Great day trip to Al Ain - Sadiq was a great guide—very informative! I was a solo traveler, and he offered to take me to a local food market since I was raving about how fresh the local fruit is. What a thoughtful stop!! He went out of his to make it a great day. The sites in Al Ain were interesting and worth visiting to see a different side of UAE. The mountains topped off a great day. So beautiful!!

Full day solo tour Abu Dhabi to Al Ain - On 23 January 2026 I did a full day tour to Al Ain. Sadiq was the driver and guide. I had an excellent experience and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Sadiq was a good driver, friendly, courteous and had a good sense of humour too. Throughout the trip he provided useful and helpful information about the sites visited, the city and other relevant matters which added significantly to the experience. I highly recommend this tour with Riyago Tourism and expect you will have a great day, especially if Sadiqparti is your driver/guide. I also wish to complement the manager I made the booking through. I made a booking the day before the tour. The lady I spoke with was courteous and helpful and made the last minute booking straight forward.

Enjoyable tour and professional guide - We had an excellent trip and this is a highly recommended tour. Our guide (and driver), Shijar, did not only drive well but also very informative, helpful, and accommodating to make sure we had a pleasant journey. Shijar picked us up at 8.30 in the morning, the we went to the camel racing tracks, Qasr Al Muweiji Museum, Al Jahili Fort, Al Ain Oasis, and camel market. He then helped us find a lunch place that we wanted. Finally we went to the top of Jabal Hafeet to see the view before finally heading back to Abu Dhabi. We finished the trip at 17.00 and I think Shijar contributed significantly to our pleasant journey.

Learn about the history and culture of the UAE and visit a UNESCO site! - This was such a great tour! Soo glad I did it. It is an all-day tour, and you certainly get what you pay for. My guide was awesome - extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and happy to tailor the tour 'where possible' to my interests. I am very grateful to him - he was knowledgeable, communicative, emotionally intelligent, thoughtful, adaptive ... everything you hope for in a tour guide. Al Ain is a historical monument to the UAE, and I do not believe you will understand the history or culture of the UAE without experiencing this tour. Highly recommend!!

Best tour - We participated in the tour, a total of four people, including myself and my friend's family. Our conductor, Shinoj-san, was the best tour guide. When the camel market visit became unavailable due to the infectious disease situation, he immediately proposed an alternative plan and took us to that location instead. Furthermore, he understood the best photo spots at each destination, which allowed us to take the best, most memorable pictures. I would like to book with him again next time.

THE BEST tour! - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Sadiq was THE BEST host, guide and driver! He has unlimited knowledge of the area, very willing to share it with me. The trip more than met my expectations! And Sadiq was very helpful, accommodating, and just a pleasure to talk to. Just want to mention that I am a solo female traveler and I felt very safe and taken care of. I would recommend this tour, as well as Sadiq, to my family, friends and anyone. If you are in the Abu Dhabi/Al Ain area, you will not be disappointed if you take this tour. Many thanks to Riyago Tourism, and most definitely Sadiq for a wonderful day!

Cultural context for your UAE trip - great day with Sidiq - This was a very nice and interesting trip! Organised and conducted perfectly by our driver and guide Sidiq, who was very kind, polite and knowledgeable and shared plenty of background information about the UAE and the sights we visited. And drove us all very safely! In addition, Sidiq is a really good photographer and very kindly took many nice pictures of us all throughout the day, which we really appreciated. The tour provides a great glimpse into the actual country, culture and traditions behind the glitzy high rises of Dubai and Abu Dhabi and really completed our trip. So many nice memories but our shared favourite was a stop at the camel racing track, watching a bunch of camels run a 6 km (!) distance with a robot jockey! A big thank you to Sidiq for making this day so special for us. Highly recommended.
