Itinerary
Our first stop will be at the Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful Mosques in the world; able to accommodate an impressive number of over 30,000 worshipers. The exquisite white structure is completely clad in marble, featuring intricate Islamic art and carvings, as well as extensive landscaping.
Photo Stop: Yas Mall is the capital’s ultimate destination for shopping, dining and entertainment right in the heart of Yas Island.
Dates are part of the culture in the UAE. As the date is one of few fruits that can be planted in the area it became a major component of the diet here. The variety of date types can make it fun to taste before choosing which type to buy.
Visit the Heritage village to experience the traditional aspects of the desert way of life, and immerse yourself in the time capsule that brings to life a souk, a mosque and an encampment from pre-modernized Abu Dhabi. You can shop, explore artifacts and watch artisans making pottery, blowing glass and weaving fabric on a loom. After this We stop at Islamic Art Gallery for 20 Minutes
Photo stop: An iconic Abu Dhabi landmark, this beautiful hotel blends Arabian splendour with the latest luxuries to create a magical and memorable experience.

Shafi was an excellent tour guide and being a small group gave us a lot of flexibility. He knew his history of the UAE well and was incredibly helpful. I highly recommended Shafi.
Very exhastive tour of Abu Dhabi, with visits to key touristic points. The transportation mean was timely and efficient.
A really enjoyable experience in Abu Dhabi with Grayline tours and my guide was very helpful and courteous, would recommend it
It was great trip and very well organized by the agency. Suhail is an amazing guide, he shows us the bests spots and shares the culture about the city.
I have a good time with our tour guide, Suhail. He is nice, on time and always helpful. The before pickup contact is nice, I was well-informed and prepared for the next day trip and picked up. 這次的導遊是Suhail, 很謝謝他非常盡責的照顧團體,有把行前說明都解釋得很好,接送也非常準時,中間有行程異動時,他也會盡可能滿足大家的需求。
Im appreciate you're efforts 👌 The tour was great and the driver was very attentive to every detail... Thank you for your kindness and thorough explanation.
Fantastic and excellent. Our Grey Line Driver Mr Suhail was every good and knowledgeable, explained with everything with more patience. Even though it was a hot day we all enjoyed. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was so beautiful. It’s really worth to experience all this beautiful places. We all enjoyed.
Tour guide was amazing and the experience was top tier. Wasn’t sure if we would have been able to do everything but was happy with everything that they provided us. Really liked the dates market tour too
The experience was fantastic: our guide Suhail was really organized and relatable throughout the itinerary, perfect for discovering Abu Dhabi's main attractions in half a day. The Grand Mosque is worthy of note, truly majestic.
Great day out and a great experience! The service was very professional and comforting! We enjoyed every bit of the day we had.
We had a really good day on this half-day tour. The highlight was the visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which was absolutely stunning in both size and detail. The Heritage village was interesting and date market offered a variety of dates and nuts to buy. The tour was well organised from pick-up to drop-off, with comfortable transport and ear phone with different languages to give the tour. It felt unhurried, which made it easy to enjoy the main sights in a short time.
Suhail was a brilliant guide, who took the time to explain each place, and also give us a heads up on what was and wasn't reasonable for prices. The tour was well paced, and the commentary over headphones was a pleasant addition between each stop. Really great tour, for a really fair price. Thank you!
It was a very nice and comprehensive tour. We enjoyed all the stops and got great guidance from Suhail. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Abu Dabhi
First, I start by saying that I had a weird request and they went beyond the Impossible to make that happen - thank you Suhail and team! The tour is Simple and Nice and perfect for visiting everything in One day only. we have learned a lot and we are happy that we have chosen this tour. Suhail, that was with us, was patient and Nice and very good driver!
We had a wonderful half-day tour around Abu Dhabi with Suhail as our driver and guide. He was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Suhail made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip, shared interesting insights about the city and culture, and gave us enough time at each stop to truly enjoy it. Everything was well organized, and we felt very well taken care of. Highly recommended tour and guide – thank you, Suhail, for making our visit to Abu Dhabi so memorable!
The tour operator was kind enough to take me on this tour even though I was the only one on this tour. Thanks for the great tour.
It was a good trip. The guide did his best, and we enjoyed it. It was a hot day. It would be even better if they provided free water for guests.
Kurban Tours organised the best tour and had amazing experience . It was a four day dubai experience , transfer and hotel was all organised properly. The dinner cruise was the highlight and me and my wife really like the tour. Highly recommended
We booked this tour as we had one day in Abu Dhabi. You are mostly on a bus passing by the sites, you do get just enough time at the Mosque to quickly walk through it. You see the Grand Palace from across the water, would have been nice to actually go inside instead of the two tourist shop stops at the date market and especially at the tourist expensive shop that you sell as a visit to a typical home. It was a home they sold all kinds of tourist items in as if they where on display at a home but for 4 x the price of a the souk. A visit to a souk would have been nice as well. The tour ended at the heritage museum which really is a waste of time, the country is only 52 years old and very modern so you can read about the old fishing village in about 10 mutes. If you want to see (from a distance) Abu Dhabi in a day on a bus then purchase this tour.
Had a wonderful day. The Mosque was sensational. Mehboob tour guide spoke very good English and was very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend. Only tip would maybe have been nice to spend half an hour more at mosque. Otherwise was brilliant!!
Picked up at the hotel by English speaking guide, Rizwan. Albeit later than anticipated, 9.45am instead of 8.30am, we were kept informed via WhatsApp message on new updated pick up time. Rizwan was friendly and well articulated in his explanation of our schedule at each of the 6 venues including which ones we were going to for a simple and short photo opportunity. You do get the full 4 hours (ours actually extended to 4 and half hours) from the time we were picked up, doing the tour and returning us to our hotel. Excellent 1 hr 15 minutes at the magnificent Grand Mosque. Dress appropriately or you will end up like a big portion of visitors having to walk to the shops around to purchase appropriate attire. Check the Grand Mosque website and stick to it, religiously. Dont dally with too much photo stops at the start as you will need all of the time you have to see the rest of the mosque, especially the chandeliers. The rest were quick 20+ min stops to the Dates market, Heritage Village which was nice with "replica" of a desert stop complete camel. Yes, singular - one only. Ferrari World was a photo op as was the Palace. Overall, excellent for a quick overview of key spots in Abu Dhabi.
The tour was absolutly well organized! You will be able to visit all important spots in Abu Dhabi within some hours and get a lot of background information. Suhail is the best guide possible. Thank you very much for furfilling wishes for some extra photo stops, support in huggling at dates market and especially the enjoyable time🙏🏼😃
You can have I great taste of Abu Dhabi in a few hours with this tour . Driver very kind and helpful . Thank you
The tour started late than expected and hence we could not complete it as we had onward journey. But the driver Mr. Mahir had been very friendly and helpful.
The Highlight is the mosque. A Long Trip Thru the City - very boring. Not enough facts. little information about the country and people
Was very nice Day.We have fun and there are many interested Thinks to see. The mosche are very betauful.
What a fabulous day out, so much to see and admire. The mosque visit was unbelievable, absolutely beautiful, peaceful and clean. The only bit i didn't like was the '' Art gallery'' visit, i have been on one of those tours before in Dubai..they shut the doors and then its really hard sell to buy a carpet, they are gorgeous but its so expensive, so we knew the score and stayed outside. But well worth the price of the tour..really enjoyed it.
Enjoyable and well organised tour showing the highlights of Abu Dhabi. The Mosque was stunning, we would have preferred a little more time at the Heritage Village and less time at Ferrari World only negative Informative commentary on the coach. Pick up on time at Cruise port Good tour great value for money
the guide was nice and flexible and showed us great places, the audio guide in german gave us an overview about all seen places
Yes, there was a guide, but he just managed the stops. Yes, there was audio guide, but not much opportunity to ask the guide about the city.
Explained that I had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts via slow email with a bad connection and was met with a stone wall of we can't help you credit, you or nothing I'm sure they didn't even come or anything no real help and didn't even see a thing. Not even a reschedule so this was a bad experience...
Most of the time spent was at the grand mosque which was the top of our criteria list, so I was pleased about that. There were a few other attractions listed where we didn't actually get to spend as much time as we'd like, but was merely a "photo stop". - Heritage Village is definitely worth visiting, but not much time was spent there because the tour guide took us to a carpet gallery instead (of course hoping we would buy something) - but this part wasn't even on the agenda! - Emirates palace you don't actually get to visit or even stop outside. The tour bus drives past on the other side of town, so you only get to see this from a distance. Tour guide doesn't actually introduce any of the attractions. Everything was through the audio guide on the headphones during the bus ride to and from each destination. Overall, the tour was okay. For the price you pay, the money is well spent for the number of places you get to visit.
The trip was great right from the time we boarded it. It started with a welcome kit that had an earphones which can be connected with an audio connection. All the content related to all the sites was available on it . Also the tour guide Ashfaq was very knowledgeable and congenial to everyone. Overall a great trip made memorable by the tour guide and the driver. Kudos to the good work.
Great tour! And the guide, Ashfaq, was very helpful. The grand mosque is very beautiful and the Louvre us a must see.
It was a great experience with Grayline tours and travels..they were very organised about the plan to cover all the landmarks in time. The guide Mr. ASHFAQUE was very friendly and helpful and even took extra efforts to make our journey memorable one..we are thankful and recommend it to every family who wants to plan a tour in uae....see you soon!
We really enjoyed all activities organised by this tour operator. We got to do all the activities mentionned in our package. The guides and drivers are really nice to everyone. The guide ashfaq makes sure everyone on the trip is comfortable and pleased. I recommend this tour operator!
We did this instead of hop on hop off bus, thinking we were getting a guided tour. Our driver spoke little to no english. Just gave us headphones and drove us to places, dropped us off and gave us time to be back. The information on the headset was sparse and interspersed with Egyptian music. We were taken to a "market", in reality a date shop and expected to purchase dates. We left, then taken to a curio/carpet shop, and when asked if we could buy water, were told yes, yes inside......No!! Taken in and told to look around, then basically herded into a room and told to sit. A lady(chinese not aracic) went into a huge spiel about carpet making. Then put some examples on floir and said which one you want. Again broken english. Luckily my sister in law said no we have to go. The lady said no no he wait. We got up and left. All in all a very bad day. We still did not get water.
We got a quote for hop on hop off bus, which was about £65 per person, then I spotted the city tour for only £22 per person, going to all the same places. This tour was great value for money. There is an audio tour in English, which was fine as driver did not speak very good English
Pick up and return at our hotel - and a tour of the city. - Tour of Sheikh Zayed Al Kabeer Mosque and heritage Village. Good value for money - small group - interesting information from the guide . Worth the trip. An amazing place to see.
Our guide spoke very little English and didn't stop to share any information besides the dated, automated audio guide. I called the day before and the agency told us to be ready at 8am, and so we were. However the driver got at our hotel only at 9am, and waited half an hour for another guests, who didn't even show up! At the mosque, he gave us only 45min which is really not enough to see everything. Besides that, the car was comfortable, the sightseeing is beautiful and the driver dropped us at the Abu Dhabi Mall instead of our hotel at our request.
<p>Excellent trip we had a brilliant guide and he taught us a lot about Abu Dhabi the highlight was the visit to the Grand shiayiq Mosque it was so beautiful, but just be warned about your clothing I put on a long skirt to the ankle and a long sleeved blouse, but when the driver arrived at our hotel to pick us up he said I would need to cover my ankles with socks and also wear a shirt or cardigan that was not see through what so ever, so I had to wear my husbands socks and one of his shirts what a silly sight I looked, luckily I had taken a big scarf to cover my head and shoulders.</p>
<p>The tour wasnt worth the time or money. Being a Friday the itinerary was different than other days and very limited, Grand Mosque was beautiful and i am glad i visited. Tour leader was just average. Best thing about the afternoon was the air con in the mini bus. Either choose another day or dont bother with this trip. Unfortunately we had limited time in Aby Dhabi</p>
<p>Really good tour. Our guide was great and offered us an alternative place of interest when one of the sites was closed for a public holiday. Also took us to the date markets on the way back to our hotel.</p>
<p>Viator clearly doesn't vet the tour companies, at least in Abu Dhabi. Our guide was an hour late, looked like a homeless person wandering into our hotel lobby, had an unmarked van, wore clothes that were not professional, didn't know much about the history of Abu Dhabi, and sat in the front passenger seat and talked to the window the entire time which made it difficult for the two of us in the back to hear. He and the driver were nice pleasant fellows, but did not meet the quality standards that one might expect from a Viator tour. Two stars because they were nice guys, but really should not be in the tour business.</p>
<p>This was excellent value ... we got it for half price! We had expected a tour bus but we had an individual guide and driver. We saw all major sites, the mosque being the most memorable.We highly recommend this tour to get a great overview of the city. It was the only way to travel in heat of 45 degrees! Information was delivered to our hotel the day before with clear instructions about what attire was accepted for the mosque. The guide also checked our attire before leaving.</p>
We had a great day with our driver Umair Shah. He explained everything in detail to us about the individual sights. Also the time we visited the mosque etc. was still quite empty of crowds. All in all, we can highly recommend Umair Shah to spend a great stopover day in Abu Dhabi.
Good summary of Abu Dhabi. Guide M. Dubais gave good explanations about life, culture and economy of Abu Dhabi. Instructive. All a bit far apart though.
100% recommend for year the family. The guide is super attentive and helpful, and respectful at all times. Likewise the driver
The tour was great as a first exploration tour of the city. Suhail was super punctual and very friendly. The Great Mosque was particularly impressive.
