5.00This tour with Walid was brilliant. Walid was very knowledgeable and interesting and gave us a good insight to Dubai and the Emirati. We also tasted many delicacies and lovely teas and true Emirati coffee. And he showed us through the Souk markets. Loved the Abra taxi across the water too. Highly recommend
