Great Tour of Abu Dhabi!

★★★★★Tripadvisor review
The perfect introduction to Abu Dhabi
400elisav, August 2026
We had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed every moment of the tour. It was very well organized, covering many of Abu Dhabi’s highlights in a comfortable and enjoyable way. Our guide Ahmed Hussein was absolutely fantastic: kind, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. His explanations were clear and interesting, giving us a great introduction to Abu Dhabi, its culture, history, and traditions. He also shared lots of useful tips and was always attentive to us, making sure that the whole day was pleasant and enjoyable. The tour feels like a short but very effective “full immersion” in Abu Dhabi. A very complete, interesting, and comfortable experience, made even better by our wonderful guide. We would definitely recommend it and would happily come back!

Half day in Abu Dhabi
125duyn, August 2026
This tour by Oceanair Travel is absolutely a must-try activity for visitors who want to discover Abu Dhabi for a half day. If you are lucky, you will see a tour guide named Ahmed Hussein who is not only super nice but also knowledgeable. On top of that, Ahmed is a good photographer, don’t hesitate to ask him to take some photos of you. I really enjoyed this tour by Oceanair Travel.

Fantastic and great education
naomimF8139PR, August 2026
Great experience. Definitely worth doing for a trip to Abu Dhabi . Our guide Ahmed certainly knows everything about UAE that you would possibly want to ask. You would not want to miss the Mosque and Palace . Amazing day. Thank you

Some improvement in service required
Curious12196816677, May 2026
The flight (EY206) from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai (starting from Abu Dhabi on 26th May) was delayed due to some snag on catering truck. There were no announcements or other information about the delay, but ground staff was giving us an idea about it. On flight, food, seating and all other amenities were excellent. In one of the seats (21A) the entertainment screen was giving frequent trouble. But otherwise, all facilities were good. We had some trouble getting a glass of water. The crew kept on telling, that we will get it. But actually, we got it only with dinner. Even while serving dinner, the crew was going back and forth quite a lot and that delayed the dinner. Food quality was good. The baggage was tagged properly for fast clearing and loading on this connecting flight and we got it in time - in spite of short layover. One very pleasant surprise was the new Etihad Terminal. It is a much better one as compared to my earlier experience in 2018 or so.
