Full description

A 3-hour Abu Dhabi experience. Learn from your English-speaking guide about the places.

Emirates Tours & Safari runs it, and 1 thing is covered by the price. It can be cancelled free of charge.

The price covers layover sightseeing tour. It does not cover beverages, so budget for those separately. Two travellers pay $440 together rather than $440 each, because this is priced per party and not per head.
