5.00Eslam was a superb guide. My wide and I travel regularly and have been on every continent and more countries and cities than I can count. We use tour guides wherever we go...dome shared, most private. Before we even met, he sent texts with clear instructions where to meet. We had a prior tour so asked for a time adjustment which he was happy to accommodate. He gave us details about all the sights in Dubai we saw but we also conversed about the varied cultures and traditions of the greater Arab world. With a background in archeology and having lived in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and now the UAE, he had a wide and comprehensive understanding of how the historical and current interactions between the people of the Middle East influenced and influences this city and its development. We talked so easily that I felt like I was taking a stroll through Dubai talking with a good friend. The people we met with on our tour, some passers by, some in shops and other vendors, all were thrilled to see Eslam. That network and the camaraderie made for a broader and more unique experience than one might normally.receive at stops along a tour. In the end, Eslam's kindness, his abilities and his passion for what he does made this the best tour of our trip here and at the top of all the tours my wife and I have taken on our world travels. I strongly recommend you book him. You will not regret it.

5.00Orlina was an excellent guide. We had a very enjoyable tour and learned a lot about old Dubai. The tour lasts 2 hours and included a lovely little boat trip across the creek. The Souks are well worth a visit.
