Lovely tour with Ziad! I was traveling solo so booked a private tour which gave me a ton flexibility, and it came in handy when my PCR results came back late - he even printed my results for me because I couldn't get to a printer. Ziad is super knowledgeable about the Mosque, and about Abu Dhabi in general so you'll get interesting tidbits. I had the perfect amount of time at both places and didn't feel rushed at all. Highly recommend doing this tour if you're not interested in seeing the other tourist spots just for the photo ops.

The tour was great! The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable of the history and current events in the UAE. The tour of the Grand Mosque is outstanding! The tour guide gave very informative information and is well versed in the history of the mosque. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is sort of a disappointment. After you've seen the Louvre in Paris, the Abu Dhabi Louvre is kind of a second rate. The facility is great and unique but the exhibits are second rate. This is not the fault of the tour company.

If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Our tour guide, Shan was absolutely excellent. He was very knowledgeable about Dubai and Abu Dhabi and I asked so many questions! (He picked me up at the stated time as well.)
Shan gave us valuable information throughout the trip about the history of what we were seeing both on the drive and at the sites.
He told us in advance everything we needed to know to have a very nice visit to the Mosque. He pointed out so many details and provided a lot of history.
The Louvre is on your own so that you can enjoy the art at your own pace. But Shan went in with us and ensured that it was easy to start our visit.
Mostly Shan was very kind. He made certain that we were comfortable at all times, took pictures of us at important places and helped two of the passengers with a unique issue.
I highly recommend this tour and Shan if it is at all possible to request him. The Mosque and Louvre are “must sees” if you are in the area. The Mosque is beautiful and the Louvre has a diverse collection of art. Both sites are testaments to incredible architecture and beauty.

This is the tour to take if you want to see these two locations and spend an adequate amount of time at each one. During the drive to Abu Dhabi our guide Elshemy was informative and entertaining about life and customs in Dubai.
The Grand Mosque is a marvel to see and well worth the trip on its own. The walk through the mosque is on a guided path but allows you to see the its most spectacular aspects. The time at the Louvre Abu Dhabi was less structured and allows you to see the exhibits that interest you and to wonder at its architecture.

The two places we visited on the tour, the sheik Zayed mosque and the louvre museum, were both excellent (though the two hours we spent at the latter was nowhere near long enough to do it justice). The guide was fine though not particularly inspiring. With all the people we had to pick up and drop off and the terrible Dubai peak hour traffic we spent more time in the bus than we did at the sites we were visiting. This is hardly the fault of the tour company but it is something to be aware of. The arrangements for letting us know when we would be picked up were also less than ideal. We were happy to eventually receive a text message about the time but not so happy to get a phone call at 10:30 the night before.

I have done a few tours now in UAE, this was one I would recommend. The tour guide Muhammed Latief was a wealth of information and had the perfect balance between giving us what we needed verses being overwhelming, definitely my favorite tour guide so far. The mosque is beautiful, will definitely go again. The louvre also very interesting, I would however suggest a full day there to have enough time to appreciate the museum.

The tour was excellent from beginning to end. Alex helped me book and pay when my checkout froze. She even suggested places to get my PCR test done. Then Ziad kept in constant contact, which minimised waiting time. He was very informative and gave us all the background information we needed to get the most out of our trip to the mosque and museum. We were never rushed and had time to do what we wanted to. Zaid is good natured and a very good host.

Ziad was our guide for the full day tour. Communication before the tour was prompt and clear. Ziad arrived early and waited for us for the pick up. He has a wealth of knowledge and knows just about everything you point your finger at along the way. More importantly he is very courteous and helpful and we had great conversation throughout the entire day. It was just like talking to an old friend. We couldn't have been happier with Ziad as our guide and want to thank him for a very educational and memorable trip.

Excellent excursion! Participated in this excursion with 3 friends in June. Our guide was amazing, he gave great information, took time to assist with taking pictures, accommodating and so pleasant. The mosque is a must see on a trip to Dubai. The museum was ok. Highly recommend.

1. Do you provide pick up service at Dream Inn Apartments

Thanks.

I don’t know about the pick up but you do need a PCR test. It’s cheap and easy to get one. A nurse or the like will come to you.

I'm flying into Abu Dhabi to spend a few days then travelling to Dubai to stay with friends.
Would a pick up from an Abu Dhabi hotel be possible? I'm staying at the Al Maha Arjaan by Rotana and would be looking at the tour on 6 April. I would have one large suitcase (25-30kg). I would be looking for a drop off near The Palm in Dubai at the end of the tour.

Hi, is it mandatory to do a covid pcr test in Dubai before attending the Abudhabi Iouvre/mosque tour? If needed, how many days is this pcr test valid when you would do the tour? You would just need to show negative the test certificate only?
Thanks

Hello!
I would like to book a tour for 2 people on the 13th of February, pick-up from The First Collection at Jumeraih Village Circle. Is Sunday a good day to visit?
Also we will have a PCR test done on the 11th from Italy, it is okay? (we are fully vaccinated).
Thank you for your reply
