My sister and I had an amazing time visiting the mosque! The tour was seamless, once we booked I made sure to reach out regarding PCR test questions and they promptly answered me on WhatsApp. The company also reached out the night before confirming the pick up time and friendly reminders about dress code and what to bring. Zeeshan messaged me 25 minutes before arriving the morning off and was very prompt. The drive to and from the mosque was seamless thanks to our captain, and having Zeeshan as our guide was great. He was very kind and shared lots of information with us on the way and at the mosque, not to mention he kindly helped everyone take photos! I highly suggest booking this tour especially if you’re staying in Dubai, this way there is seamless transportation and the company will take care of booking tickets to visit the mosque. Thank you again Zeeshan!Felix1070
