Experience of a lifetime! - I had an amazing time. As a matter fact, I booked with another company first but the reviews were not that good so I canceled my initial booking once I read the reviews for this trip. Everything was wonderful, the guide, A.Hassan was amazing I was really impressed with his ability to speak multiple languages. He was very considerate of others and Kind. I had a great time in Abu Dhabi! I bought the most beautiful watch while I was there and had the most beautiful pictures. I’m so looking forward to going back to Dubai again and I recommend this company 100%!
