Old Dubai tour - Great experience with getting a feel for the old city. Had a late start due to traffic but our guide, Omara, kept in communication with us trying to give an accurate timeline to come get us. He was extremely apologetic about the delay. He was super knowledgeable and super flexible with gathering us up at meeting points despite a lot of chaos in the markets. Great time with a great guide!

The Best Way to See The City - We wanted to see the top places and visit the souks during our visit so we chose this tour. However, due to Covid, it was a private tour. This turned out to be wonderful. Our tour guide was the best!! I wish I could remember his name! He took us to all the top places in Dubai, on a boat across the water, helped us negotiate in the spice market and gave us a history lesson on the city of Dubai. We had the best time! At the end, he dropped us off at Dubai Mall. If you want to learn about the city and see what makes it special then this is the tour for you!

Visiting Dubai with a very special guide, Tareq - Hello, everybody!
I strongly recommend requesting Tareq as a guide for this tour. He made our experience an unforgettable one, as he master many foreign languages and knows so many information about Dubai, arabian history and filosofy, he explains everything in a logical way and makes connections between different areas of interest, so that in the end you can leave with the whole "picture" in your head, not only sepparate pieces of puzzle.
I can not forget mentioning that he is full of energy and has a positive way of seeing things and he is also paying attention to everything you say and everything you need in order to fully satisfy your desire for knowledge.
I went in this tour with my family of two children of 13 and 7 years old, and they were also impressed by Tareq because he knew how to explain everything for them, too. We are from Romania and were surprised to find out that he knew few things about our country and was also eager to find more about it from us.
We send Tareq our best regards and to all of you reading this, I wish to have a wonderfull experience like us visiting Dubai with Tareq by your side as a guide!

Amazing experience - We are on honeymoon and decided to book a private city tour as it was our first visit to dubai. Our tour guide was our compatriot Alex from Armenia. He provided excellent customer service and treated us like VIP. We will definitely recommend Arabian Adventures to all our friends. We are looking forward to coming back and taking more tours with Alex

Honeymoon Seightseeing - We did a city tour of Dubai with Arabian Adventures, which was unforgettable and spectacular. With our driver "Amir" and our first class tour guide "Alex", we not only had a lot of fun, but also saw a lot of the beautiful "City of Gold" Dubai. We would book Arabian Adventures again anytime and are already planning our next trip with "Alex".
Greetings from the newlyweds family G.
