1.00Disclaimer... I'm not a Karen or someone that likes to write bad reviews so this is not my usual MO. Our actual tour guide on the bus was very nice and compassionate to our situation. The operator of the tour was not. Very unpleasant day.... After being picked up 2 hours late (they said the driver had a possible accident in the morining) the operator Faizan Mirza kept saying he would be getting back to us with a new driver.. I had to call every 1/2 at least to get updates while he said he's working on it. I let him know we had dinner reservations for the evening at 6PM so asked if this would be an issue and he assured me that we'd be back in plenty of time. (probably so they could get their money from us) When a driver did show up, the ride to the another shuttle was hot and stuffy with little to no AC. We were dropped off to another driver which took us to another shuttle until we got on the final bus. The "Ferrari world photo stop" was nothing more than letting other people stop and get off and back on the road... Some of the "highlights were very misleading I belive especially the driveby photo oppurtunities which were miles away from the "driveby" The 2nd to last stop was the mosque which on our "5-7 hour trip" started at 5:45 pm which was already at 6 hours into our trip. So much for out dinner reservations. We were going to prepay for another excursion for the night, so I'm glad we chose not to do that bc we would have been out the money for it. It was nice to get past the crowds in lines in the mosque since we were on a tour. I called him back a couple of times about us missing our dinner reservations and all he could do is say cancel them. The only bright part of this situation was after expressing our dissappointment several times and not giving us an answer I asked if I should call the CC company to dispute the charges and he said finish the tour. After that he sent a couple messages and finally agreed to send a car to the last destination to pick us up and we skipped the temple tour. After skipping the last stop which was supposed to last 1 hour, we started back to Dubai.. We arrived at 8:30 PM which was 11 and 1/2 hours later than when we were supposed to start. If we took the last tour it would have been 12 1/2 to 13 hours of our day when we were prepared for a 5-7 hr day as which was stated. Tired, hungry and upset when we were dropped off. BAD DAY.
Wonderful

3.00The mosque and Ferrari world were impressive. The overall trip was too long and the van was uncomfortable. The driver/guide however, was very good
