Old Dubai tour with Adil Amin.

We had a wonderful time learning about the early days of Dubai. Our guide, Adil Amin, was terrific! We loved that he protected us from scams, and assured that we did not overpay when we decided to buy something. That is helpful when you’re a tourist. Great job, Adil!!!
