Where UAE started. A bit of history and water freshness - Just back from an interesting trip to Al Ain. Although some experiences were not acessible due to event or temporary closure, good to see more historical buildings and to better understand water management
All this was explained by Noufal, very nice and knowledgeable. He gave a lot of details on Abu Dhabi way of life and history. Comfortable and safe driving. Thank you Noufal for the day

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.

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.

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.
