Suqlain is a very nice tour guide and our family had a great day in Dubai old town and took photo of many famous attractions.
We did the Abu Dhabi day trip with Sandy Nat and driver Ranju. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and set off from Dubai to explore Abu Dhabi. We had requested specific stops for our tour which were accommodated by Sandy. So you can make this tour bespoke. Sandy is extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. We started off at the Grand Mosque (and so helpful that Sandy had made all the arrangements so we were able to fast track entry) which was stunning and so beautiful. Sandy shared so much information on the building of the mosque and each area’s significance which made this visit truly memorable. Our next stop was the Emirates Hotel (former palace) and along the drives we were also able to see specific sights that Sandy pointed out (which we were not aware of) - such as the seven buildings that are designed to look like the five fingers of a hand. Next stop was Heritage Village for a self guided tour of the humble beginnings of the first ruler of the UAE. Enroute to lunch we passed a few more sights and also saw the new palace from across the ocean (overlooking a bay). We stopped for lunch at Al Mrzab for truly Emirati cuisine (which is also recommended by the Michelin Guide). The afternoon consisted of a stop at the date market and the Louvre museum. We toured the museum which happened to also house several works of art by renowned artists Money, Manet, and Renoir (without the lines like the French Louvre). The final stops included driving through Ferrari World and the parks on Yas Island. We did not wish to stop here but they can be added to one’s itinerary. The day was packed with activities we chose and we continued to learn about the Emirati culture from Sandy during the drive back to Dubai. Sandy - Thank you for a most wonderful experience and for sharing some of the sights your home has to offer.
We had an absolute wonder of a day in Abu Dhabi! We throughly enjoyed it and were very happy with the itinerary. We saw the mosque, which was magnificent. Our son took a small tour on a camel, which was a lovely treat. We saw lots of other things as well and had a wonderful lunch at the fish market. We were very happy with our guides as we really enjoyed Sandy’s storytelling and an overall happy approach to life. Highly recommend the tour!
Dubai is an amazing city with a lot to see and do. It’s worth taking the effort to see it but how to see it in a short period of time? Suqlain did a great job taking us around. He knows the city well and if one place had long lines, we easily moved on. I appreciated his flexibility
