Wonder SnapShit of the City - Today thanks to @oscarknighttour we got to be total tourist! We went to the marina, Palm Jumeirah to see Palm Island and Atlantis, saw the Burj Al Arab building, went to the Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab mosque. It isn’t our religion but we were respectful and you could feel the positive energy. It was beyond beautiful all the details and extra adornments. We took a traditional water taxi,
Abra across to the spice market which was like Tijuana on steroids!!! So many beautiful buildings and the architecture is breathtaking!! Our tour guide Waserm answered so many questions and shared his culture with us.

For my return trip to Dubai … - I stayed in Dubai for 2 days only, to get the most out of my time, my friends booked for me this tour so that I could get to know Dubai in the short time I had. Waseem made it possible by driving me to the most beautiful locations and important landmarks. I enjoyed the stops on the tour immensely, but especially enjoyed the knowledge and company Waseem provided along the way as well. When you are a guest in Dubai, you quickly become their family and with Waseem it was no different. You cannot have a poor experience with him as your guide, he is an amazing person. You have to see for yourself!

Local knowledge and points of interest - A private tour with Waseiam, great local knowledge and accommodating for time slots in between destinations. Our first stay over in Dubai and this tour with Waseiam has not only created great memories but made us realise we need to come back to revisit. Thank you for a wonderful and interesting morning.
