Good day with khalil our guide The mosque is magnificent and really worth the detour, we are given 1h30 to go around which is enough. The palace is also very beautiful! For the stops at the art gallery and at the Ferrari world, that's not too interesting

Great your with a very friendly and energetic guide. We got Saad as our guide and he was helpful, informative and fun. We had a few stops for photo taking and he always do a quick check on everyone's wellbeing. Would recommend this to anyone visiting!
