I went sightseeing in Abu Dhabi from Dubai. The roads were well maintained and the car was comfortable. I highly recommend it. I also enjoyed talking with my driver, Ali Raza. On the way back, I mentioned that I was going to Global Village, and my fellow passengers talked to me and drove me there. I was happy to hear that, and I was grateful for the time saved.
