Super leadership - A very interesting and varied tour! The many traditional Arabic drinks and foods such as tea, coffee and various pastries that we were allowed to taste were my highlight. Our guide Hakim explained everything to us great and provided us with a lot of background knowledge about Dubai.

Top travel guide, top tour - We had a great tour of the old districts of Dubai. We owe this to Hakim, the tour guide. He taught us a lot of helpful information about the country and the culture. His German is great, we could listen very easily. In addition, he addressed each one individually. We definitely recommend the tour with him!

My experience - It is a tour that must be done if or if you come to Dubai. Apart from seeing the old part of Dubai, the guide tells you about many interesting things about Dubai life and Arab culture. Our guide was Hossam and a 10. Very friendly and friendly, recommend it

Learned a lot about the UAE with this tour. A must for culture lovers - If you are planning a few days in Dubai, don't miss this opportunity to book a guided tour of old Dubai. Our guide Ramadan with perfect German introduced the culture of this very hospitable country. The tour of the typical markets (souks) was also an experience with him. We subsequently felt safer shopping because we knew better what to pay attention to.

Very good and informative guide! - Hakim designed our tour of the historic district of Bur Dubai very well. He gave us a lot of information about the history of the city, as well as Islam. On the souk he explained the different spices very well and showed us how to distinguish real from fake saffron. Big praise to Hakim!
