We had a private car tour with Akbar. Price was reasonable. Akbar was extremely well informed about the Emirates we passed through, and his English is excellent. He took us (at our request) to an incredible local restaurant where we ate in a private room. We also went to several beaches, to historical sights, experienced incredible mountain views, the mosque from the 1400's, the desert, local markets and shopping opportunities - all done very politely and with a sense of humour. The car was clean and comfortable and ample water was provided. Akbar had thought of everything we might need (for example: a fold-up chair to sit on in the shade while waiting for the other person to explore the Portuguese Fort). It was just amazing how much we were able to see in a day and also how much fun it was!

We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Dubai Marina. We had a full day tour returning around 8pm! We viewed a lot of interesting places, tasted local cuisine and even bought some carpets! The guide was excellent, very patient, and never rushed us.

We had a great tour with Hasan, who met us on time at the terminal. Vehicle was very comfortable. Hasan was very informative and polite and looked after us very well. We enjoyed the long day driving through the desert and mountains. We visited all the sites as per itinerary. We liked the fort and the ancient mosque. We had lunch at a lovely restaurant at one of the beach resorts in Fujairah and the staff there were also very lovely and accommodating. Food was delicious and the view of the Sea of Oman gorgeous. We had a great day and would recommend this tour if you want to get away from the big city.
