This is the best tour guide that there is. He is very knowledgeable about everything Dubai, funny and friendly. We had the time of our lives. He took us to some spice shop in the old Dubai where we were served coffee and learned about their spices . The place and people we so great we returned to that shop numerous time afterward to buy things for family and friends back in the United States. A Tour with this guy is a “Must “ .
The best guide in the world. He really took him time to explained everything in great detail and was very knowledgeable about culture and history of events. Having him as a tour guide is worth ev penny and some.
