Ram and Durgesh, the dynamic duo of tourism! Today was an amazing day and we owe it all to these two! Our drive was smooth and free of any issues and our guide maintained a truly amazing conversation with my family, answering all our many many questions and sharing with us his vast wealth of information about the UAE and its history. They were prompt, courteous, and attentive to our needs in a way you rarely see! 6 out of 5 stars!!!

We took a trip out to Al Ain from Abu Dhabi and whilst it promised to be an enjoyable day, unfortunately there was a sand storm and viewing was very hampered. (Obviously not the tour operator's fault....) A number of places were interesting including the Camel Souk and Jebel Hafeet, the second tallest mountain in the UAE. Pity we couldn't see far enough in to the distance to enjoy the view. The Al Ain Museum and Fort were ok too but a long way to travel when you get a bad weather day.

The guide was excellent but as the tour was taken on Monday, all museums were closed. The tour lasted 6 hours and not advertised 9.

This is an expensive tour and the camel market and the oasis were the highlights. We would have preferred more time at the markets in fact. Could have passed on the archeological site that wasn't.
