5.00We had a great tour with Ansar. We booked really last minute (our flight was a few hours out from landing) and had an 8hr layover. We spoke with Ansar about the places we were keen to see and he got us round them all with interesting info the whole way along. We highly recommend him!
Good experience. Thank you CP!

Great Way to Spend a Layover in Abu Dhabi

5.00We had a 9-hour layover in Abu Dhabi and wanted to make the most of it, so we booked a quick city tour. Ayoob messaged us as soon as we landed and met us right on time, which made everything super easy. We only had about 4 hours for the tour, so there wasn’t a lot of time to stop at multiple places. We spent a good chunk of it at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which was absolutely stunning. After that, Ayoob drove us around to see some of the main sights, including the downtown area. He was really friendly and shared some cool bits of history about Abu Dhabi and the UAE while we chatted. It was a relaxed and informative ride, and we appreciated how easygoing and professional he was. Overall, it was a great way to see a bit of the city during a short layover. We’re hoping to come back someday and spend more time—especially to check out the Louvre! Would definitely recommend Ayoob if you're passing through and want to explore a little.
