⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Day Trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi! – Zar Muhammad - Our visit to the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was made truly memorable thanks to our driver, Zar Muhammad. From the moment he picked us up in Dubai, Zar Muhammad was punctual, professional, and extremely courteous. He drove very safely and made the entire journey smooth and comfortable. His friendly personality and calm attitude made us feel relaxed throughout the day. Zar Muhammad was also very helpful and informative, sharing interesting details about the mosque and the area. He answered all our questions patiently and made sure we had plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. His professionalism and excellent service truly stood out. I highly recommend this tour — and if possible, request Zar Muhammad as your driver. He really makes the experience exceptional!

Great time - We had a lovely trip to the grand mosque. Much easier to book with them vs using public transportation. Khan, our driver made us feel very welcomed and he was also knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend this trip!

Worst experience ever and I’ve travelled to over 20 countries - Pickup was scheduled for 9:00am, but the driver arrived 52 minutes late. He said he had mechanical issues and sent a replacement who did not speak English, even though the tour was advertised as English-speaking. From that point on, there was essentially no guiding at all; no introduction, no explanations, and no commentary about landmarks during the drive. When I contacted the person I booked with after about 1 hour and 30 minutes of silence, I was told we had to “ask questions,” which is not what you expect from a guided tour. After I complained, the guide shared one brief fact and then stayed silent again. Entry to the mosque was also handled poorly. We were told tickets would be arranged in advance, but instead tickets were dealt with after arrival, which made us even later. The guide told us to go in ourselves and we asked him to come in and help us coordinate. Worse, the guide encouraged us to lie to staff and say we were there to pray in order to get entry. We arrived at 11:27am to take pictures and by 11:54am staff quickly realized we were visitors taking photos and we were confronted aggressively, with shouting and threats about getting in trouble and possible detention / jail. The guide did not help or defend us, and the situation felt intimidating and unsafe. Throughout the whole time with the tour guide's replacement he walked excessively ahead of us and did not acknowledge our existence. We did not receive a tour of the mosque. After we were forced to leave, the guide walked far ahead and we lost track of him. We had to contact the original person we booked with to tell him to slow down so we could stay together. The tour guide consistently would yell at us every time we’d message his “boss”.  After a quick food stop, we were driven straight back to Dubai. There was no tour, no communication, and the driving felt excessively fast and unsafe. Overall, this was not a guided tour, just stressful transportation with misleading instructions. I would not recommend this experience. I did have an AMAZING experience on GYG with desert. I do not recommend this booking site or company with my experience. The worst “tour” I have been to in the 20 countries I have visited
