“Tour of historic area with a fabulous guide”
My wife and I had a long stopover in Dubai and booked a one hour walking tour if the El Fahidi district with Rafiq M. He ended up guiding us for 2 hours and driving us back to the airport and refused to take any additional payment beyond the first hour. His knowledge of Dubais history, his good English and his hospitality was wonderful. We highly recommend him as a guide.
