Went to the Mosque first, it was a real breathtaking view. I was given a robe to cover myself and my hair and my husband was given a long sleeved top to cover tattoos. We toured the mosque stopping to take many pictures. It really is stunning - Instagram pictures as my son said! We then went on to The Louvre Museum. Again, a beautiful building and some amazing artifacts inside. If you are in Abu Dhabi these are a must see. Great day out. One visitor complained a young girl was making too much noise with her shoes - ridiculous and made the father very uncomfortable. So much so he carried his daughter. Quite unnecessary. If he wanted silence to appreciate the art - wait until others have moved on - don't make others uncomfortable for your own pleasure.

Communication prior to our meeting in the lobby of our hotel was good. Arrangements were clear and Houda was punctual with her brother as our driver. (His driving was cautious and gentle in a very clean and comfortable vehicle.) Houda is very affable and pleasant, talkative and engaging. We arrived a bit too early so we’re given an impromptu tour of Sports City, which pleased us and our teenage children. Once at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, it was clear that Houda and her brother had done this before. They walked ahead and acted as our liaison with all of the Mosque staff, transitioning us quickly and efficiently through security. Houda is knowledgeable about most aspects of the Mosque and was able to answer almost all of our questions completely, always encouraging us and the kids to ask any questions we had. The location itself is breathtaking and I strongly encourage anyone who has an appreciation for art and architecture or who has an interest in learning about different cultures and religious history and backgrounds take this tour. I won’t describe the things we were privileged to see, as a simple internet search will yield plenty of photos, but suffice to say the place is spectacular. The walking tour is mostly indoors in comfortable, air conditioned spaces, but there is a bit of outside time, so if you’re sensitive to heat, go in the morning, take water and sunscreen, or be sure to visit during the more comfortable months of October through March. Though self-guided tours are allowed (we did that last year by ourselves), I highly recommend a guided tour, as staff and security on site are not allowed to answer questions or act as tour guides. It was great during our second visit to have such a pleasant and knowledgeable guide to whom we could speak and direct our questions. I don’t know how many languages she speaks, but Houda’s Arabic-accented English was very easy to understand and she was a delight to be around.

Unfortunately our itinerary was changed due to situations . Whilst having cruised on the ship before we were a little disappointed at how tired the ship appeared in the cabins and bathroom. Staff were very obliging in the restaurants, bars and cabins But the organisation at the pier was something to be desired , also when we docked in some locations we were asked to pay for shuttle buses which did not seem fair .

We were looking forward to our trip to Dubai for months. However, my husband tried to call, text and email to confirm and no one responded. We got to Dubai and asked the concierge to contact SAL Holidays and was told they never responded to him also. We went through Viator and they also had trouble contacting them but said to see if they show up the next morning. We got up early and waited and no show. How can they be in company? They are incompetent and wasted hours of our trip. Thankfully there are a million other good companies to trust. Don't waste your time on these guys!
