From the starting of the tour itself the way the tour guides treated us was very friendly. I'm very thankful to Houda, as she was the one who made our trip a memorable one. She almost told us every single thing in the Mosque, what was the story behind it, then she took nice pictures for us as well and her language was also realistic and excellent where we could understand what she was communicating with us . Also the structure of the Mosque is a significant one too since we couldn't see one like this in any other parts I have visited before. One more time, thank you so much for this trip. If my friends are coming, I would definitely suggest this private tour of yours to give them a surprise that they could have ever experienced.Shaikha’s tour of the Grand Mosque exceeded all our expectations.

Shaikha’s tour of the Grand Mosque exceeded all our expectations. She and the driver were extremely punctual, warm, and knowledgeable. As an Emirati, Shaikha provided us with a very authentic and in-depth local perspective on the Grand Mosque, Islam, and life in the UAE. After the Mosque tour, she took us to an Emirati dessert shop and recommended a fantastic restaurant for dinner. Shaikha went above and beyond to showcase Emirati culture and hospitality. This tour was the highlight of our trip, and I highly recommend it to everyone wishing to experience Abu Dhabi like a local.Communication prior to our meeting in the lobby of our hotel was good.

Communication prior to our meeting in the lobby of our hotel was good. Arrangements were clear and Houda was punctual with her brother as our driver. (His driving was cautious and gentle in a very clean and comfortable vehicle.) Houda is very affable and pleasant, talkative and engaging. We arrived a bit too early so we’re given an impromptu tour of Sports City, which pleased us and our teenage children. Once at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, it was clear that Houda and her brother had done this before. They walked ahead and acted as our liaison with all of the Mosque staff, transitioning us quickly and efficiently through security. Houda is knowledgeable about most aspects of the Mosque and was able to answer almost all of our questions completely, always encouraging us and the kids to ask any questions we had. The location itself is breathtaking and I strongly encourage anyone who has an appreciation for art and architecture or who has an interest in learning about different cultures and religious history and backgrounds take this tour. I won’t describe the things we were privileged to see, as a simple internet search will yield plenty of photos, but suffice to say the place is spectacular. The walking tour is mostly indoors in comfortable, air conditioned spaces, but there is a bit of outside time, so if you’re sensitive to heat, go in the morning, take water and sunscreen, or be sure to visit during the more comfortable months of October through March. Though self-guided tours are allowed (we did that last year by ourselves), I highly recommend a guided tour, as staff and security on site are not allowed to answer questions or act as tour guides. It was great during our second visit to have such a pleasant and knowledgeable guide to whom we could speak and direct our questions. I don’t know how many languages she speaks, but Houda’s Arabic-accented English was very easy to understand and she was a delight to be around.What a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the mosque, the Koran, religion, calligraphy, and the UAE. She always asked if we had any questions and if we wanted her to repeat anything. The private driver was very responsible and friendly.

Wonderful experience. Timing for pick up was perfect. We had the best guide you could imagine. Mariam answered all questions that came to our minds, from the history of the land to the culture, religioun and entertained my family through the 20 minutes ride from hotel to Abu-Dhabi. She guided us very well through the mosque, told us everything about the imposant building and always took time to answer questions. I learned alot about Arabic culture that I wouldn't if I took a big group tour. Thanks you Mariam for this wonderful dayA fantastic tour in Grande mosque Abu Dhabi with our tour guide Asma Mohamed!!!We we’re thrilled with what we saw!!!
