Abu Dhabi Sightseeing Tour: Sheikh Zayed Mosque, Heritage Village & Dates Market

Abu Dhabi

The drive was pleasant, the views were amazing and we took lots of pictures. Abu Dhabi is a quieter compared to Dubai, my favourite was the Louvre museum

Excellent

The tour guide was excellent….Thank you Latef! It was well organized and book again. Thank you so much

Abu Shabi downtown tour and Large Mosque visit

Good explorations of the big mosque as well as orientation of down town Abu Dhabi. Group bus. The guide and drivers were good and informative.

1 yr Anniversary trip

It wasn't my 1st tour, but a first for my husband, so it was special in that way. Tour guide was friendly & I enjoyed the dates market. Didn't see the relevance of the cultural market. A waste of time, in my opinion.

Great tour for Abu Dhabi.

Very good tour for 1/2 day tour of Abu Dhabi. The tour guide (Manualla) was great and helpful. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and informative

What a beautiful Mosque. The driver was great and informative. Shopping was good and there's a lot to see. This is a definite MUST SEE.

Worth every penny

Excellent value for money and experience I had visited the locations 6 years ago but my husband had never been and I wanted him to experience one of my favorite places in the UAE . This tour didn't disappoint tour guide was friendly and informative

The experience in...

The experience in visiting a Mosque for the first time, where the grand view was spectacular. The Mosque is huge, but the architecture was outstanding and breathtaking. The history behind it all, was clearly explained by our knowledgeable tour guide.

Highly recommend

Aslam our guide was very friendly along with our driver. The mosque is a must see. The date market and the other market were a bit touristy. Founder’s Memorial was very impressive.

Excellent Experience

Our guide was wonderful. He even stopped off at a museum and park because we were fascinated by the art. We got to the mosque entry quickly with his help.

Great tour

Great tour ,guide very informative and friendly definitely recommend. Sights were amazing and very interesting.

Tour Guide entertains you well

The tour is compact and has interesting spots. The mosque is a must see in Abu Dhabi. The tour guide Latheef was very good informed. He was in a very good mood and shared many interesting information with us, just a really nice tour guide you love to listen to! The tour is completely in English, no german.

Great way to see the sights!

This tour is a great way to see the sights and get a sense of the city when you have little time. We had a very knowledgable guide who was also attentive and polite.

Abu Dhabi

The places and cultural experience was great including our guide Latheef. I wish we had a little more time for shopping

Good experience

Pick up was smooth. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Bus was comfortable and having good air conditioning. Thank you.

Nice experience!

Had a nice experience on the Half Day Abhu Dhabi tour - would definitely recommend as you get to see quite a few places and you don’t have to worry about getting to each place and admissions to places all Covered. Smooth pick up and drop off back to hotel. Great tour guide.

Awesome half day Abu Dhabi city tour

Great plan of the tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It's a great value for money for a good 4hrs time.

Anu Dhabi Safari and Cultural Tour

Excellent Dune Safari driver was Fantastic explaining info and taking photos he got us great seating and extra pillows for dinner and show Dune driving was Fantastic driver was Brilliant and very safe but Exciting Dinner and Show were great and relaxing after day driving and board surfing dunes We were with a 3 person family from Austria and they were very nice It’s a long day but very worthwhile

Disappointing tour sadly

The tour was ok, we enjoyed the visit to the mosque although it was very rushed.. The heritage village was disappointing it’s not really a village but a made up museum and the “dates market” was just an industrial estate with date shops. We were just sent to one of the stores where we could buy dates… It wasn’t a market as we imagined. I understand this was a half day tour but if was very rushed the whole Time. And I didn’t appreciate the tour lady speaking loudly about not having received any tips halfway through the tour..

Excellent half day tour

This was a a great trip. Recommended. The tour guide was helpful, polite and knowledgeable. The tour of the Mosque was great. The heritage Village was disappointing. The Dates market was a great way to shop for Dates and nuts.

Terrible

first of all the experience with this company was bad, they never picked us up at the meeting place. and they have not refunded my money. is a gotcha.

Fantastic Grand Mosque tour

It was a great tour; we had enough time at the Grand Mosque. Heritage visit was awesome, seeing real Bedouin tents and great view from the beach. We also visited Dates Market, where local buy dates. Tour guide was super friendly, knowledgeable. Sincerely recommend,

Very enjoyable

A Perfect taster to all the wonderful sights .. our guide was very informative the whole way .. very enjoyable

Thoroughly recommend by two New Yorkers

My friend and I booked this for the half day tour and had an amazing time! Our tour guide was multilingual and very informative. We drove past many landmarks and she was able to give us a history on everything we saw. The tour went at a good pace and nothing felt like it was drawn out. I highly recommend to anything who wants to view the Mosque, Heritage Village, and Date Market.

Abu Dhabi mosque

Excellent tour with small group to the mosque. Very informative and looked after us. Trip to date market and heritage museum included. Stopped at other sites for us to take photos and gave us a good understanding of life in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi city tour March 2023

We took this Abu Dhabi sightseeing tour as ship excursion in March 2023 so had few people in our bus. The guide was knowledgeable and professional. We had a pleasant journey to visit the mosque and other attractions. The only issue was the fog in the city at time of tour that we can’t view too far away. We would strongly recommend this tour with Emirates tour to our friends and family when they visit Abu Dhabi.

Amazing

Visiting the Memorial of Sheikh Zayed‼️ And learning all the wonderful things that he did and to this day still thriving for the people of the land.

Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque and half day tour

We had a wonderful tour with Latif. He was a pleasant, lovely, knowledgeable guide. From the cruise ship terminal we walked to the Sheraton hotel, Corniche road. It took just over an hour, was a pleasant walk with the aid of Google maps but in hindsight a taxi would have been easier lol. The Mosque was fantastic and Latif guided us around there expertly. The date market was a nice experience and we bought some gifts to bring home. The bus driver kindly dropped us off at the port terminals at the end of the tour but this obviously cannot be expected, it was just an added bonus for us. A lovely tour and experience for us that I would recommend to others.

Disappointing.

Mosque very beautiful. However, it would have been better to just take a taxi back and forth. The heritage village was of no use, as only cheap items "Made in China" were for sale and the museums did not reveal anything special. The Corniche was no stop - we had to come back on ourselves to make the beautiful photos! Rather, the 3D monument was shown. It is an example of "site would have been better without it" piece of art. Last stop was the "date market" which was far away and very disappointing. We were escorted into one shop at the harbour where we could buy dates. No soukh as we had hoped. All in all, we spent lots of time in the bus. The actual top sights - Royal Palace, Corniche, Observation Desk at 300, we had to visit on our own.

Interesting visit, I recommend

We visited the wonderful mosque, made a tour by bus of important monuments of Abu Dhabi, visited the Heritage village and then the dates market: so many things in a short time! The guide was very nice (Latif).

Excellent introduction to Abu Dhabi!

I had a fantastic morning in Adu Dhabi, during a long flight lay over. I was the only person booked on the tour so had a private tour. I was picked up from a hotel near the airport. We went to the the spectacular Sheikh Zayed Mosque and my guide gave me lots of interesting background information about the architecture. A highlight was also going to the date market and trying lots of different types of dates! I would highly recommend this tour as an easy way to see the best bits of Adu Dhabi, with a kind and knowledgeable guide!

Disappointing

The mosque was the high point of the tour. The dates market was very disapponting and very irrelevant. My friend and I did not like the Heritage village at all. There were lots of germans with us and the guide seemed to have spent more time speaking in German than in English.

Do not book

This was completely disorganized from the get go. Tour says it starts at 9am, driver arrived to our hotel at 9:45am. Then went to mosque and had to wait in the car until the bus arrived. Once the bus was there, we got on and got settled, only to be told we were getting off and going in. Not worth the money, do the mosque on your own and enjoy at your own pace.0

The tour was well...

The tour was well organized and our guide was just amazing. She was so knowledgeable. I learnt a lot about the city and history as well.

Good experience

Other than the little inconvenience of having to take a taxi from the port terminal to the hotel for pickup and return, and that the hotel doorman was not even aware of tour company picking us guests there, we were relieved that they came quite on time. We were taken to all places promised on the itinerary and returned to the hotel on time for us to return to the terminal by taxi again.

We had a great experience...

We had a great experience with a Great guide from Romania, she was very professional and gave us all the necessary explanations.

Abu Dabhi short and sweet

If you have only only 4/5 hours in Abu Dhabi then this is must. It takes you to the best spots and gives you a good ideia of the city. Best value for money.

Raja Abdul of RAH tours was the best.

Raja Abdul was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for. His personality and humor made the day one we will never forget. We felt safe, he explained and gave us a true sightseeing tour. 10 out of 10. Plus he’s a safe driver.

Must include a tour of the Mosque on your trip to Dubai/Abu Dhabi

Enjoyed the tour a lot with the highlight being the visit to the mosque. I think we could have spent another 30 minutes at the mosque, though not sure if there other areas open to the public or not. Enjoyed the date market as well as other sights. Heritage Village was disappointing and felt that it was not needed and would have rather spent more time at the Mosque. Our guide was very good and very accommodating for us to meet our driver to take us back to Dubai since we were not staying in Abu Dhabi

Really friendly and great tour

I booked this tour as a layover between my two flights. Unfortunately I didn’t have my covid test so couldn’t enter the grand mosque but my guide was amazing a arrange for me to be driven round the whole of Abu Dhabi so I was able to learn about the geography, history, culture and try some authentic foods - would definitely recommend

Excellent Experience

This was a great experience. Very well-run, timely and I learned so much in such a short period of time. Our guide, Manuela, was so knowledgeable and friendly.

Excellent

Manuela was a really good tour guide. We hadn’t been to abu dhabi before and she gave us a great overview. She is very knowledgable. Thank you

Great time!

I really enjoyed it. So much information and very rich culture. Architecture is unreal! Great experience!

Visit to Grand Sheikh Zayed Mosquee

This excursion was fantastic I enjoyed everything in this trip! The tour guide explained what would happen on the day. We were picked up exactly on time and taken to the mosque, the dates market and heritage Village. We are returned back to out hotel without delay. The tour guide also gave us information for local private care hiring.

Mind blowing

The driver was amazing really friendly and experienced, driving through the dessert was out of this world, highly recommend

Recommended

Kanhayia was a great guide. He told us everything we were seeing. Very nice and prepared. Highly recommended

Excellent tour

An excellent tour with a great guide - Sadath. A great tour for the Grand Mosque, the the Dates Market and the Heritage Village. It was an extremely hot day but we enjoyed the tour around. We were provided with water and were allowed photo stops whenever we required them. Excellent trip- highly recommend

It's must to do if your planning for trip of Abudahbi 🤗🤗🤗

It was a beautiful experience. Our tour guide was full of information. He was pericse and easy to approach. We will always recommend this tour.

Best tour guide!

This was a great tour. The best part if it was the amazing tour guide Sudan. He was so knowledgeable. I learned so much about the government, art, history,economy, lifestyle and culture of the UAE. He knew where to go and how long to stay in order to avoid the crowds. Also, had a chance to hear about him original home Sir Lanka. Very personable.

A great tour of Abu Dhabi!

Great knowledge provided about Abu Dhabi’s history, religion and culture. Our guide was extremely friendly and did not mind answering the many questions asked. The pace of the day was good and comfortable. I would recommend this tour and we always use Viator when possible they have never disappeared us
