Al Ain tour Thursday June 6th 2024 HRH UMU - Sadiq was amazing very kind, patient and, respectful. He went of his was to take me to the dunes per my request. He made me try Karak Arab tea with sandwiche made crêpe filled with children and potatoe chips, very delicious. We had lunch at the Rotana because I had reservations there. I'll definitely recommend Sadiq and I will definitely use he's services again. HRH UMU

Historical and Cultural tour - Sadiq was very informative about the culture of UAE. I was surprised to be the only person in the tour (at no extra cost) but at 45°C this is the low season. This meant I had the opportunity to eat local, with locals (and not the other option... hotel food). Sadiq choose a small local restaurant and the food was delicious. Be prepared to eat with your hands. We visited all the proposed sites, of historical interest and I had enough time to take in all of this. A cycle through the oasis was better than walking, too.

Highly recommend tour service - What an excellent visit to Al Ain packed with a busy yet manageable itinerary that immerses you in the history of Abu Dhabi/UAE with additional features like the Camel Market and Jabal Hafeet, the natural marvel that borders the city. Definitely recommend the tour operator who are very professional and polite.

Beyond expectations - From the moment I booked the tour to the start of our adventure, communication with the company was prompt and reassuring. There were places on the itinerary that I never could have visited on my own, and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to explore these sites. It added an extra layer of depth to the experience, making it truly memorable. I must commend our tour guide, Noufal, for his exceptional flexibility, kindness, and knowledge of the history and culture of Al Ain throughout the day. Overall, I recommend the tour for anyone seeking a one-day excursion. I'm already looking forward to my next adventure with them!

One exciting day in AL Ain - I had an exciting day in AL Ain. There was a lot to see, even more than I expected. An interesting insight into Emirates history and traditional way of living. Accompanied by some relaxing time to breath from own work in an green quite oasis. Sadiq was a comfortable driver and pleasant communicator.

Al Ain at it’s best - Sadiq was an excellent driver/guide. It is one and a half hours each way to Al Alain from Abu Dhabi so it was a long day. However, we saw some varied and interesting places which made it worthwhile. The view from the mountain top was great and the old architecture at the fort and palace were most interesting.

Full and thorough day trip - Noufal was an excellent, knowledgeable, and gentle guide through Al Ain. Lots to see (almost too much!), with the camel market being particularly otherworldly (not for the faint of heart). The couple who joined me were unfortunately rather arrogant, but Noufal was a gentleman throughout and he offered me the perfect company.
