The day started well as we were collected on time, by a very good guide and driver. He described the day to everyone on the coach. We arrived on time at the Grand Mosque, having been there before we knew what to expect, it was a holiday in the UAE so there were additional numbers of visitors, we had over an hour which was ample time. We then went to the Louvre which was about 20 mins away. We arrived and went through the admission process with ease. We had over 2 hours on site which again was more than adequate as a couple of galleries were closed. We were dropped off at our hotel, around 16.00, it was well organised, not rushed and overall good value for money.

The Grand Mosque and Louvre were THE highlight of my trip. So surprised about the beautiful amazing architecture. Both places were breathtaking. The Mosque is a place of beauty and peace. The Louvre a place of history and art. Magical places to visit for sure and not to miss when you are in Abu Dhabi. The driver gave us also a bottle of water, we could buy our lunch at the cafe of the Mosque and the communication before and after the tour was very good too. The driver picked me up at the hotel and all was organized very professional. All in all a great tour I can highly recommend to everybody. Thank you very much!

Very interesting building. The art is so so. Yet if you like architecture it is very worthwhile. Guide and driver were great and all stayed on schedule.

The new Louvre is amazing, and what a great way to see it, and the Grand Mosque from Dubai. Miral was a very pleasant and helpful guide.
