The ULTIMATE One Day Layover in ABU DHABI (plus how to take the bus)

➣ Book the ULTIMATE local experience with Soumia on Airbnb Experiences: l.linklyhq.com...
We're not normally a huge fan of tours and love exploring new cities on our own BUT with just one day to explore Abu Dhabi we thought a city tour with a local would be the best way to experience this stunning desert city.
Our local guide Soumia did not disappoint! It felt less like a tour and more like we were visiting a friend and having the best day in Abu Dhabi together.
We highly recommend taking this City Tour of Abu Dhabi if you have a layover or just a day to explore.

[@saefunnaja]

how about all the bagage? is it still in airplane? or you have to take with you into hotel an tomorrow have to check in again? thanks for the answer guys

[@MaxandJacqueline]

We had to take our baggage with us but we just left it in the car while we toured around 😊 we only had carry on and if we’d had checked baggage it would have stayed in the airplane/airport transfer area! Enjoy your stop-I’ve Abu Dhabi is AMAZING 🤩

Thanks for your reply, you are amazing 👍

@@saefunnaja thank you so much!! 😍

[@derryandriany]

Haiii your video was amazing , btw do you need visa or any approval so you can go out during the layover ? Thanks

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hi Derry and Driany 👋 thank you so much and hope its inspired you for your layover! As Australian and French passport holders we didn't need to apply for a visa but its always best to check for yourself depending what passport you hold 🧡

[@amazingworld3814]

Soumia is good tour guide 👍

[@masarashanti7609]

thanks for your video! I will have 22 hours layover in AUH as well this month. just curious, do u bring ur luggage with you when you do city tour, or is there any locker rooms in the airport?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

I believe there are storage facilities but we didn’t use them. We took our luggage as it was small and could fit in the car 😊

[@masarashanti7609]

@@MaxandJacqueline all right, thanks!

What was the name of the Lebanese restaurant you guys visited? Can’t seem to find it mentioned in the description! Thanks for the video, I’ve been planning a day trip in Abu Dhabi so much appreciated, can’t wait to visit

hello, I am going to have lay over for 19 hours in Abu dhabi, and arrived at 7 pm, does public transport there 24 hours? I plan to not book a hotel, just to look arround the city and came back to the airport, wondering whether i can return directly to the airport using public transport, Thank you

[@MaxandJacqueline]

We couldn’t say sorry, we were there during the day so we didn’t look into that. Sorry we can’t help more

[@arteastics3830]

Amazing video guys!! Please do more as such! Ya'll made me wanna do a layover Abu Dhani now too! Was wondering how can we get Soumia's contact details? Pretty please, God bless ya!

Hi there, if you look in the description you'll find her details

[@jcochoa6588]

Hi! I have a 2 days lay over to AUH from Etihad airways and do i need to get my 45kg checked in baggage? Or just directly go to immigration h Thank you 🙏🏻

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Exciting! We had the funnest layover here 🤗 I’m not sure about your baggage you will need to check with the airline (probably when you check in for your flight). I’d assume you would collect your luggage for such a long layover though 😊

[@LOUBNAELFELS]

So nice and beautiful

Did u say for the bus card they only accept cash? ​@@MaxandJacqueline

[@wongsakornthongseubsai5308]

Nice video, How many you cost for one day trip in Abu Dhabi.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hey 👋 it was about $150 USD for the two of us (roughly I can’t remember the exact cost 😅) it was an amazing day though 🧡

[@favuna290]

Im sure your views will go like a rocket 🚀

[@MaxandJacqueline]

🥰 that would be amazing! But we’re just happy we got to experience the amazing Abu Dhabi even for one day 🧡

[@harryprer]

How hot was it at Abu Dhabi? I am going there in June as well.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Ah it was ok. Wouldn't spend hours outside 😅 but it was tolerable. Have a good trip. Thanks for checking out the video 😍

[@ssaniljainn]

were there any lockers provided at the airport? What were the charges? I am planning to hang out in a 20 hour layover as well. Also, if I seek any guide for doing any dune bashing adventure in the daylight, are there any available at the airport?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

There are but we couldn't find them! Luckily our tour had room in the car for us to store our small suitcases whilst we explored. Not sure about the dune bashing when we were researching we noticed all the tours for that experience went out for sunset (because it's SO HOT during the day) so it wasn't doable for us and we wanted to explore the city anyhow.

[@ssaniljainn]

@@MaxandJacqueline thank you for this info. Apparently, I am coming there on a Friday, a public holiday. So I have to be sure to what to do immediately upon landing at 7 in the morning with a 20 hours of layover

[@ssaniljainn]

@@MaxandJacqueline I personally wanted to try dune bashing first in the morning and then hop on to other places like the mosque (opens at 4 Pm) and the corniche.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

That sounds great! I’d recommend booking online and organising an airport pick up to ensure you can’t fit everything in
