Omar was an excellent guide very knowledgeable, we did a lot in the time we had, unfortunately due to the heavy traffic and being Ramadan we did not manage to complete everything on the itinerary, this was nothing to do with Omar he was most accommodating and did his very best. We would certainly recommend Omar as a tour guide.

It’s worth it!

One of the best tours I’ve ever had. Booked at the last minute and Ahmed was so nice and accommodating. Saw all the sites mentioned and more. Ahmed is very knowledgeable about all that Dubai has to offer, and took amazing pictures for me as a solo traveller. 10/10, would recommend to everyone!
