The perfect intro to Dubai - Having arrived the night before, this was the perfect way to start a few days away in Dubai. It takes in a great mix of the old and the new and gives a superb introduction to the history, the culture, the architecture and the rapid development of this fantastic and fascinating city. Highligts for me were around the old town, with the creek the souks; and the visit to the Frame. Our tour was expertly led by Iqbal, who not only provided great insgihts and information throughut the day, but also ensured we were supplied with chilled water, a precooled air conditioned car after each venue and coffee and some local food to round off the trip. Would highly recommend this trip to all.

Dubai visit with Ramadan - This is a good comprehensive tour of Dubai. We were a group of 3 women from the Philippines and all first timers to Dubai . It gives a good perspective of the Old city and how it became the modern Dubai. We did this tour on the first day so it gave us a good perspective of this city. Bonus, You get picked up and dropped off. It is also a small group tour which was more Manageable for the guide and more enjoyable for us I specially enjoyed the Blue Mosque tour where we wore the traditional wear of Emirati women . Our guide, Ramadan, was fantastic . Aside from his wealth of information , he was a great photographer. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and kudos to Ramadan , our guide.

Worth the booking! - This tour was FANTASTIC! I had an amazing time going around Dubai while learning about its history. Paolo, my guide, made the tour 10000000 times much more fun and worth the experience. He is very knowledgeable about the history and knows all the greats spots to take you. This tour was well organized and would absolutely recommend to anyone! All in all, I noticed all if my tours were from Oceanair company and they did not disappoint. I HIGHLY recommend this company!

Great experience. - The old Dubai was a fantastic experience, our tour guide Noor was fantastic I have visited Dubai before, but I did not realise how massive the sook was. So it was great to travel on the wooden boat, from one end to another part of the market. The Dubai frame was neither here or there. Not worth the price

Beautiful views - Great experience until pushy and rude salesperson at the end of tour. The frame and the grounds its on were gorgeous. The engineering is unbelievable. The elevator is fast and the views of old and new Dubai were beautiful. Great photo opportunities.
