    My husband and I toured Al Ain with Barti on our first day of our visit to Abu Dhabi. It was a terrific day and the first of four days of touring the UAE. When I book a guide I sometimes cross my fingers and hope. This first day with Barti was so good - I relaxed and enjoyed the rest. Thank you, Barti, for making the UAE come alive for us.
