Lucky to check my email. Received email that they are closed the next day ( the day I planned to visit) . I then replied to ask if I can go that day as I already in Abu Dhabi, few minutes later received reply said I can.So I change my itinerary for that day. In the first email it also says I can keep the ticket for future use til 3 mths later instead of talking about refund. Who would visit Abu Dhabi again in such a short period of time ?
Excellent booking process with Pelago - swift confirmation and issuing of QR code tickets straight away . No problem with entry - a very smooth process . Would definitely book with Pelago again .
Went for a late visit at 1630hr to time to watch a 15min laser show which starts at 1830hr. Love the security, bus ferry and guide.services.
Great deal with Pelago for discounted tickets. Qasr Al Watan, Palace in Motion Show Access was amazing. Definitely recommend it
