    klyndall, Dec 2017
    A full day to visit Abu Dhabi from Dubai was an interesting experience. Many architecturally different buildings and the most beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was the best highlight of the trip with all the white marble and the intricately inlaid flowers in the columns and the floors. Very enjoyable tour.

    Fantastic mosque, very hot day when we did tour and my wife had to be outfitted all in black coverage, very uncomfortable for her.

    Boris_K, Sep 2017
    Perfect tour guide Gamal, told us lots of interesting information about country and important and interesting places and people. Free water in the bus. I really recommend to take part of this trip. You have to see this places in United Arab Emirates. Be careful !! - in the mosque ladies have to cover all body including ankles, head, neck and arms. Inside you have to walk without shoes - recommend socks.

    Tracy S, Sep 2017
    Diabolical. I was told I was would not be alkowed in a mosque. I was wearing a long kurta but not to my wrist. I saw no point in going. Tour guide was aggressive. Asked if i had a scarf ofc i didn't. I later found out mosque does give scafs and abyas so you can go in. Guide should have known this.
    Response from Host, Mar 2020
    Dear Tracy S, Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about our Abu Dhabi City Tour you have recently joined with us. We regret reading that you were not fully satisfied with our services. The dress code for visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is clearly provided to all guests on all booking channels. As you mentioned your dress was not up to your wrist but this is one of the musts. Our guides are all well trained on advising the guests about the dress code. Please note that the mosque does only provide scarfs/abayas to guests visiting the mosques individually meaning without a DMC like Orient Tours. We would love to see you on one of our tours/safaris soon again. Thank you for choosing ORIENT TOURS and taking the time to review us! Best Regards, Sarah P. Dubke Manager Guest Services ORIENT TOURS LLC

    Thomas A L, Jun 2017
    We had a beautiful day, the Mosque was great. We felt there could have been more information from the guide. Also we found out at lunch time that day that it was Ramadan which meant nothing to us coming from Australia and finding water to drink and something for lunch was a big problem. We appreciate abiding by the rules of the country we visit and do not mind this at all we just would have appreciated being told what these were before starting the tour.

    Ayana_M, Mar 2017
    Absolute must on your visit to Dubai/Abu Dhabi! The tour bus picked us up at our scheduled time and people on our tour were very pleasant. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the cultural background of the people and places that we visited English was very good as well! Be sure to be appropriately dressed Women from head to toes literally, no sandals, sheer material Some people on our tour had to buy burkas that were available in the gift shop, however, that took some time away from the tour. Otherwise, everything was amazing. The Mosque is breathtaking and can only be seen in person to fully understand its beauty! Excellent tour!

    AnaMaria_A, Mar 2017
    Tour guide Reuben was very knowledgeable. The mosque was very ornate and a great site to visit. My only disappointment was that our private tour was replaced by a public tour when several members of my group canceled and we were picked up from our hotel at 6:30 AM instead of 8:00 AM, as indicated in Viator's description of the tour.

    The mosque was beautiful and worth the visit. The other places were not that interesting. Wonderful guide Deyin? that gave a lot of information about the tour and Dubai. He even lent me his sweatshirt when my sleeve was not long enuf to cover my wrists.

    Philip_D, Feb 2017
    I appreciate the ride there with a group; however, we only enjoyed the mosque and museum. He didn't give us an actual tour of the city. That was disappointing. I felt like we didn't get a true Abu Dhabi experience and could've easily took a cab or shuttle there for less.
    Response from Host, Mar 2020
    Dear Shan, Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about our Abu Dhabi City Tour that you have recently joined with us. We apologize for not having fully met your expectations. Kindly note that the excursion was conducted as per the publish tour description with all stops. We are covering all important places/areas during our city tour. As all our tours are lead by one of our experienced, well-trained and licensed tourist guides all our valuable guests receive lots of information about the destination and sites. In our opinion it is worth to pay a bit more rather than taking a taxi or shuttle with which you will only do a self-guided visit. We look forward to having you join one of our safaris/excursions soon again. Thank you for choosing ORIENT TOURS and taking the time to review us! Best Regards, Sarah P. Dubke Manager Guest Services ORIENT TOURS LLC

    Patricia_H, Jan 2017
    This is a great day tour that includes a good overview of the city. We had a great guide and everything was run to schedule. The Grand Mosque is nothing short of spectacular but make sure you have the appropriate clothing so you can go inside.

    Lau_K, Aug 2016
    Grand Monsque is awesome, the other sightseeing places were not interesting and the tour guide did not give enough for lunch. Overall, the trip is average and if you just want to have a look of Grand Monsque.

    Alison S, Jul 2016
    We were picked up promptly. First stop was the mosque which was amazing. We were delayed at the entrance due to other passengers dress. The tour was in English and Spanish but the majority was spoke in Spanish with the tour guide talking to the English people in Spanish at times.

    RussellA_B, Jul 2016
    Unforgettable! A don't miss experience! When entering the mosque make sure you are dressed appropriately...ankles covered, long sleeves, and a scarf covering your head for the ladies. For the men: long pants and long sleeves. A few of the ladies in our group were not dressed appropriately and had to purchase attire at a hefty price. The tour was all day, but worth every penny and minute. My husband and I learned and saw so much of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The coach bus was clean, comfortable and air conditioned.
