5.00we arrived in Abu Dhabi airport as stop over in our way to Japan. All ready before departing the flight to Abu Dhabi I reacived by WhatsApp messages from Rafiq tours with indications where we should meet our tour guide and also from Majid the guide himself. he waited just as described near Starbucks and escorted us to the tour vehicle. Abu Dhabi is a true marvel in the Arabian desert, Majid was extremely polite and explained everything on both sides of road with a calm and explicit manner, also answered our deepest questions regarding the local ways of living and administration. there was nothing he didn't knew. as it was Friday we he passed by a small mosque and asked our understanding for a short stop for prayer. the tour take about 5 hours and unfortunately due to an exempted traffic jam we couldn't arrived in time to visit the great Ziad mosque. he was so sorry having to take us for our request back to airport but sent us the mosque quick entrance codes and insisted that we let him know if we got time on way back to complete the tour. I truly appreciate this guy, he was so polite and full of knowledge definitely recommend this company and this guide Majid Al Khairi.

5.00We had a great day in Abu Dhabi. Since our arrival at the airport everything was even better that we expected. Our driver was an excellent guide and we had a great 10 hours experience in the area. Visiting the Mosque early in the morning and continuing in different spots in the city, enjoying a great meal in a local restaurant made our layover in Abu Dhabi a very special day. Thank you Majid!!
