Great trip covering important places - Was picked up on time by our guide Mr.Akbar from our stay in Dubai. Visited the Grand mosque, the attire needs to be taken care as they are very strict and check before entering. The queue to entry gets bigger as day goes, but once inside the crowd isn't felt. Qasr al Watan is the Presidential palace, it was lovely. On arrival, they do a baggage and security check and take you to the palace by their vehicle. Louvre museum is so huge, with brilliant architecture and nice exhibits. Outside food, even packed ones not allowed anywhere. They scan the baggage before going in, but we took our water bottle alone. Our guide Akbar was so friendly, rode safely and swiftly and have numerous information on the places and also the way which we traveled. Stopped at our choice of place for lunch. 5-star for his service
