Shakil was a fantastic tour guide! Throughout the entire trip, he entertained us with his stories and maintained a lively atmosphere. He was so helpful and we really appreciated him taking photos of us in the mosque. The tour itself was interesting, especially seeing the beautiful dome with rain of light at the Louvre Museum. Very good organization and enough time to spend at each site.
Great experience! The visits to the Louvre Museum and the mosque were truly worthwhile. The mosque is incredible and the visit to the museum was interesting - did not expect to see works of so many famous artists in Abu Dhabi. Special appreciation to our guide Nasser and the driver for their kindness and assistance in retrieving personal items we left in the car. The booking process was easy, transportation to Abu Dhabi was comfortable, and the tour was great! Highly recommend it!

Interesting Facts
The Dome matches the Eiffel Tower's weight
The giant silver dome, which is the centerpiece of the Louvre Museum Abu Dhabi weighs almost as much as the Eiffel Tower, but appears to be floating atop the Museum. This illusion is achieved through strategically placed hidden pillars within the Museum.
Swarovski chandeliers
There are seven crystal chandeliers in the Grand Mosque, all decorated with 24-carat gold plates and approximately 40 million Swarovski crystal balls. These chandeliers are designed to resemble upturned palm trees, which symbolize prosperity in the UAE.
