  • I was not allowed into the mosque ...

    In your information it says you can borrow something to put on your head in the mosque. That is not true any more. You have to buy it. Cheapest is 50 AED. Clothes above the knee it also says. I had a dress right under my knee and I also put a sari around me. That was not ok. Nothing that is wrapped works. I guess they are afraid you could drop it. I managed to go through security but was then asked to leave. Buying a full length dress is about 250-300 AED for the simpliest little thing.

    On January 30th, 2024, I participated in the Abu Dhabi Sightseeing tour. I was a solo traveller. As scheduled, I was picked up from my hotel prior to my pre-determined pick-up time to minimize the impact of Dubai rush hour traffic. Our guide, Jameel Ahmed, was excellent. He is a very good driver, patient, polite, and has a broad knowledge of UAE as a whole. The Abu Dhabi sightseeing tour also quickly turned into a history lecture which all passengers in the car including myself very much appreciated. I would highly recommend him. Cheers

    Basically the only highlight is the mosque in Abu Dhabi. Driver is very friendly but more a bus driver than tour guide.
