## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person | Billed for at least |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| 15–29 people | AED 530 | 17 people |
| 30–59 people | AED 450 | — |
| 60 people | AED 440 | — |

- 15–29: Single bus
- 30–59: Full specification
- 60: Two buses, two guides

A group smaller than a band's "billed for at least" figure is still served, and is invoiced for that many people.
Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 26–29 are billed as 30 people at the rate for 30–59 people; a group of 59 is billed as 60 people at the rate for 60 people.

Payment: 50% advance on signature. 100% cleared 3 working days before the event. Numbers lock 7 days prior.

## Why this is not the retail version

An Abu Dhabi city tour seat sells at **AED 150–250**. It is a mixed tourist group, a guide managing four languages, and a schedule built around a souvenir stop.

This is your team only, on your own bus, with a guide who has read your company profile. The Grand Mosque is pre-registered so you walk in rather than queue. Lunch and dinner are reserved with your dietary list already in the kitchen. And the day is built to end at the Creek at golden hour — because that is when the photographs your HR team will use all year get taken.

**Against our own catalog:** D-01 Capital Culture and M-03 cost the same. They are a genuine choice, not a good-and-cheap pair. D-01 spends the day inside the Louvre with private express tours and stays in Abu Dhabi. M-03 trades the Louvre for a second emirate and ends at the Creek at sunset. Ask one question in the meeting: *does this group want a museum, or does it want a day out?*

## Weather and backup plan

- **Trigger:** Rain, sandstorm, or a forecast above 42°C. Assessed 48 hrs prior and again at 06:30 on the day.

In extreme heat the Corniche stop is dropped and the Qasr Al Watan segment extends; the Al Fahidi walk shortens to the covered souk sections and dinner moves 45 minutes earlier. This is the reason M-03 is the year-round multi-emirate product — the spine of the day is indoors.
