Cultural context for your UAE trip - great day with Sidiq - This was a very nice and interesting trip! Organised and conducted perfectly by our driver and guide Sidiq, who was very kind, polite and knowledgeable and shared plenty of background information about the UAE and the sights we visited. And drove us all very safely! In addition, Sidiq is a really good photographer and very kindly took many nice pictures of us all throughout the day, which we really appreciated. The tour provides a great glimpse into the actual country, culture and traditions behind the glitzy high rises of Dubai and Abu Dhabi and really completed our trip. So many nice memories but our shared favourite was a stop at the camel racing track, watching a bunch of camels run a 6 km (!) distance with a robot jockey! A big thank you to Sidiq for making this day so special for us. Highly recommended.

A rich day booked from Abu Dhabi - Excellent organization. Our guide was on time to pick us up.
On the road, he made the detour to show us the training of camels with drone. Amazing time!!!!! visited all the places of visit: Al Ain Oasis, Jahili Fort, Al Ain Palace Museum, the water springs in the mountain that supply the city and a brief passage to the market at our request 10'. Guide who is used to this excursion, excellent driver, listens and open discussions.
Recommended. First TripAdvisor experience with this type of booking.
Booked the night before, poses no problem.
A big thank you

Where UAE started. A bit of history and water freshness - Just back from an interesting trip to Al Ain. Although some experiences were not acessible due to event or temporary closure, good to see more historical buildings and to better understand water management
All this was explained by Noufal, very nice and knowledgeable. He gave a lot of details on Abu Dhabi way of life and history. Comfortable and safe driving. Thank you Noufal for the day

I'll definitely recommend Sadiq and I will definitely use he's services again.

Historical and Cultural tour - Sadiq was very informative about the culture of UAE. I was surprised to be the only person in the tour (at no extra cost) but at 45°C this is the low season. This meant I had the opportunity to eat local, with locals (and not the other option... hotel food). Sadiq choose a small local restaurant and the food was delicious. Be prepared to eat with your hands.
We visited all the proposed sites, of historical interest and I had enough time to take in all of this. A cycle through the oasis was better than walking, too.
