5Great Tour of Abu Dhabi!
Awesome tour! Dago, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and the culture of Abu Dhabi. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned & comfortable. Overall, a wonderful tour! Highly recommend!
5The perfect introduction to Abu Dhabi
We had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. It was very well organized, covering many of Abu Dhabi’s highlights in a comfortable and enjoyable way. Our guide Ahmed Hussein was absolutely fantastic: kind, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. His explanations were clear and interesting, giving us a great introduction to Abu Dhabi, its culture, history, and traditions. He also shared lots of useful tips and was always attentive to us, making sure that the whole day was pleasant and enjoyable. The tour feels like a short but very effective “full immersion” in Abu Dhabi. A very complete, interesting, and comfortable experience, made even better by our wonderful guide. We would definitely recommend it and would happily come back!
5Half day in Abu Dhabi
This tour by Oceanair Travel is absolutely a must-try activity for visitors who want to discover Abu Dhabi for a half day. If you are lucky, you will see a tour guide named Ahmed Hussein who is not only super nice but also knowledgeable. On top of that, Ahmed is a good photographer, don’t hesitate to ask him to take some photos of you. I really enjoyed this tour by Oceanair Travel.
5Fantastic and great education
Great experience. Definitely worth doing for a trip to Abu Dhabi . Our guide Ahmed certainly knows everything about UAE that you would possibly want to ask. You would not want to miss the Mosque and Palace . Amazing day. Thank you
5Some improvement in service required
The flight (EY206) from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai (starting from Abu Dhabi on 26th May) was delayed due to some snag on catering truck. There were no announcements or other information about the delay, but ground staff was giving us an idea about it. On flight, food, seating and all other amenities were excellent. In one of the seats (21A) the entertainment screen was giving frequent trouble. But otherwise, all facilities were good. We had some trouble getting a glass of water. The crew kept on telling, that we will get it. But actually, we got it only with dinner. Even while serving dinner, the crew was going back and forth quite a lot and that delayed the dinner. Food quality was good. The baggage was tagged properly for fast clearing and loading on this connecting flight and we got it in time - in spite of short layover. One very pleasant surprise was the new Etihad Terminal. It is a much better one as compared to my earlier experience in 2018 or so.
3Friendly staff but room issues and noise disrupted my stay
The staff at Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Abu Dhabi City Centre were friendly and thoughtful. I appreciated the birthday treat and they upgraded me to a suite on my birthday due to issues, which was a kind gesture. However, my original room was grimy and uncomfortable. After a long day out on my birthday, I had to cancel my evening plans to move rooms, which was frustrating. The strong outside wind made sleeping difficult, and earplugs were not provided. On top of that, there aren’t many nearby food options, which made things less convenient. Overall, while the staff were polite and considerate, the hotel needs to improve room cleanliness, noise management, and local amenities for a more seamless stay.

About Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi, the island capital of the United Arab Emirates, pairs a dazzling grand mosque and landmark museums with mangroves, beaches and desert.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, with its white marble domes, floral inlay and vast courtyard, is one of the most beautiful buildings in the region and glows softly after dark. Nearby, Qasr Al Watan opens the grand halls of the presidential palace to visitors, and Qasr Al Hosn, the city's oldest stone building, tells the story of the emirate's beginnings.
