At the last minute we needed to change the start time of the tour by an hour and Shehzad accommodated our schedule. He is extremely polite and very knowledgeable. Although it was extremely hot, he kept us well hydrated and cool in the air conditioned vehicle. He was so good about taking our picture at the various sites.
Farhan was a very friendly and patient guide. We were a noisy bunch and he was very patient with us. We had such a lovely experience.
We had an amazing experience with Farhan in Dubai! From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and stress-free. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, and shared fascinating insights about Dubai’s history, culture, modern landmarks and last but not the least cars!! What stood out most that Farhan was attentive and professional- always making sure we were comfortable and answering questions with a smile. Thanks to this experience, Dubai felt more than just a tourist destination—it felt welcoming. I would highly recommend Farhan and Trip habibi to anyone visiting Dubai and looking for a memorable, well-guided experience. Truly worth it!
I have to say a huge “Thank You!”to Farhan who drove us and shared his time and religious and historical knowledge of the region and Dubai. Dubai is just interesting, I mean, I have a lot more respect for their King/7 kings for what they accomplished in 30ish years. In addition, he’s the real deal, not fake in anyway, and so if you want “real life” and authentic person leading your tour, he’s your guy!
We had a private tour with Farhan today, and it was an excellent experience. He was very friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. We learned a lot during the tour, not only about the main sights but also about local culture and everyday life. Farhan shared many useful tips and insider recommendations that made our stay even better. The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable throughout. We can only highly recommend it!
Good communication from our host Farhan before picking us up and very informative throughout the half day. We had loads of information and the history of Dubai as well as the places we visited. Really enjoyable
We booked this private half day tour through Viator to get an overview of Dubai in an efficient way. Our guide, Haman was very good and we got to see a lot of Dubai in 5 hours. The itinerary we chose included going to the top of Burj Khalifa first thing in the morning, so we avoided the crowds. Viewing the architecture was amazing. We also enjoyed the Abra boat ride in Old Dubai. The overview helped us know what areas to visit again on our own.
Farhan was the tour guide for me and my family through and around Dubai today and we had a blast. His enthusiasm and love for the city made our trip even better than expected. Going above and beyond with in depth stories both about the city and its rich culture. I would definitely recommend to anyone booking the same trip to consider going with Farhan. - Braith
Farhan was a superb guide and historian, He gave me a super overview of beautiful Dubaii - old and new . Would really recommend .
Farhan was a great and knowledgable guide. I stopped in the UAE for a short layover & learned a lot about Dubai in a short period of time. I had some delays with my flight & he waited/was very communicative throughout the process.
