      Impressive Gallery

      The wide range of presents at display in the Presidential Gifts gallery testifies an excellent diplomatic tie of UAE with the rest of the world. The tie of friendship between UAE and the world can be best judge looking at the presents.

      Lifetime Memory !

      Qasr Al Watan is a palace that must be seen at least once in a lifetime. The exquisite mosaic and marble designs used inside the palace are a great example of fine workmanship.

      Kamran khan and shahid Abbas were great guide and pilot driver. They were informative throughout he trip. They were very patient and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Abu Dhabi with them. Thanks The only negative feedback is about morning times. some of us had to spend over 2 hrs in picking up all passengers. That was bit waste of time. Wonder if it could be arranged differently.
