Great Day Trip to Al Ain - Nice trip when you want to explore outside of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The trip can take up to 10 hours, but is definetly worth it. Very good lunch buffet. Sadiq was a good driver and a very friendly guide, giving us enough time at every stop to explore and making us feel comfortable. We enjoyed this trip.

Wonderful trip! - As far as I’m concerned, this is the only day tour to Al Ain that doesn’t charge extra for single travelers. And my guide Sadiq was super helpful and informative! Last but not least, the lunch was at a nice little buffet in a hotel, which was way better than I had expected. Would highly recommend everyone especially solo travelers to book this trip!

Great day - The trip was great. One of the only option is going solo. It is a driver that drops you at each stop to explore on your own which is exactly what I wanted. The lunch buffet was fantastic with many different varieties of food. Overall a great day!

Al Ain key Sites - The City Tour Al Ain from Abu Dhabi offers a glimpse into the area's history, covering key sites. Mr. Noufal is friendly and helpful, but the tour would be perfect with more background on the "why" rather than merely the "what". For historically interested tourists, this would be the difference between very good and perfect for understanding the sites' significance.
