Very nice tour, captured the essence of Dubai. Thair is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions while introducing the history of Dubai. We really enjoyed visiting the market, thank you
I took this shopping tour with Rahim Khan as my tour guide and Ayaan as my driver. Ayaan navigated the traffic very well even though it seemed to be extra busy on the day I chose. Rahim Khan was very relaxed and let me explore museums and shops at my own pace. He didn’t pressure any purchases or any sort of structure. I was free to do what I want and spend as long as I wanted where I wanted. Rahim Khan was also knowledgeable and went through the interesting history of the country and architecture of the old town. He also started talking a little bit about more minute things that interested me when I expressed a bit of personal interest such as social structure and services in the country that related to my work experience back home. Very chill guys.
We had a good afternoon and evening with Tahir. Tahir showed us some hidden gems and we were able to purchase the goods we were chasing including a ring, earrings and some gifts for people back home. Thanks for a fun experience. Joel & Bec
Tahir was great and very knowledgeable of Old Dubai Gold and spice. Shopping experience was wonderful. Bought a dress . People were very friendly. Also boat ride was a great experience.
Wonderful experience. Abu was so knowledgeable, he bargained for me, and got me the best prices ! He was so patient with me. He even knew the most popular fragrances. Thank you Trip Advisor and THANK YOU ABU!
Very good experience although you should keep in mind that : while they take dollars everywhere in Dubai but only accept NEW bills, not only here exclude small faces. If not excluding big-face ones that are not newer. Only accept issue dollars from 2010 onwards
Our guide, Mr Muhammad, took us on a brilliant tour of the gold and spice areas. He explained the history of the UAE and the souk areas and gave some instructions on the haggling process. A very worthwhile and interesting tour.
Muhammad was awesome! Had wealth of knowledge and helped with bargaining skills. It’s definitely an experience. Purchased great items!
Took this to give us an overview of the Spice and Gold Souks. It did just that. Muhammad Makhtiar was patient and helpful as I just couldn't resist shopping.
This was a last minute tour for us as we really wanted to experience souks but little idea of the best way to do so. We found this tour and I can honestly say it was worth every penny, Tahir was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us and completely exceeded our expectations! We learned how to haggle and he knew the best spot to take us. If you want to experience the souks then this is the trip for you Thank you for such a great time, we really enjoyed it
