Amazing!!!!! - Our tour guide was Jahan. He was a minefield of knowledge. He conducted the tour with professionalism and humour. We felt comfortable to ask questions throughout. Our driver was safe and cautious. This half day city tour was the highlight of our stay. We were offered unlimited bottle of ice cold water to deal with the 44°c heat

Meraviglia da vedere! - The carpet of the main prayer hall is the largest ever made in Iran and was designed by a great Iranian designer, measuring more than 5,000 m2, was produced with about 2.3 trillion knots made in two years of work by 1,200-1,300 artisans who used wool from Iran and New Zealand, with a total weight of 35 tons. Three aircraft were used for its transport. It is of a unique beauty! The chandeliers were made with Swarowski crystals by the company and the main one is the largest chandelier in the world inside a mosque and the third largest in the world, with a diameter of 10 meters and a height of 15 meters. The 96 internal marble columns are inlaid with semi-precious stones and mother-of-pearl. Take care of clothing, you will not enter low-cut and little dressed, they are very careful, no shoes of course. High marbles Valuable, sacred places that deserve respect.

Brilliant highlight to Abu Dhabi - This tour was fantastic, Mohamed was so informative, friendly, knowledgable!! We first went to Emirate towers toe the observation deck incredible views all around. We then went to Qasr Al Watan and this certainly did not disappoint, architecture was superb, inside was stunning and mesmerising. Time to look around at our leisure then onto the Mosque but a surprise stop at the Louvre for some pictures and more knowledge. Then some authentic Arabic cuisine before The Mosque, beautiful, peaceful and thought provoking. Such a great value for money tour I would definitely recommend

Shawky! Made this tour worth while - **Abu Dhabi City Tour with Shawky** We had an incredible day exploring Abu Dhabi with our guide, Shawky. He curated a perfect itinerary that allowed us to see the city's highlights while providing insightful commentary throughout the trip. Here's a recap of our adventure: **Saadiyat Island** Our first stop was Saadiyat Island. While we didn't go inside the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Shawky suggested it as a convenient stop for a restroom break. The architecture was stunning even from the outside! **Abu Dhabi Corniche** Next, we visited the Abu Dhabi Corniche, where we enjoyed the beautiful beachfront and stunning ocean views. It was a lovely spot for a relaxing walk. **Etihad Towers** We then headed to Etihad Towers, known for their sleek design and panoramic views. Shawky gave us some background on the area and pointed out key landmarks visible from the towers. **Emirates Palace Hotel** Our visit to the Emirates Palace Hotel was a highlight. Shawky's recommendation to stop here for coffee was spot on. The opulent surroundings and luxurious atmosphere were truly impressive. **Qasr Al Watan** We then explored Qasr Al Watan, the presidential working palace. Shawky provided fascinating insights into the palace's significance and its role in the UAE's governance. The architecture and interiors were breathtaking. **Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque** The final stop was the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Shawky's knowledge of the mosque's history and design enriched our visit. The grandeur and beauty of the mosque left us in awe. **Lunch Break** Although lunch at a food court was optional and not included in the tour, Shawky recommended trying the lamb kebab, his favorite dish. We followed his advice and it did not disappoint! Make sure to prepare screenshots of the menu items you want to try. Overall, Shawky's expertise and friendly demeanor made our Abu Dhabi tour memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!
