He answered every question thoughtfully and even went above and beyond, recommending hidden gems and local favorites.

Perfect introduction to the street markets - I was in Dubai for a business trip and had some free time to explore. I wanted to see the street markets but was concerned about how aggressive the vendors tend to be. This tour was perfect for me. Just a quick introduction to the old section of Dubai and the Souk market places. The guide was very knowledgeable and assisted several guests in the tour with negotiating a good price on purchases.

Great tour through Dubai’s old town! - The tour through the old town of Dubai was really interesting and informative. Our tour guide Muhammad was really friendly, reliable and could answer all the questions we had. He even offered kindly to take pictures of us and seemed to have a lot of fun with it, which I have never experienced with a tour guide before. I would definitely recommend it since we learned a lot about the culture, the customs and the life in Dubai!
