Solo day in the desert

5.00Thank you so much to Rafiq for my highly personalised tour of Al Ain. I was extremely keen to spend some time in the desert and experience some of the Bedouin origins of the nation. Rafiq was so helpful, taught me a lot and used his local knowledge to find us food and a very good price on an abaya for me! He made me feel so welcome and I thoroughly enjoyed his company on our adventure. Thank you Rafiq!

5.00I had a fantastic day exploring Al Ain with Saif. Everything was very well organized, and he shared so many interesting insights about the history and culture of the area. His knowledge and professionalism truly stood out. Al Ain really touches you — it’s peaceful, cozy, and incredibly beautiful, with a special calm atmosphere that makes you slow down and appreciate the surroundings. The mountain view was absolutely stunning. We ended the day perfectly, enjoying karak tea, which was such a lovely and authentic touch. Thank you, Saif, for a great day and a truly enjoyable experience.

5.00Our day trip to Al Ain was incredible ! The historical significance and natural beauty was a breath of fresh air in contrast to the busy hustle and bustle of Dubai. Our guide, Zeeshan, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and catered the entire day to our needs. Being such a long day can be strenuous on a family with 2 infants under 3, but Zeeshan made us feel very comfortable and helped with the kids and provided excellent recommendations to keep them entertained also. 5 stars for the tour and another 5 stars for Zeeshan!!
