- Mark ZNovato, CA6 contributionsAbdul Rahman Al Ali was our guide and he was very good, engaging and informative. He kept the Public Cultural tour moving and engaged and his personality was great.
The Mosque is spectacular and quite splendid. The grounds are meticulously managed. I would recommend to everyoneWritten 12 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We managed to ride on all 3 roller coasters, but for formula rossa we waited for 2 hours in line. Too much. The ticket prize is very high and we were suprised that not all things are included. Okay I understand that roof walk is extra, but driving gokard... It is nice that park provide a shuttle bus free of charge from your hotel. The only thing it is that on bus stop you have no idea which kne is the right one, but luckily the driver remembered us. We are thankful to him. Yes I'm not sorry to go here. It is also interesting to see as the park is inside.Written 8 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sughra B1 contributionWe were on a stopover in Dubai but whilst visiting the most visited Sheikh Zayed Mosque our friend also recommended having a drink at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel so we agreed.
It was luxurious throughout with valet parking on arrival and warm welcome by all the staff. It didn’t matter if you were staying there or just having lunch or drinks.
My fruit juice was so cool and refreshing with complimentary bowl of nuts to munch whilst we waited.
Taste of divine luxury.
