Best tour guide - We had an amazing tour guide Diana Nanuashvili Dubai, who took us around the city. The experience was enriching. Filled with lots of learning and fun. She was a great teacher. We learnt so much about the city and will surely be coming back for more. Thank you so much Orient, until next time. If ever you are in Dubai ask for Orient as for Diana.

Absolutely The Best - If you're looking for the best guide and driver for touring Dubai and Abu Dabi look no further than Mehul Bulsara (guide) and Bahzor (driver). Our travel group spent a week there and the service was top notch. My first time visiting and everything was outstanding. Thank you both for making my trip so memorable.

Dubai & surrounding cities - The Dubai trip was awesome, under the tour guidance of Muhammad Jamil, he was knowledgeable and patient. Our Azuri family did a lot, like the Burj Khalifa tallest building in the world, yacht cruising the marina, dune bashing in the desert, riding a camel & holding a falcon, and still had some free time to explore. We ate in both family style & upscale restaurants. I learned about both new and old Dubai's history. We visited mosques, museums, and also explored the surrounding cities including Abu Dhabi. There is so much new construction going on that in a few years it would be worth going back, I hope Muhammad Jamil will be available to be our tour guide again.
