Great driver and stops, amazing photos! - Normal is an amazing driver, guide and photographer! Picked up on time from the port and he gave us loads of information on the UAE state and the country. Each stop he parked nearby and was there waiting to pick us up when we were done. We had little photo stops and he was took such amazing and fun shots. Highly recommend this company and ask for Noufal!

Best experience ever in Abu Dhabi - I recently had the pleasure of being picked up from the airport by an outstanding tour guide in Abu Dhabi. Noufal, not only was incredibly friendly and accommodating, but he also demonstrated exceptional skills as a photographer throughout the tour. He showed me all the key highlights of Abu Dhabi, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city. Thank you for the fantastic experience!
