We had a lovely day with our family seeing the east coast, thanks to Ali!

We 100% recommend this tour! To start, Ali picked us up right on time and it was nice that he communicated through WhatsApp on the morning that he was on his way. He is very friendly and knowledgeable and brought us to all the good spots. His lunch recommendation was also ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. If you’re in Dubai and want to see something more of the UAE, this is definitely for you!

Experience different vibe of Emirates

Great trip because you can see completely different things from Dubai. In our case there were no crowds at all. Starting from birds including hummingbirds, hoopoes in hanging gardens and cormorants by the dam. We also saw Arabic Sand Gazelles by the Dam and catfish in the lake behind the dam. The oldest mosque in UAE was very humble And the umbrellas beach was full of mussels. Among all the driver - Yusuf - was amazing and he took care of us very well. He also had very comfortable car for 6 passengers.
