Had a Dubai City Tour with Zulfi as our guide. It was truly an experience in Dubai. Zulfi was very patient during the tour and so as our driver. Zulfi was smart to communicate with me using the what’s up app knowing that I have an international number and I did not roam my phone. He was knowledgeable regarding the tour and was never tired of answering our questions. Thank you much Zulfi - Arnel Javier

It’s fascinating to explore historic Old Town of Dubai —a real gem and place where Dubai was actually born—but it’s easy to lose your way in the area’s maze-like, narrow streets. To stay oriented and ensure you don’t miss key highlights, join a guide with deep knowledge of local culture. It’s fully personalized to your preferences, whether you’re shopping for local textiles, interested in history, or learning about our Culture and food.

Inclusions: Bottled water, All Fees and Taxes
