Felt very safe all thru Tour, Rafiq was so knowledgeable and explained everything clearly.. Note Tour of Burgh Khalifa queuing to lifts is over one hour. Full on 8 hours well worth the money paid. Great Guide.

“An amazing tour of Abi Dhabi with Eman!”
We booked a tour of Abu Dhabi with Eman as we had a long stopover on our way home to Canada from our African safari. Eman was so kind to pick us up at the airport in an air conditioned private car. She drove us around the city pointing out special landmarks and our first stop was Qasr Al Hosn palace. A beautiful building, the palace was also a refuge from the heat of the day as we had arrived in Abu Dhabi in the early afternoon. The architecture and attention to detail in palace was amazing to see and my daughter and I both enjoyed our visit. Next, Eman took us to a perfume market and we were curious to sample the exotic perfumes and oils. We could not believe how crowded the market was with many locals purchasing cart loads of scented items - men and women. Perfumes are a large part of the culture in Abu Dhabi and it was a unique experience to visit the market. Eman drove us to an indoor mall, where we had a wonderful Emirati lunch. Seasoned lamb, chicken and rice with vegetables and then fresh dates and spiced Emirati coffee was on the menu. It was a delicious meal that we both enjoyed! Eman assisted us in buying an abaya so that we could wear it inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Once inside the mosque we were treated to more beautiful architecture! It was getting dark outside and the mosque looked stunning with special lighting and pools of water. We had such a special tour with Eman! Her kindness and wonderful sense of humour made our short time in Abu Dhabi memorable. We highly recommend booking a tour with Eman. Thank you Eman for sharing Abu Dhabi with us!

“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.

Thank you sincerely for your kind and generous review. It was an absolute pleasure having you on the tour, and I'm thrilled to know it surpassed your expectations. Truly look forward to seeing you again on your next visit! Warmest Regards, Rafiq
