10 Sightseeing Tours in United Arab Emirates That You Shouldn't Miss

August 4, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Nomadic tribal heritage and modern society co-exist in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates at the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Look beyond the desert that consumes four-fifths of its area and you'll find UAE capital Abu Dhabi, an oil-rich city of skyscrapers, parks and malls, and Dubai, with its split personality of luxury resorts and covered marketplaces, upscale boutiques and local artisans. For a break from urban sprawl, journey over rolling red sand dunes into the Hatta Mountains, where the 200-year-old Sharia Mosque sits amid 30 restored buildings of sandalwood and mud.

I booked a private Dubai city Tour with Noor Al Hayat Tourism, we were picked up on time from our Hotel in Barsha Hights. It was a perfect shiny day in Dubai. Our Tour Guide was a super nice guy he explained everything in the car and at the places. Over all it was a nice experience and my favourite part of the city was old Dubai and Abra ride, thousands thanks to our Guide Rehman

We spent the day with Gomez having designed for us a custom itinerary. It was a great way to see the city in a short time, as we are only in town for a few days. Gomez met us at our hotel a few minutes earlier than our meeting time, with his driver and a clean, spacious and air conditioned car. We did a great tour around the city, stopping to take pictures at all of the must see spots and with Gomez explaining the history of each of the places along the way. We had a great day with Gomez and I would highly recommend him for your next visit to Dubai! Thank you Gomez!!
