Too many people and there was no control over the number of accesses to the internal areas For the guardians they should think about having the possibility of renting bicycles and machines with greater availability given the turnout

Enjoyed it take headphones because the audio guide is tiring holding it near your ears a lot of things to see. The gardens are amazing and the other sites are worth seeing take the hop on and off train to see the other three sites.

We really enjoyed this tour . The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure that we saw all the landmarks .

Excellent overview Unfortunately no guide - only a tape Recommended at the beginning of Dubai stay

Delicious food. Kindly staff. Very good experience.
