Great Tour - Mr Shafi was our guide and he did a great job explaining the history of the Dubai culture. His knowledge was excellent and he answered every question from the group. It was super hot and humid but he did a great job keeping us moving and even had local snacks for us. I would definitely recommend his tour if you like learning about history and culture.

Arabian Adventures - Our Tour with Mr. Shafi was enlightening. He was on time, texted us meeting place, showed us around important sites with samples to see and taste. He is very knowledgeable and his english is great. Even spoke some Spanish to me. He waited for us as we shop and even help us how to negotiate in the Souks. We are most appreciated for his kindness. The Tour in itself is a great value. You get A LOT for your money. Thank you again. We had the best time!!! Marie
