A perfect way to spend a layover - We had 24h in Dubai and decided to go on an 8 hour layover tour to see as much of the city as possible. Our tour guide, Mohammad was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, extremely hospitable, kind and respectful, making our tour experience unforgettable. We were able to try local street foods and shop in the souks of Old Dubai, and took many lovely photos for the memories! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone passing through Dubai for a few hours!

Old town Dubai - Mohammad was a great guide. He arrived early, was very knowledgeable and informative and flexible in what we were interested in seeing. We really liked the boat ride across the river and he got us our own private boat each time. Thanks for the fun day!
