Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Get ready to discover the best that Abu Dhabi has to offer with the help of a local guide. After being picked up at your hotel, you’ll travel by air conditioned private car to the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Along the way, we’ll see a lot of new development happing on the outskirts of Dubai where the government is getting ready for Expo 2020.
Our first stop on your private tour will be Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the main place of worship in the city, which can accommodate up to 42,000 worshippers. This ornate mosque is a piece of art and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Note that since this is a functional place of worship, women will need to be covered head-to-toe with long pants, long sleeves, and a headscarf, and men will have to wear long pants. Visiting the mosque will give you the opportunity to learn about the main religion of the UAE.
Next, we’ll stop to admire those world famous mega skyscrapers and take some photos of the skyline and of the stunning Emirates Palace Hotel.
Feeling peckish yet? There will be an opportunity to stop for lunch ( this will be at your own expense at the marina mall, your guide will be able to give you some food recommendations, depending on what you fancy).
After lunch, we’ll drive to the cultural district of Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island, home to the largest art museum in the Middle East, the Louvre Abu Dhabi. We’ll wander around the exhibits and make a beeline for anything that takes your fancy, this your tour after all.
Before we leave Abu Dhabi we’ll hop over to Yas Island, a natural islet featuring several popular attractions, including Yas Waterwold, Ferrari World and Yas Marina circuit which is home to the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Grand Prix.
We will then drive back to Dubai where we wil drop you off at your accommodation. Before you go, don’t forget to ask your expert local guide for tips on what else to see and do during your stay in the city.
