Zeeshan was a wonderful tour guide for our trip to Abu Dhabi

5.00We were blessed to have Zeeshan as our private tour guide to Abu Dhabi. He picked us up at the St. Regis in downtown Dubai right on time in a very comfortable van. He is a very kind man and was a wonderful guide. He educated us along the whole drive about Dubai and AD. We visited the Louvre, Presidential compound, a city overlook and the Grand Mosque. He helped us with wonderful photos and made our entire experience top notch. Highly recommend the tour and most importantly requesting Zee as your guide. Thanks Zee! From Todd and Olyvia.

5.00This tour was fabulous. To go in the Mosque ladies need to be covered, the tour provided an Abaya and I loved it.
Guide speaks Portuguese and places are empty because of the war.

5.00This tour was special because we took the super empty places because of the war. In addition to having an excellent guide named A. Hassan who speaks Portuguese, which helped too much. Besides being an excellent photographer.

5.00My husband and I had a great time on this group tour. Our guide Yusuf is a wealth of information. He was friendly, professional, and informative - everything you could ask for in a guide. He did a good job coordinating and keeping our group all together and on time. Abu Dhabi is simply amazing - we had no idea! My husband and I can't wait to go back again one day in the future and spend more time here - one day is not nearly enough.

5.00Travel from Dubai to Abu Dhabi in a package tour.Scorching hot even the locals say its mild temperature for the weather.Getting to the mosque you need to go thru its own mall which is fascinate me how enormous the place is. A must need to go and see when in Dubai.

5.00I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour with OceanAir Travels in Abu Dhabi, and I can confidently say it was one of the highlights of my trip. The entire experience was impeccably organized, confortable, and truly memorable. What stood out the most was our guide, Aya Hussein, Aya was exceptional in every way. She explained everything with remarkable clarity and depth - covering the history, culture, and key highlights of each stop in a way that was easy to follow and engaging for everyone in the group. Her knowledge was impressive, but what truly made the tour special was her indredibly positive energy and warm personality. Thanks for her enthusiasm and genuine passion for sharing Abu Dhabi´s wonders, the tour felt personal and fun.
