This was a while day excursion from my hotel in Dubai to Abu Dhabi and it was superb from start to finish. There were 6 passengers in a 4x4 type vehicle being driven/guided by Malik. He is an outstanding person who was mindful of his guests with his safe driving, great commentary, plain instructions at each site and for his great humour. He couldn't do enough for each of us and he made the trip immensely special. All the passengers got into the vehicle as strangers but we left as friends. We laughed plenty and with some of us as solo passengers were helped at sites with having our photos taken by each other. The visit of the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi was immense in every way and worth it even if only in Dubai for a couple of days. I've done numerous excursions over the years but can honestly say that everything about this trip made it one of the best I've done.
