Amira is the best tour guide - Amira was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. She knew everything about Dubai and was amazing company. She made sure we went to the best shops and restaurants and introduced to many locals. This tour wouldn’t be as amazing without Amira. When I come back to Dubai I want her as my tour guide again!!!
