This was an amazing experience! My tour guide Malik took me around the city from 1 am to 5 am during my layover in Dubai. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and showed all the relevant spots of interest. It made the time pass so well. I highly recommend this tour guide and this tour! There is pickup and drop off from the airport which is very helpful! I was by myself and not once I felt unsafe being a woman traveling by herself.
