When you want to feel like a long lost relative. THE BEST experience you could wish for!
I've travelled my fair share around the world (yes, I've only recently started to write reviews, but been travelling for nearly 30 years now). I've been from Singapore to Australia, from Zanzibar to Egypt, from Japan to USA and further crisscross, till everyone's head spins. I've had bad, good and really good, even excellent services. But noone has ever made me tear up and remember a trip so fondly, as Mr Mirza has managed to. From the very first moments, he was nothing but positive and kind, within the first miles of the trip we already had a small insight of history given to us. The rest of the trip just naturally developed into an amazing, insightful journey with lots of information and such attention to detail and to us personally, that we felt positively gobsmacked. If you're looking for a personal touch, for an extra positive feeling, for that little spark that will make you enjoy your trip more - you surely are on the right profile. I will recommend Mr Mirza to everyone I know who will travel to Dubai. May you be eternally blessed, Mr Mirza, you're one of a kind.
Response from the operator: Thank You So Much Mam. It means a lo. I have no words to thank you enough. You are Such Great People with kind hearts. May God Bless You Always. We wish to Continue offering our Services always to the Best. Thanks Again 😇

Good service
Good overview about Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Able to go to places we wanted to. Mum has to have her food on time. He ensured she had her food properly and went through photo points as well.

Enriching and perfect day spent in Abu Dhabi
We had a wonderful tour of all the places we were interested in seeing. Our guide Mirza is a real gem, sharing with us historical facts and significance of the various landmarks along the way. We had our elderly mother with us, and Mirza was very mindful of that when he parked to allow her to easily get in and out of the car.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque cost?
+
Prices start at $225 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 Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque?
+
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 Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Abu Dhabi City Tour with Emirates Palace, Grand Mosque 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.
