Quick and easy

This tour is a great way to experience Dubai on a time crunch. We had a 7 hour layover and didn’t want to waste it sitting around. We got to see some main sites. The tour is flexible based on your on your interests and time frame. Our guide Sarfaraz was great! Very knowledgeable and cool.

Great tour!

Jeffrey_B, Dec 2022

Sameer was amazing with communication leading up to me landing in Dubai and then meeting me at the airport. It’s scary landing in a foreign country, but was so helpful to know exactly where to go. He clearly explained all of the stops, allowed me to choose things and took really incredible pics for me. This tour was everything I was hoping it would be and more. Totally recommend!

Layover tour of Dubai

OLESKA_O, Nov 2021

We had a long layover in Dubai and took an opportunity to explore it on a tour. the tour with Waseem was everything I expected and more! It started with great communication from the time I booked the tour. Waseem was very quick to respond and flexible on the pickup time and location. I was super jet lagged and he was very helpful navigating everything and helping with my sleeping child. He is also very knowledgeable about the city and interesting places to visit. We drove past the skyscrapers, visited the mall, the marina, stopped by the famous Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab. In the old Dubai we enjoyed the clay architecture and took a water taxi (abra) to the Souk. The Gold Souk is definitely unique and a must see place. Waseem has a good sense of how to plan and run the tour based on a person’s needs. We asked if his plan worked for us or if we wanted to see something else as well. We also stopped at the perfect times to get water, food, restrooms and he even found a stroller for my daughter. At the end of the tour Waseem dropped us at the hotel and waited to make sure we were all set with the check in. A totally flawless and awesome experience! Highly recommend

Super nice trip through Dubai

travel, Mar 2020

The trip was super interesting! I got picked up on time at the airport and my guide Waseem was super friendly. He showed me a lot of interesting things to see in Dubai and took some pictures of me in front of the Burj Khalifa. Unfortunately, I was super tired after my flight but still I was excited to see everything. I saw everything I wanted to see and my guide told me quite a lot facts about the city and the United Arab Emirates, he knew a lot. I got back on time as well. I can only recommend this.

Few hours in Dubai

Denise, Feb 2020

I was very happy with this layover. The weather was very rainy in Dubai and I had delays in exiting the airport due the airline arriving late and issues with securing an exit visa quickly. However, my tour guide Waseem, was patiently waiting and considering the weather conditions he did an excellent job of providing an informative overview of Dubai. If I have a longer layover in Dubai I will return and request Waseem as my tour guide.

Much more fun than sitting in the airport

sue, Feb 2020

I really enjoyed my tour of Dubai with Waseem, who was very knowledgeable about the city and was a cheerful, friendly and interesting guide. He was happy to adapt the tour according to my interests, and was careful to get me back to the airport in plenty of time for my onward flight.

Wonderful Private Tour

Amber_D, Dec 2019

I had a layover in Dubai and Waseem showed me the top sights in my short time. He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot to me about Dubai. He was very attentive and knew the best things to see to give me an idea of what Dubai is like. I would recommend this tour with him and if I go back to Dubai, I will go on tours with Waseem.

Excellent tour guide
