Mohammed Al Suwaidi

Managing Director & Founder, My Abu Dhabi Holidays
Born and raised in Abu Dhabi · Licensed Tour Guide · DCT Abu Dhabi

Local knowledge, built in from day one

Mohammed Al Suwaidi was born and raised in Abu Dhabi, and that fact shapes the business he runs more than any qualification could. As an Emirati tourism professional, he brings strong local knowledge and a deep understanding of the UAE's culture, attractions and hospitality sector, the kind of understanding that only comes from actually growing up in the city visitors are trying to experience for a few days.

As Managing Director of My Abu Dhabi Holidays, Mohammed leads the company's strategy and day to day operations, develops the tourism partnerships that make services like our desert safaris and dhow cruises possible, and works directly on creating authentic, high quality travel experiences for visitors to Abu Dhabi and across the UAE. He is also a licensed tour guide, which means the person setting the standard for every itinerary on this site has personally guided the experiences he's asking his team to deliver.

"My goal is straightforward: build a team that actually knows Abu Dhabi, and use that to give visitors experiences that feel local, not like a script." Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Managing Director

That combination, an Emirati founder with hands-on tour guiding experience, sitting in the Managing Director's seat, is why My Abu Dhabi Holidays is built the way it is: direct relationships with desert operations partners rather than anonymous marketplace listings, honest pricing stated before you pay, and a team that can actually answer a detailed question about Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque or the Liwa dunes because someone at the top has been there.
