5.00I recently went on a half-day Dubai city tour, and it exceeded all expectations! The tour was very well-organized, punctual, and packed with highlights, making it a great choice for anyone with limited time in the city. Our guide Chammil and Driver Haroon were knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating insights about Dubai’s history, culture, and rapid development. We visited some of the most iconic spots. Highly recommend for short breaks in Dubai.
