What people love about United Arab Emirates Tours for Seniors
- Magical Dubai
On the whole, very good.
- Dubai Escape
The tour was good. Our guides were professional, polite and knowledgeable. However, The Abu Dhabi day seemed rushed. We had to rush through the Mosque, which is hard because there are lines. We had to rush through the lunch at Ferrari world and no chance to explore Ferrari world or the mall attached to it and then off to the museum (for 3 LONG hours). Also, the Atlantis stop was just a photo op... would have been nice to explore Atlantis a little. Overall, the tour was good.
- Best of Dubai Tour - 7 Days
Accommodating operator who is willing to make things right. Overall good experieNce
