Mohammad Iqbal took us on an amazing tour through Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Etihad Towers and Qasr Al Watan. He is very polite, friendly and funny. He shared lots of good info with us about the sights, stories and tips for photographs and much more. He even didn’t mind taking some pictures for me with his phone when my phone died and sent it later to me so that I don’t miss out on having amazing memories ☺️

5 stars are not enough for our experience with our guide Jahan. He deserves 10 stars. He was very knowledgeable about all history and could answer any question and taught us many things we didn't know before. The whole organization was seamless and all times were on schedule. Jahan made the tour very fun and enjoyable. This was our first time booking with OceanAir and now we cannot wait to book another trip with them in the future again. Thank you!!!
Excellent Daily Tour to Abu Dhabi
federico_89a, 09-01-2023
Our guide Jahan was very knowledgable. The pick up was on time. The van used was very clean and comfortable for the trip. We had lunch in a Lebanese restaurant which also offers vegetarian options. The visits to the attractions were really interesting and we had enough time to visit and take pictures. The view from the Towers is definitely worth a visit.
Super tour in Abu Dhabi

Our guide Ziad was great. He provided tons of great information and always kept us ahead of the big groups but made sure we got all the best photos. He even takes photos if you are traveling solo or want to take a photo as a couple. I would absolutely recommend this tour. The Grand Mosque and Palace are breathtaking and a must-see.
