I grew up and live in Abu Dhabi. Educated with a Bachelor's degree in Tourism and Cultural Communications.

Reviews
“Abu Dhabi / Dubai”
Eman is highly knowledgeable. I wanted a guide who understood the local culture, history and tradition well. The best part of the journey was the conversation we had. She is passionate about the growth of UAE and allowed me to appreciate the culture much better. She had very good recommendations. Would strongly recommend her for a very authentic and rich experience.
“Memorable! Phenomenal! Loved Every Moment!”
We spent an entire day in Abu Dhabi with Eman. She was gracious, knowledgeable, flexible, warm and a proud representative of her city and country. Just what you would hope for. We not only saw the places we wanted but we had some surprises along the way which would not have ever been possible if it were not for the kindness and spontaneity of Eman. If you ever have a need of a personal guide in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, seek out Eman.
“Global village ”
She’s a very nice person, I enjoy every moment of the tour she gave me. She knows a lot and always answer any questions I had in a respectful, I recommend her a lot .

Visit Authentic Emirati restaurant
The traditional atmosphere, serving authentic Emirati food, and a huge variety of food, make you live a great experience. And sometimes they play traditional music during your meal, and the service is amazing. Absolutely fantastic experience! The tour can be conducted in 3 different ways: (1) morning till afternoon (have breakfast and go around the area) (2) noon till afternoon (have lunch and go around the area) (3) evening (have dinner and go around the area) I am very flexible.
Things to do in Abu Dhabi (Feeling adrenaline)
Nothing gets the adrenaline pumping like riding the world's fastest rollercoaster, Formula Rossa, here at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. Feel the exhilaration as you go from 0 to 240km/h in 4.9 seconds while soaring 52 meters in the air. The whole family will find a ride just for them; everyone can join in the high-octane. The Ferrari-branded theme is home to more than 20 record-breaking attractions, including the highest loop ride, and it all happens underneath the tallest space-frame structure.
