Great Guide - Johny was an amazing guide- as I ended up being the only passenger (up charge added but a great experience overall ) - he added in an exciting additional stop at the camel racetrack; and showed me the border crossing with Oman. So much fun at the Camel Market and strolling thru the oasis. My only criticism which had nothing to do with this great guide is the lunch which was a jam packed big bus tour cafeteria at an unimpressive hotel. If you go as a solo or couple you might be able to skip and go elsewhere. But overall great experience :)

Great day trip. - Great day trip from Abu Dhabi. Interesting to learn about the early years of the UAE and to explore the Al Jahili Fort and the oasis. We loved the drive up Jebel Hafeet and the amazing view of Al Ain

The real UAE in a day!! - I was travelling alone and joined another couple for the day trip to Al Ain. Sadiq was our driver for the day and really looked after the 3 of us. His driving was good and made sure we had plenty of water as it was 44c. The tour itself was really interesting and covered all the bits you would want to see and do in Al Ain with some off the beaten track sights like the Camel market and driving up into the mountains for the views over the city. A long day, but worth the 75 min drive out of Abu Dhabi.

Great Day Trip to Al Ain - Nice trip when you want to explore outside of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The trip can take up to 10 hours, but is definetly worth it. Very good lunch buffet. Sadiq was a good driver and a very friendly guide, giving us enough time at every stop to explore and making us feel comfortable. We enjoyed this trip.

Wonderful trip! - As far as I’m concerned, this is the only day tour to Al Ain that doesn’t charge extra for single travelers. And my guide Sadiq was super helpful and informative! Last but not least, the lunch was at a nice little buffet in a hotel, which was way better than I had expected. Would highly recommend everyone especially solo travelers to book this trip!

Great day - The trip was great. One of the only option is going solo. It is a driver that drops you at each stop to explore on your own which is exactly what I wanted. The lunch buffet was fantastic with many different varieties of food. Overall a great day!

Al Ain key Sites - The City Tour Al Ain from Abu Dhabi offers a glimpse into the area's history, covering key sites. Mr. Noufal is friendly and helpful, but the tour would be perfect with more background on the "why" rather than merely the "what". For historically interested tourists, this would be the difference between very good and perfect for understanding the sites' significance.

Scam through fraudulent credit card charges - This is a scam. I just tried to pay with 2 credit cards because each time your website says credit card not processed and try another card. Luckily I checked because both times I got charged even though your website states “unable to process please verify and re enter the credit card details , or use a different card”. Refund my money!
