Great service from the front office when I confirmed the trip. My guide Shabeer Parakunath arrived on time at the hotel and was a wealth of knowledge during the day. As I was the only client that day it was like having my private guide! The vehicle was comfortable. As this was my first trip to the UAE I found the itinerary well planned to give a good foundation on the history of the ruling family. I particularly like the trip to the camel market and Jebel Harfeet.
All in all a great trip!

I live in Abu Dhabi and treated visiting friends to the Al Ain Trip. From on time pickup in a lovely vehicle to our return, the trip was informative and entertaining! Our extremely informative guide did a marvelous job describing the area. This tour is a bargain with MUCH to see! We loved the camel race track! Al Jahili Fort with Sir Wilfred Thesinger's incredible pictorial account of crossing the desert with the Bedoin is not to be missed! The buffet lunch was well presented and tasty. (This trip is well suited for anyone who is physically challenged.Lots to see with a minimum amount of walking and stairs.)
This tour will definitely be a part of my visitors "Welcome to the UAE!"

This is a perfect tour, 1-day, lots of stops, where a lot can be seen and experienced. A real sum-up of Al Ain and Emirati culture, history and nature.
The guide, Lateef, was a real pleasure, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The lunch included was superb, at a 4* hotel, great taste, great portions.
This tour and the Emirates Tours & Safari has done a great job.
Highly recommended.

This tour is a nice way to see more than just Abu Dhabi. The tour was great because you get to see so much in a single day. For anyone that wants to learn some history of the region and see spectacular mountain landscapes on the Oman/UAE border this is a very good way to spend a day. Our guide Shiheb was a pleasure to hang out with for the day and he had great information about the region and history.

Although it was very hot, we were still able to enjoy this tour. Our driver was very knowledgeable and helpful and wanted to make sure he met our needs. We visited all the places on the itinerary and when we were tired, he was very obliging, ensuring we got back in the air-conditioned car.

I simply cannot say enough or praise enough the professional service, the tour content or our guide Ken.
From initial email questions through booking, the prompt and courteous service was excellent.
Our guide, Ken arrived on time and gave us everything in our tour we expected and more. His knowledge, conversation and driving was wonderful. We really enjoyed his companionship and his sharing of knowledge of the local culture. Oh and hubby is forever grateful you helped him find a birthday card Ken😉
The tour contents were terrific! Seeing the beauty of the desert sands, the gorgeous homes, Bedouin lifestyle, camel farm and camels on the racetrack all with a super lunch & friendly guide are memories we will forever hold dear.
Thanks to you all for a once in a lifetime experience.

received quick confirmation from Emirates Tour once I booked through Trip Advisor that was a peace of mind as we were on cruise ship
Me. Noushad Bandar was our tour guide and driver for the day. He was on time to pick us up at the cruise terminal. We were the only tree people for that day so it was like a private tour for us. Nice air conditioning Toyota 7seater van which was spacious for three of us.
Noushad Bandar explained history, culture, and daily local life of UAE to us while he drove us to Al Ain. Lunch was a nice buffet at a nice hotel with enough shopping time after we ate.
Noushad Bandar gave us an bonus stop at a desert to take some pictures which was not included in this trip. Also we had a photo opportunity outside of Grand Mosque on our way back to the terminal. Thank you so much Noushad Bandar and Emirates Tour that made our Abu Dhabi UAE experience a very great and special one.
Highly recommended to all.

Reads as an amazing tour - "WITH ENGLISH SPEAKING GUIDE" However on our trip 2 Brits / 2 Australian / and about 14 germans
For a good 90% of the time our guide only spoke german " GREAT FOR THE German's " but what a boring trip- at one stage our guide said " I HAVE NOT FORGOT YOU " good ? but I still don't know german.
however ,we did see all that was mentioned , not in as much detail as I was expecting , for example the hot springs stop was for a toilet break .Perhaps it was the guide, but one of the worst long tour days I have had . -- All the other tours with this company we did was Fantastic

This trip far exceeded our expectations and was a wonderful experience. There was only one other couple in the minibus and so Majid our driver adopted a flexible approach to the itinerary which made it very special. Two particular highlights were seeing a camel race and the drive up to the top of the mountain. Majid was an excellent guide.
Strongly recommend this trip.

My mother and I had an absolutely wonderful trip to Al Ain with our guide Shabeer Parakunath. This would have to be one of the best guided tours that we have ever done. Shabeer was so knowledgeable, friendly, patient and very accommodating for our requests and made this day an unforgettable day. It was like we were being shown around by a friend and we felt so comfortable the way we were being looked after and shown around. Right from the moment we did the booking I knew we were taken care of and everything was so organized and when Shabeer met us, straight away it confirmed what we expected that this was going to be a great tour. I have already recommended the tour, guide and company to several people and this is not the last time we will make a tour with your company. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you so much to Shabeer and Emirates Tour & Safari.

do you pick up at abu dhabi cruise terminal?
hanverschure2017
Leuven, Belgium6 contributions
We stayed in Abu Dhabi and arranged pick-up at our hotel Radisson Blue Yas Island. You can arrange pick-up anywhere. Make sure to give preference to a personal car or small van (2 to 6 people), they are more flexible for your visit to AL AIN. You should take out minimum 6 hours or even a bit more if you drive up the mountain outside Al Aïn with spectacular views. Tour buses usually do not go up, small vans do. While in Abu Dhabi make sure to take a few hours to visit the very unique LOUVRE Abu Dhabi, not far from the cruise terminal. If you want more suggestions feel free to contact us via Trip Advisor; we have been Abu Dhabi a few times. H. Verschure

What type of vehicle is used for the Al Ain day trip please? Is it always a coach?
EmiratesTour
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates17 contributions
Thank you for your interest with our services.
In reference to your inquiry, it really depends on the number of person booked for the day on which vehicle will be used for the tour.
If the bookings will be less than 6 guests then it will be by a standard Toyota Previa 7 seater car, if the bookings will be more than 6 guests then it will be by coach.
Hope that this helps.
Is pick-up and dry drop-off facility provided from Dubai?

Yes, you can get a tour to Al Ain from Dubai - it is an all-day tour. I suggest you look online for a company or check with your hotel. Most hotels have a tour desk that will help you find the right tour for you.
