You gotta see Hatta - Our flight was not leaving until after midnight so after a cruise we had a whole day in Dubai. Having seen a lot of the city previously, we wanted to see more of the area and I was delighted when I found this tour with Faisan Mizra, a guide who comes highly recommended.
He picked us up in his air conditioned and comfortable SUV, and in no time we were heading to Hatta which is located in the mountains. I can't say it was any cooler there than around Dubai, but it was totally different scenery. We visited the dam and lake where you have the opportunity to rent craft to go onto the lake. Next stop was a market which had some lovely fruit baskets. Then it was on to the heritage village which was very interesting and very pleasant to wander around. Our last stop was a lovely surprise, a honey bee discovery centre where we sampled different types of honey. At each stop there was the opportunity to do much more than we did; we found the heat a little too much that day. Heading back to Dubai, Faisan treated us to tea and samosas. We were then dropped off at an hotel close to the airport.
Faisan is a very amiable, very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about Dubai and surrounding areas. We had a great last day of our vacation with him, and would not hestitate to recommend him and this tour.

Fun and educational tour - Faizan was our tour guide and he was very detailed with the history of Dubai and nearby states which deepen our knowledge of the country. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously we would highly recommend anyone to join the tour for sight seeing to Hatta Dam, plan for more time if you would like to kayak and the bees tour was educational for our son as it's a rare opportunity to be up close with the bees.

Personalized and quality ride. - Superb walk with toseef. Hatta is a city of character which contrasts with the madness of grandeur of Dubai. Several interesting stops. A kayak trip on the lake. A stop at our request in a local supermarket with prices very different from the souks of Dubai. Lots of visiting tips for the rest of our stay. Very comfortable car. Thank you toseef
The only downside was that the heritage village was closed.

Great day in Hatta and nature! - A great day in Hatta with Faizan! the kayaking on the water dam is really fun with beautiful scenery, the heritage village is a very short visit but such a peaceful place, and a very nice view from the watchtower. I had time and did not feel pressured to do anything. Faizan answered a lot of questions I had!

One of the memorable experience - We were able to book this tour with Mr. Faizan Mirza after I contacted him directly after receiving a recommendation from one of my coworkers to do so. In fact, it was the best tour thus far because the guide Mr. Mirza thoroughly explained the history of the United Arab Emirates and the background of the well-known places. There's no doubt that he was knowledgeable about the UAE and the best person to explain it. Bravo to Mr. Mirza and highly recommended.

Professional Guide. Beautiful Dam. Nice Honey. - The guide is friendly and accommodative. He is knowledgable and conduct himself professionally. We are looking for a private tour for my family. Hatta is some distance away from Dubai and my family has enjoyed the trip, away from the hustle and bustle of the city malls.
