Don’t waste your time on this tour

Mohammed was friendly but did not give a history or explanation of Dubai, also we were left at the gold souk and nothing was opened. We didn’t get an abra ride or stops at landmark photo opts.

Dubai city tour

Tour guide was thorough covered all included. However, due to speaking fast and accent much was lost when speaking English. He didn’t offer travelers the option of asking a question on the bus en route. Much was covered in the city of Dubai. The old Dubai and Abra was the most interesting interactive part.
