience and great driver! Thank you Usman. The mosque itself was absolutely stunning and beautiful. Worth to see it for sure!
