5.00Abdul is a great guide the explanations were very clear and the tour was very rewarding I highly recommend this tour you will learn a lot of things from the history of some districts of dubai. Visit to the coffee museum and very atypical I really enjoyed it. But beware the exorbitant prices in The Spice Souk It's really a big scam
Excellent

5.00I really enjoyed this tour. Alex was my photographer and we had a great time walking all over old town and taking photos. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe on this excursion. It was also great to have someone take professional photos of me without me having to fumbling with a tripod or endless selfies. The photos turned out great! The meal at the end of the tour was delicious! Overall this was a FANTASTIC value!
Great!

5.00I loved this experience. Definitely one of the top highlights of my trip - had so much fun. Our tour guide, Maaz, took wonderful care of us. He was super knowledgeable and seemed very happy to answer any questions we had. A charismatic gentleman whose sense of humour also helped us absorb all the info. The tour’s photographer, Muhammad, was just amazing - made me feel comfortable while being adventurous with photo suggestions. He captured my experience of the tour brilliantly. Both were very kind and it felt like they really cared to make the experience enjoyable. It felt like they were old friends of mine by the end of the tour. The restaurant and delicious food and refreshing drinks we sampled was the cherry on top. Would recommend the tour to anyone in a heartbeat. I’d definitely do it again, given the chance.
Fantastic trip around the sights of Dubai with Adnan

5.00Super Trip to all the main sights in Dubai in the great care of our tour guide Adnan. His cultural knowledge provided excellent insight and background about the city and the UAE overall. His passion for ensuring each guest maximised their time on the trip ensured that we had ample time in each location which were captured brilliantly through his combined photography skills. This trip is highly personalised and delivered at a pace to ensure every enjoys the experience. This trip is ideal for travellers looking to see the key sights of the beautiful city of Dubai in a short period and having Adnan as our guide ensured it was a 10/10 trip. I would highly recommend this trip and Oceanairtravels as a provider of choice. I am looking forward to my return visit where hopefully I meet Adnan on my next trip!
Really nice photos, great memory!

5.00We booked this photo tour, thinking that we want to keep some nice photos of us from dubai - but that is only part of what you get. From start until finish, Adnan (our guide) told us all about the history of UAE, showed us amazing monuments around dubai, and to top it off, took us to a nice, local restaurant. Our photos are really nice, but the memory really is the great experience of it all. Thank you Adnan!
Dreamy Dubai
