Surreal - Wonderful. The chandelier and the carpet are obviously something of a record but the details of the tiles alone, the cleanliness in general, the seriousness of the people who work there, the respect that surrounds you, the majesty of this Mosque is something otherworldly.

Absolutely breathtaking - The beauty, craftmanship & tranquility is absolutely breathtaking. We joined a guided tour led by Sultan Al Mansoori who was charming, knowledgeable and engaging. Wearing a traditional abaya made the experience more authentic & traditional. I loved my visit to this truly magnificent landmark.

A Must! - It is the fourth time I visit this place and it is always worth it. It is the most iconic monument in UAE, symbol of a cultural and religious heritage which defines this wonderful Country. Definitely at the first place of things to visit in AD and UAE.
I wOils recommended to visit it also at night as it is open until 10pm, the atmosphere it is simply magic.

Exciting tours at pleasant prices - Recently returned from UAE (2-8 February). Very happy to take excursions to Al Saqr Travel. Buy sightseeing tours of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Tours were several times cheaper than our hotel operator TEZ TOUR offered us. The tours were satisfied. The guides (Alina and Marina) told fascinating and informative stories. Small groups, which is good, comfortable minibus. The office is next to the Ramada by Wyndham Beach Hotel Ajman.
I would like to express a special thanks to manager Vusal for his kindness, hospitality and assistance to inexperienced tourists :))

Abu Dhabi is so good so beautiful - I took this tour from the same guys i took Dubai City tour. This was a half day, trip worth it. To go inside the mosque meant so much to me. The driver waiting while i tour inside the mosque. The city was so neat and Emirates Palace is so huge and beautiful. A short trip to dates market, where i was given time if i needed to choose from more than a 30 varieties of dates to take back home. I could taste them and yes, I did pack some. The driver takes to Ferrari world too. I did not had plans to ride any ( ticket we have to buy separate and its only for full day Abudhabi tour) so jst had a look from outside. Again we drove thro all the points mentioned in their tour itinerary. It was all good and well organized, on time and professional. I'm very glad and thinking when to visit UAE again.

Guide was nice, tour was a miss - Tour guide was very friendly, booking is a bit misleading; shows only 3 locations which was really all we wanted to do. Instead we had the mosque, palace and ended up skipping Ferrari since we were burnt out.
Added trips that were a surprise to us…some mad max experience which we were not up for, Miraji which is a front of an art gallery just trying to sell you stuff, date shop and of course in the mosque we were directed to the most expensive abayas. Lunch was also a miss brought us to a buffet which was flooded with tourists and the premium suv was a Kia van.
Overall the guide was the absolute highlight but an expensive experience. I’d recommend just doing an Uber or a Careem where you can select exactly where you’d like to go.
