“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.

“Dubai Late night Tour”
I recently booked a late-night city tour in Dubai, and I’m so glad I did! My tour guide, Majid, was a true professional. He made the whole experience unforgettable. The best part? No crowds, no traffic, just an easy, relaxed exploration of the city. Majid was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many insightful details about Dubai’s history and culture. He also took me to the top spots for amazing pictures and showed me the vibrant nightlife, making sure I didn’t miss a thing. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai. Thank you, Majid, for making it so special!
