As soon as we decided to visit UAE, I knew that a visit to Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi would be at the top of my list. I excitedly booked this tour (unfortunately without giving any consideration to double checking the covid quaratine rules). The next day, Nick reached out to me via iMessage and phone. He explained the quarantine rules (10 days in Dubai if not vaccinated or 5 days in Dubai if vaccinated - regardless of PCR test results) and offered to help me reschedule my tour date to accommodate the guidelines. We unfortunately had to cancel this trip due to these guidelines, but I appreciate Nick's professionalism and courtesy to inform me of the rules and help me find a suitable alternative. I hope to return in the future to go on this tour!
