From when we where dropped off at the mosqe, we only had 1h:15min, until we gad to return again, not the 2 hours, as the add says. So there where no time for guided tour, we gad to rush trough the mosqe.
It looks beautiful and is truly worth visiting. Down below, there is a small shopping area with various traditional clothing items, Starbucks, food, souvenirs, perfumes and much more. The only recommendation is that woman bring a head covering-whether a scarf, pashmina, or whatever they have from home-or buy one in their own country. If you are already there, choose the most distant shop from any attractions. Especially not at the site itself, because the prices there are completely unreasonable for that occasion. Also women should wear clothing that covers their hands and reaches at least down to the ankles, so be prepared so that they don't try to sell you socks as well.
Was very disappointed with experience. This was not actually a tour, it was a ride to the mosque. We were dropped off at the Grand Mosque with minimal instructions. Driver had a flat transporting us back to our hotel which required assistance from my husband and a friend.
A premium half-day tour is something else I envision than a pure taxi ride. Too little information. Tour with headphones is worth it, info would have been helpful. First free tour from 11am, but way too crowded.
The actual mosque is beautiful but the van was extremely hot and the car ride was over 2 hours. A car ride that long should have great air conditioning when transporting passengers.
I had a good experience overall. Our driver was punctual and really amicable. I would highly recommend having a tour guide who can narrate the history of Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque, while visiting different components of the mosque.
We had an amazing time. fardhu is an amazing tour guide. Funny respectful and an amazing guy. Made the trip fun. Best day in dubai!
This was one of the most disappointing and misleading experiences of our entire trip. We booked this tour specifically because it promised a guided experience of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, as clearly stated in the description. However, there was no guide, no information provided about the mosque, and no instructions about the “complimentary guided tour” that was supposed to be included. We were simply dropped off and left to wander around on our own. To make matters worse, the first vehicle that picked us up had no working air conditioning — in the UAE heat, this was extremely uncomfortable. We were patient and gave the company a chance to make things right, but they did absolutely nothing to fix the situation or acknowledge the failures. Calling this a “tour” is dishonest. It was just a driver (who was nice, to be fair) taking us to the site and back — something any ride-share service could have done for a fraction of the cost. We paid for a full experience, and got none of it. Do yourself a favor: don’t waste your money on this. It’s falsely advertised and completely lacking in value.
Rashid was awesome and gave great insight on Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and The Mosque. The ride was relaxing and cold a/c. The food recommendations were 10/10.
Seeing the grand mosque was beautiful but this was just a taxi ride. Trip took longer then expected because the other couple was not picked up first and we had to double back to pick them up. When we arrived at the Mosque the driver did not have attire ready for the women so we had to purchase at the mosque which cost me 600 AED. And the guide did not walk through with us. So we basically paid for a taxi ride.
