Excellent day with Shakeer! We combined a tour of Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the desert tour on an 11 hour stop over. We easily covered the mosque and the desert tour in that amount of time with room to spare. Communication with the guides was excellent and pickup worked very well despite our flight being delayed. Strongly recommend doing this if you have a stopover.

the tour usually takes you to a camel farm where you’ll get the chance to interact with camels, which are the lifeblood of desert culture. Plus, guide will share fascinating insights into their history, the different breeds, and how they are integral to desert life.

A unique and heartwarming part of the tour was the camel farm visit. Getting up close with these shipswich of desert was absolutely wonderful. It felt very authentic and provided a lovely contrast to high octane dune drive.
