Great Guide
We were 1st time visitors to Dubai. We find Oscar travels and Waseem efficient and professional. He texted us the day before the tour to inform us the pickup time which brought us ease and comfort. We were on a private tour which allowed us time flexibility. Waseem also made sure there was no hitches with pickup stops. He was also friendly and flexible. Great guide👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great Day trip
Good conditions on the transportation, waseem was very profesional, will just recommend to go all the way inside the mosque untill guest cross with tickets since as you get to the mall you can get a little lost but other than that very well
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re happy to hear that you had a great experience and appreciated the comfortable transportation and Waseem’s professionalism. We also appreciate your helpful suggestion regarding the mosque entrance — it’s valuable feedback that will help us improve the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you again soon on another tour! Warm regards,

Wonderful tour of Abu Dhabi with our guide Waseem
Excellent tour experience for us enhanced by our affable, polite, pleasant, engaging and informative tour guide and driver WASEEM, who arrived on time (he said he was actually in the vicinity minutes earlier but only drove up in front of our hotel at the agreed designated pickup time) and drove us straight to our first destination - the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque which we toured for more than an hour. Next up we enjoyed touring the magnificent Emirates Palace Mandarin Hotel and the Heritage Village before taking a lunch break at Marina Mall. We next headed to the Abu Dhabi Dates Market (which we specifically looked for as part of the itinerary) where we had a taste and purchase of a variety of date products and to the Abu Dhabi Ferrari World for a brief sightseeing and photo stop on our way back to Dubai. We had a wonderful time with WASEEM as our guide.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 140 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai?
+
Around 49 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best Attractions of Abu Dhabi City Day Trip from Dubai start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
