5.00We had an amazing experience with Farhan in Dubai! From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and stress-free. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, and shared fascinating insights about Dubai’s history, culture, modern landmarks and last but not the least cars!! What stood out most that Farhan was attentive and professional- always making sure we were comfortable and answering questions with a smile. Thanks to this experience, Dubai felt more than just a tourist destination—it felt welcoming. I would highly recommend Farhan and Trip habibi to anyone visiting Dubai and looking for a memorable, well-guided experience. Truly worth it!
Great knowledge, very respectful, knowledgeable and professional!

5.00I have to say a huge “Thank You!”to Farhan who drove us and shared his time and religious and historical knowledge of the region and Dubai. Dubai is just interesting, I mean, I have a lot more respect for their King/7 kings for what they accomplished in 30ish years. In addition, he’s the real deal, not fake in anyway, and so if you want “real life” and authentic person leading your tour, he’s your guy!
Great tour, great guide

5.00We had a private tour with Farhan today, and it was an excellent experience. He was very friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. We learned a lot during the tour, not only about the main sights but also about local culture and everyday life. Farhan shared many useful tips and insider recommendations that made our stay even better. The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable throughout. We can only highly recommend it!

5.00We booked this private half day tour through Viator to get an overview of Dubai in an efficient way. Our guide, Haman was very good and we got to see a lot of Dubai in 5 hours. The itinerary we chose included going to the top of Burj Khalifa first thing in the morning, so we avoided the crowds. Viewing the architecture was amazing. We also enjoyed the Abra boat ride in Old Dubai. The overview helped us know what areas to visit again on our own.

5.00Thank you, Farhan, for showing our family around Dubai! As we'd already seen some parts of the city during our short stay, Farhan tailored our tour to suit what we were most interested in but hadn't experienced yet. The boys were keen on the supercars so Farhan facilitated some showroom visits... which they were blown away by. If our visit to Dubai ended straight after that, I'm sure they would have thought it was the best holiday ever. Next we took an abra ride across Dubai Ck to the souks in the historic part of Dubai to shop for spices, teas and perfume. As newbies to haggling, Farhan gave us helpful tips to get a good deal. A stop at the Al Farooq Omar Bin Al Khattab Mosque, past the Palace, Dubai Frame, Museum of the Future, all while teaching us the history of Dubai, UAE and the culture of the nation. We can't thank Farhan enough for letting our family experience not only the thrill of Dubai but also showing the cultural and historic elements of this epic city.
Had an unforgettable time today on our habibi tour through Dubai with Farhan

5.00Farhan was the tour guide for me and my family through and around Dubai today and we had a blast. His enthusiasm and love for the city made our trip even better than expected. Going above and beyond with in depth stories both about the city and its rich culture. I would definitely recommend to anyone booking the same trip to consider going with Farhan. - Braith

5.00Farhan was a great and knowledgable guide. I stopped in the UAE for a short layover & learned a lot about Dubai in a short period of time. I had some delays with my flight & he waited/was very communicative throughout the process.
