Wasn’t quite as we expected!
Ferrari World was closed and we had a short stop of about 20 minutes.
We were adviced to not visit the mall there and to stay with the group. In fact we saw nothing of Ferrari World. The closed entrance was the only thing we saw.
In fact, all the other stops with beautiful scenery were very short to about 5 minutes.
Lunch was okay in an Indian type of restaurant.
Highlight was a visit to a ‘museum’ in Abu Dhabi.
After a short introduction by an so called expert we were given the chance to buy ‘golden, handmade’ carpets for a cheap price of 2000€ and more.
Uhu, yeah right.. In fact the ‘museum’ is a shop to sell useless cheap fake stuff to visitors.
Visit at the mosque I personally didn’t do because we had to buy extra clothes to enter. But this was a personal choice.
The guide on the bus was ultra motivated. Gave a good but a lot, and I mean a lot, info.
Yelling throughout his microphone and nobody was permitted to drink some water on the bus.
Nice with these temperatures ????????
Abu Dhabi was not wat we expected and for me it is overrated.
We did see a lot of buildings over there but the view was troubled in the bus.
Conclusion, no I would not recommend this tour. I feel like we lost a day on our stay here in Dubai.
Before writing this review, the guide Mr Kamal Khan, insisted that we would write down his name.
So Mr Khan, you gave it your best but the tour didn’t give us what we expected.
And please, skip the ‘museum’.
