What you can expect

The tour guide will always either make or break your experience. Yes, it would be nice to see the attractions, which you will get to see with me, but it would be better when there is a storey to tell. There are too many guides around that have a memorized script that they stick with and repeat like a radio (unfortunately). But what makes this experience unique is me, your host, Ebrahim. I am from Abu Dhabi and I am a proud citizen of the United Arab Emirates. I do not take the responsibility of representing my country lightly. When you are with me, you are a guest, eager to learn about the culture as much as you are eager to see the nice skyscrapers and luxurious hotels. I do this tour in my free time because I have a full-time, well-paying job. Thus it is not about money for me. I rather give you a good experience and not get paid than charge you for a mediocre one. I also do not rush you, which is why the duration of this experience is flexible.

Take this rare opportunity!

Activity itinerary

Wahat Al Karama (Oasis of Dignity)
  • 30m
Wahat Al Karama (Oasis of Dignity) is a memorial dedicated to commemorating those who have lost their lives in service of their country, but that's not all. There are several intriguing facts that only a local of the country would be able to share. Don't miss out!
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center
  • 1h 30m
While the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (the Grand Mosque) is a popular attraction and well known to tourists, my expertise and stories will certainly add a special value to your tour. The Mosque is named after His Highness Sheikh Zayed, but not many explain the man's role in building the nation as I do! (The duration also includes driving time)
Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi (Pass by)
The Emirates Palace is actually a hotel. A lot of tourists go there for how beautiful its architecture is, however, there are 'hidden treasures' that need to be pointed out. Call me Captain Jack! (Duration also includes driving time)
Etihad Towers (Pass by)
The Etihad Towers can be seen from Emirates Palace and it is a great place to take pictures
The Founder's Memorial (Pass by)
This is perhaps the most important yet forgotten attraction in Abu Dhabi. There is a storey to tell behind this memorial. Let me share it with you! (10 minutes)
Abu Dhabi Theatre
  • 15m
We will be just outside this theatre to take some photos as the theatre itself is not open to the public. But rest assured, you get a view of Abu Dhabi that you wouldn't get anywhere else.
Qasr Al Hosn
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The oldest building in Abu Dhabi and the place where the ruling family of the capital first settled. Built in 1795 as a fort, it was transformed into a palace in which the late HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan grew up. ADDED BONUS! We will head to the House of Artisans which is just outside the Palace and inside guests can experience the "Bayt Al Qahwa" which translates to House of Coffee where they will experience Arabic coffee and see how it made live by a local.! On top of that, the 'Artisans' are actually local women who engage in traditional crafts.
The Corniche
  • 30m
Drive by the corniche and stop for photos.
Abu Dhabi Dates Market
  • 20m
At the Dates Market in Abu Dhabi guests will be sampling different types of dates as well as get insight on the importance of this food to the people of the United Arab Emirates. Dates are of significant importance to not only culture and tradition but also in the Islamic faith! Learn more with a Local!
