Fantastic full day tour of the Grand Mosque & Red Dunes with Oscar Knight Tours.

This tour was fantastic. We got to see the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque without having to spend unnecessary stops for shopping as offered in other full day tours. The Red Dunes with BBQ dinner was excellent. Ashraf was a fantastic and skilful driver. He was a great guide and driver. Enjoyed the Dunes bashing very much. Had fun doing the sun boarding. The camel ride was great. Coffee with the sunset backdrop and photo with the Falcon with the sunset was lovely and romantic. The show during the dinner was very good. Would recommend this tour for anyone wishing to all both itinerary in a day. Ashraf, thank you!

The Best Tour in UAE

Ashraf was the tour guide that we had for the Red Dunes safari and I have to say he is super fun. He picked up me and my friend right from the Business Bay in a Land Cruiser promptly and we drove down to Lababh Desert (45 mins) during the drive we were met with a group of individuals from Morocco! Did some Dune bashing which was insane! It was extreme fun and im sure he had fun the way he was driving on those sandhills (exhilarating!!) he was super professional, patient and courteous! Overall 1000/10000 experience. Loved the camel rides, pictures before the sunset and not to mention the most delicious buffet, live performances (belly dancing, fire shows and traditional dancing) overall it was the highlight of my trip in the UAE and loved the arabian experience.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Tour

I did the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque tour with Waseem, and it was an absolute amazing experience. From the moment he picked us up and and dropped the entire journey was amazing. During our drive to Abu Dhabi which took less than 2 hours, he talked about his back story and also shared alot about the Emirati culture and people. He pointed out monuments, and sights during our drive and made the experience so much more enjoyable. Here for just a short time but this was one of the best services I ever got. The hospitality that Waseem has to offer is personable and does not talk to you like you a regular “tourist” will definitely miss this and looking forward to coming back. In addition, I also shared with Waseem my interest in the Travel & Tourism sector, and he was able to share some great tips that will help me as well! Overall 100/10! Amazing🙏🏽😀
