A one-day trip to Abu Dhabi turned out to be an unforgettable adventure! The city is brimming with remarkable sights that are a must-see at least once in a lifetime. The highlight for us was undoubtedly the breathtaking Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which left us speechless. Although the crowds made the visit a bit longer as everyone stopped for photos, the beauty and serenity of the mosque made it completely worthwhile. Our guide, Mostafa Tones, was exceptional—friendly, well-informed, and shared fascinating insights about the UAE’s culture and history. My 12-year-old son couldn’t stop talking about how much he enjoyed the experience! This trip wasn’t just about visiting iconic landmarks; it was also an enriching exploration of the country’s vibrant heritage. Highly recommended for anyone visiting!

Mageed was an outstanding tour guide and made the group feel like one big family by warmly referring to us as such. Whether joking or not, the atmosphere he created was truly welcoming. His explanations were clear, well-paced—not rushed nor overly slow—and he was always eager to answer questions. We had an enjoyable chat with him about the UAE’s artificial islands, which was fascinating. He brought the tour to life with his knowledge and friendly demeanor. Absolutely 10/10—Mageed deserves a big raise for his exceptional work! - Roland & Veronika
