The Dubai city tour was great, we had the privilege of experiencing the tour without any other tourists. Our tour guide Ahmat was very knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell that he really enjoys his job. We got to see so many places that would have taken quite some time to see on our own. Definitely very beneficial to have a guide alongside with you explaining Dubai’s incredible history and traditions. Would do again!

Great day with Ahmed and Jaqoob. We never would have been able to see so much on our own. Having a driver made everything so much easier. They were both extremely friendly, courteous and professional and knew lots about the city. It was a long day, but worth it. We especially loved walking around the Dubai Marina.

Mohammed is an excellent tour guide and photographer. I enjoyed my time with him very much! He is kind, flexible, knowledgeable about the city and the shops. He took his time answering a ton of questions from myself and the rest of the group. I learned so much! I would definitely do this tour again,

חיפשנו סיור עם מדריך מקומי,שיראה לנו את החלק העתיק של העיר ויעשיר עבורנו את החוויה. מוחמד ענה על כל הציפיות, הוא לא הכביד בסיפורי העבר אלא נתן סקירה תמציתית ושיתף אותנו בפרטי מחיי היום יום. טעמנו מאכלים, בקרנו בשוק התבלינים וחצינו את הנהר. היה מעולה!!!! מומלץ ביותר
