It is really worth it: food, culture and great guide - It was truly delightful surprising and fun, and I believe a big part of that was due to our exceptional guide, Maaz Khan. Maaz was incredibly attentive, providing us with fascinating cultural and historical references that made the tour quite interesting. He ensured no one missed out on the experience, offering several snacks along the way. Maaz kept a perfect balance between his explanations, food tastings, and allowing us ample time for photos. Moreover, he offered invaluable tips and tricks for navigating the souk and getting to know the city better. Even after the tour concluded, Maaz stayed in the souk to offer any help or support we needed. He generously shared his WhatsApp number for us to use any time during our stay in Dubai

With Sameh on Old Dubai tour - It was very interesting and fun to hear all that facts and informations about Dubai, United Arab Emirates and its history. We saw many nice places and try street food. Driving over Dubai Creek on Abra was a real experience. The guide Sameh is extremely patient, accommodating, organized and we would recommend him to anyone as a guide.
