About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ekaterinaa6500 contributionsFraudI booked this trip at the evening and next day I had to go. But the company didn’t send me the time when I should be ready and the car didn’t pick me up. Moreover they cancelled my booking and didn’t refund me the money. So, I spent money, time and didn’t get anything. I want to save you, guys, from this situation. So I don’t recommend to book this trip.Written 12 February 2025

- A3231CMaysek0 contributionsPerfect experience with Rah ToursWe went as a family. The guide, Bilal, picked us up at the hotel on time and showed us around the area and gave us information during the drive. He was always friendly and answered all our questions. The organisation went smoothly. We were kindly guided through the day and taken back to the meeting point. All in all we were very happy with Rah Tours and would highly recommend them. Thanks again to Rah Tours for this great memory!Written 28 November 2024
- iangA5589FP0 contributionsA full day tour with fantastic service and knowledgable host. Highly recommended.There were seven of us as family members and we wanted to see the Mosque and Mandir. When we saw the price of this tour, it was more economical than just getting taxis to those two sites and back to our hotel. We were all hugely impressed with this tour. It was a full day and we saw so so much. Our guide Husnain was so knowledgeable and I am glad that I chose to sit up front with him as I learned so much about UAE, Abu Dhabi and how the locals lived. The pick up and drop off to our hotel was done very efficiently and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, or any other services provided by this company, to anyone. Husnain even gave me a cough sweet when he heard me coughing! Next time we are in the UAE, we will be using them without doubt.Written 5 November 2024

- I545LEcoryh0 contributionsAvoid at all costsAfzan was absolutely terrible at his job. He misquoted facts about the UAE while driving dangerously slow on the highway, mostly because he was unable to focus on the road as he stared into the rear view mirror while trying to remember his inaccurate recitation. Once he was done BSing us though, he proceeded to make up the time by driving dangerously fast. We stopped at a gas station on the side of the road for 30 minutes, partly because he neglected to fuel-up in advance and partly because there was someone tagging along with our group that he chose to offload. Afzan then proceeded to continue his attempts to make up time by driving dangerously fast, alternating with driving slowly without watching the road and drifting across lane lines. The Sheikh Zayed Mosque was absolutely amazing, and a welcome reprieve from our incompetent guide, though it would have been easier to enjoy had he answered questions correctly. (“Will I need sunglasses?” was answered with, “No, you will be inside the whole tour,” only to immediately enter a blinding outdoor white marble courtyard for 30 minutes. Thanks for the scorched retinas, Afzan 👍.) Our next destination was labeled an “art museum,” though it was simply a tourist trap souvenir shop with 1’x2’ rugs for $700-mid five figures in a space with a leaky ceiling, mold infested maze designed to separate you from your money more than educate or awe you with local culture. We were able to escape having only lost a bit of time instead of a significant sum of money. We then discussed lunch, for which he assumed that a worldwide fast food chain would be the desired option. When we asked for local, authentic cuisine, the response was, “Oh, do you like spice?!” Excitedly, we replied that some of us do. The location to which he took us had a fine buffet, but no capsaicin in sight. “Oh, local food doesn’t have spice,” was the reply when we inquired about his choice 🤦‍♂️. The rest of the tour had been explained as Heritage village being a tourist targeted open air market, a trip to see the inside of the Emirates Palace, a market with a singular type of fruit, and a drive to the Ferrari World parking lot, where we could, “get out and take pictures, but not go inside.” It was at this point that we chose to cut our losses and see what we could on the drive back to Dubai. We eliminated Heritage Village and the date market, as none of us felt like being accosted at the market nor do any of us have a fetish for dates. We went to the Emirates Palace, in which we had unusually limited access due to a private event which restricted us to the palace entrance. We then drove by Ferrari World on the way back to JBR, choosing not to stop in a parking lot to take pictures of the outside of the building, as it was more convenient to snap a few shots on the drive. At last, it was a quiet and more focused drive on the way back to the hotel, as Afzan had earned his fee for the day and he was no longer compelled to feign competence. Ultimately, we had a “driver” instead of a tour guide, and a poor one at that. The trip was filled with danger, misinformation, and worthless stops to fill the time in order to justify the fees. It’s an absolute shame that this “tour” exists, and worse, that I cannot give less than 1 star. Avoid at all costs.Written 16 June 2024

- MBtrips20190 contributionsWarning: Skip this and just do a half day tour to see the mosque!!Our Driver was very nice, HOWEVER, I would not recommend this tour to anyone. There were 7 of us packed in an SUV/ 4x4 which was not the most comfortable for an hour to and from Abu Dhabi. I should have just booked a half day tour, saw the mosque ( which was our primary goal), and ent back to Dubai to have the rest of the day available to do and see other things. We went to a “museum” and rug shop after the mosque ( no one wanted to buy anything). We also went to heritage village which we could have spent just 15 minutes to see. I was looking forward to going into the palace ( which was supposed to be apart of this tour), but it was closed ! How does the tour operator NOT know that, before collecting our money and taking us on the trip. He tried to take us to the louver museum to spend additional money to buy tickets to enter, which none of us wanted to do. At this point we were tired, disappointed, and just wanted to go home. We asked if we could just get back early, but I think the people at the company advised our driver to keep us out there the whole time. We then went out to Ferrari World where we spent way too much time with nothing to do. We would have just been happy to get back to Dubai early, and maybe even spend some time on the beach or at the pool. We finally left Abu Dhabi ~5:30 in the heart of rush hour and did not get back to my hotel in Dubai until ~7:30!! We could have avoided the traffic if we just would have left When we asked. I had a dinner reservation in Dubai for the evening that I had to cancel because this Abu Dhabi tour was just a way to much. We are only here for a week, so having most of a perfectly good day wasted is not the best use of my vacation time.Written 16 February 2023

If you go to Dubai don't miss the opportunity to take a tour to Abu Dhabi . Since we were with two other friends we shared the cost of private tour so we wouldn't have to waste time collecting other people. Our guide Sudheesh was very skilled in taking the best routes to avoid heavy traffic and did his best to meet our needs since we all are over seventy.
We took our time according to our interests.
Incredible experiences at Great Mosque and the Louvre. Had a drink at Emirates Palace hotel surrounded by their opulent hospitality.
Sudheesh gave us not only all the information about the countries but also lots of suggestions about how to make the best out of it.

We were with a group of 6 in a car was a tight fit but it was doable. Our driver was 1 hour late but he did compensate the time at the end. He did give some commentary but spoke so softly only the one sitting next to him could hear him most of the time. The stops were good and we were happy to have a bit more flexibility because we stopped longer were we wanted and shorter where we were not interested. In the end he even agreed to bring us to a different drop off point. All in all a good day. Just could have been so much greater.
