We had the best day with Mansoor! We planned a long layover on the way home from a long vacation but didn’t know what to expect or really plan anything in Dubai. Our family of 4 all had different ideas of what to see and do. Mansoor was able to accommodate all of our ideas and gave a great history and overview of the city. He also took us to some local hangouts which was awesome. His flexibility made all the difference.
Ama and Glorious Tours were phenomenal. Their attention to detail and their ability to think ahead for us was what set them apart from every other travel guided experience. Their comms night and day kept us all in the loop and functioning on time. Their cautions/things to think about were also valuable as we navigated life in another country. Glorious Tours didn't forget about us once we landed in Sweden, they paid attention to us everyday, guiding, suggesting, checking up, regular comms, understaood the needs of old people as well as the young.
If you are looking for a tour guide in Dubai, I highly recommend Mohammed! He took us to all the city's iconic landmarks while providing rich, fascinating historical context for every place we visited. Beyond his deep knowledge, his English is fluent and extremely clear, making the entire tour seamless and engaging. Mohammed is truly top-tier—do not hesitate to book him for your trip! J.Michael
Thank you so much, Mohamed, for the wonderful tour guide!!! You are truly amazing, and we really appreciate everything you did for us! I will definitely recommend you to everyone. Wishing you all the best!
We visited the city in 5 hours, a wonderful tour especially for our guide Mansoor who showed us everything possible.
Tamour was the extremely attentive, respectful and knowledgeable about showing you Dubai on my extended layover. He wanted to ensure I saw everything the tour advertised and he knew all the spots for either the best photos or to see the light/water show.
Mansoor was awesome, detailed and thorough with sharing the history of the city and super accomodating 👌🏾
Mansoor was a great tour guide especially as we had limited hours in the wee small hours 2am onwards.
A 2am layover tour sounded like a long shot, but Tamour made it one of the most memorable two hours of my entire trip from Bangkok to Naples. I had a layover in Dubai and decided to make the most of it with a late-night tour, and I'm so glad I did. Tamour was incredibly courteous and clearly proud of the city; he brought me to stunning, authentic spots including several beautiful mosques, the Burj Khalifa, the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, Zabeel Palace, the Museum of the Future, and Dubai Marina. Everything was closed at that hour, of course, but the architecture and atmosphere alone were worth it. Tamour was full of interesting history and local knowledge the entire time, and he made sure I got a real taste of the city too, stopping at two spots for authentic tea and a shawarma wrap that hit the spot perfectly. He also took wonderful photos for me along the way, which was perfect to have for my future planning to return! Even at 2am, Dubai felt beautiful, safe and genuinely immaculate. It gave me just enough of a preview that I know I want to come back and experience it properly during the day, and when I do, I'll absolutely be booking with Tamour again. Highly recommend if you ever have an odd-hours layover or even full days and want to make your visit memorable, informed, authentic and fun!
Thank you to Tamour for the fantastic 3-hour tour of Dubai. We learned a great deal and enjoyed some wonderful sights and memorable photos at a comfortable pace. He is very knowledgeable and, most importantly, he explained everything very well. We are very grateful to Tamour and highly recommend him.
