About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 445tiaral0 contributionsA MUST!!!Literally a 10/10 experience!!! By far one of the best experiences I've done across all my travels. The amount of experiences you do for the price is incredible and truly did not disappoint. Anthony E. was our guide and he was truly amazing! If you can request him, please do it! From the moment he picked us up to the moment he dropped us off, he had a smile on his face. He answered all of my questions, always made sure we were well hydrated, music in the car was great, and he took all of our pictures. Literally everything experienced was incredible. Thanks Anthony for being a great guide!Written 14 September 2024

The tour was wonderful and the guide Momen was particularly helpful and knowledgeable.
We ended up having photo stops for the Louvre and Corniche and admission and guidance for the Ethiad towers, Qasr Al Watan and three Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
The only feedback is to put the start time and duration accurately on the advertisement on Viator because it's very misleading to say start time 9.30 and has a duration 5 hours, when it ended up starting after 10am and the duration was about 6.5 hours (or maybe even longer. I left at 3.00pm and the group had only just entered the mosque).
I was under the impression this tour finished at 2.30pm as per the tour description and had another commitment booked for 4pm and therefore had to leave the tour early. This was frustrating but I give the tour 5 stars because Ocean air travels actively sought feedback about this, and was agreeable that the duration listed was misleading and said they will work towards updating this information in the ad. Also the guide was very helpful to assist me in seeing the last part of the tour on my own.
Overall, a great overview of some amazing places.

Our trip to Abu Dhabi was excellent , we were picked up from the QE2 Ship on time by car and transferred to a bus where we met our guide Mufasa and our driver for the day.
Mufasa who was so knowledgeable about his beautiful country always offering to take photos , never felt rushed & gave his time willingly to ensure we had a memorable day.
Would highly recommend.

We took a day trip to Abu Dhabi and Adnan, with Ocean Air Travel, was great. Very knowledgeable with every site and is an excellent photographer too. His partner, Mr. Wasfy, drove us for the day was great also in making sure it was a smooth and safe ride. Would definitely recommend booking the day trip with Ocean Air Travel.

Adnan, our tour guide, was great! He had a great sense of humor but was very knowledgeable with the history and religious customs of Abu Dhabi. Oh, and he pointed out the most amazing photo spots AND took the pic!!! We could not have had a better experience.

Incredible Tour with an Amazing Driver!
We had an unforgettable day tour from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, and Noor, our driver, made the experience even more exceptional! From the moment we were picked up, Noor was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city and its landmarks. His driving was smooth and safe, making us feel comfortable throughout the trip.
Noor went above and beyond, offering insightful details about the Grand Mosque, Royal Palace, and Etihad Towers. He was patient, accommodating, and made sure we had plenty of time to explore and take photos. His warm and friendly personality truly enhanced the experience, making this tour one of the highlights of our trip to Dubai.
Thank you, Noor, for a fantastic day! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the region.

Se comenta que el centro Sheikh Zayed está cerrado los viernes, sábados. Pero veo que se oferta la excursiĂłn en dichos dĂas. No se accede esos dĂas a la Mezquita? De ser el caso, por que otra atracciĂłn se sustituye ese dĂa?

You do drive by it, but you don't really see it. You get to see it from the 300 Observation deck at the Eithad Towers. If you personally want to see it, you might book a tour that specifically goes there or arrange to se it yourself.

I can't answer completely, but there were people with children around the Mosque. As for child seat, the bus I was on would certainly not be suitable for a child seat. I wouldn't know about hiring one either. Best check Mosque and tour operator web sites.
