This was a great tour we were picked up promptly with good communication through out . Our guide was Osama he was funny and had a lot of information. It was a hot day we had plenty of cold water the abaya dress supplied was clean and easy to wear. The Mosque was stunningly beautiful a must to see I was worried about the heat in the abaya and scarf but it was not unbearable as you walk through underground section with AC at first. The palace again stunning and opulently beautiful . We went to the top of Etihad towers amazing view. We had a traditional lunch at a local cafe it was good. Osama made the long drive fun about 90 minutes pointing out interesting things informing us of the culture. We had a great day thank you.
