About Tour Guide Pri Z.

I am a true believer in the Rule of Three - I live between Dubai, Mumbai and Washington DC, speak three languages and have 3 kids. I graduated from Connecticut College and have a Masters Degree from New York University. I am a licensed Dubai tour guide, travel blogger, art aficionado, foodie and curious to check out all things new in my city. I was awarded the best guide of Dubai by Dubai Culture Authority in 2022.

In the recent years, I have given private tours to Sheryl Sandberg, NBA Teams, Harvard students, NYU professors and team members from Pfizer and Hilti. I am looking forward to meeting you in Dubai and showing you why I love this city so much!

I am able to provide walking tour, pick up and drop off services with an SUV Car and a driver, city tours, Dubai Tours and Abu Dhabi tours.
