Traditional Dubai is a captivating blend of history, culture, and heritage that provides a stark contrast to the modern and cosmopolitan image often associated with this bustling metropolis. Dubai's rich traditional roots are deeply embedded in its history and have played a significant role in shaping the city into what it is today.

About Tour Guide Erika R.

Travel with me, let me guide you.

Welcome to my profile. My name is Erika. I am native Hungarian. I have been working as a guide in different destinations in the past 22 years. The kindness, tolerance, rich culture, safetyness and multiculti community made me relocate here, and I chose Dubai and the UAE as my home more than 10 years ago.

Dubai is offering a lot for everyone. Old, traditional and new, futuristic museums, a playground for shoppers, from street food to high end luxury dining, adventure in the air, water and desert, great beaches for a relaxing day in a busy metropolis. This fast developing city with new projects, new attractions is always welcoming you back.

Are you ready to discover this fascinating city and country? If yes, I say yalla, which means let's go in Arabic.
