What people are saying about Al Ain

Not quite the standard I was expecting.

The guide, though very friendly and polite, did little to enhance the overall success of the tour. At each of the attraction we were just dumped and left to find our own way with no advice on special places or items of particular interest. With limited time at ones disposal some guidance would have very helpful. The lunch was a great disappointment. It turned out to be not the buffet lunch as advertised but an inferior offering in a totally deserted poolside cafe. No apologies either!

Absolutely worth it

Everything was fine here. Nice knowledgeable driver. He took as much time as we needed for a location. The food at the Hilton was also very good. Any time

Had a wonderful day with our tour guide Akbar who took care of everything, provided us with interesting facts and was really friendly and trustworthy.

The tour is well worth seeing, all points were approached, enough time for everything, I can recommend it
