Seven stars - As of today, Abudabi already has one more record, a Guide, Joseph, who has 7 stars as the Burj Al Arab, so remember to put it for next time.
Attentive, Pro, pending all the time because she traveled alone. Impeccable, come on, a real wonder. The tour is very well maintained and very complete and in the restaurant all kindness

Amazing Trip to Abu Dhabi - This was genuinely one of the best excursions and tours ive done in a while, all the places that we visited were amazing and the views were to die for. We also had lots of time to take our own pictures and explore the places by ourselves. Also our tour guide Hossam Hassan was a very nice man and made it easy to understand the history and culture of Abu Dhabi but also the UAE in general and made sure we were all taken care of. Overall a 5/5 experience for everyone

Abu Dhabi, Grand Mosque and Palace - We had a full day tour from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and return with our very informative guide Mossam Hassan.
Visited the Emirates Towers and had great views from the 74 floor of Abu Dhabi.
The Palace was amazing and after a delicious lamb lunch we headed to the Grand Mosque. Hassam explained the various features and gave us details of when and how frequently a Muslim attends a mosque and or prays.
On our return journey to Dubai we were given further insight into the workings of Muslim faith.
Mossam is an excellent guide and looked after our group extremely well.

Wonderful Experience 🇦🇪 at Ocean Air Travels - I must admit that it has been one of the most amazing tour experiences I have had, you have been exquisite in every detail from the first minute with Juan our Guide who knew how to beautifully lead our way. Thanks to him the journey was culturally rewarding and enriching in all the doubts and questions of the tourists. We all enjoy funny notes and share anecdotes. What can I say about Abu Dhabi? It's perfect. It's a dream come true, it's the present and future because the past is just a jump. I hope to return to my husband when in 2026 they already have flying cars, come on Juan that is a fact, we hope that by then you have your badge N 1 !!! Thank you for everything Ocean Air Travels !!! 🤗🎉🥳
