Suqlain gave us a wonderful insight into Dubai. He took us to places to eat non locals would never discover. His pride for his city comes across in his discussions around the delicious food, culture, history and of course the people. A fantastic culinary voyage of discovery. Great insight into Dubai

We agreed to change the standard itinerary to meet our requirements and Suqlain could not have been more accommodating. The trip was my wife and I and our 3 children and Suqlain made sure to involve and engage with us all. We genuinely would not have seen these sights without his help. His knowledge was very interesting and importantly the food was incredible. I would recommend this to friends and family and thus no hesitation to anyone else reading this on the app. Expectations were high but still exceeded

My husband an I had a fantastic time on our food tour with Saqlain. We ate all the food our stomach could fit (and more). We had food we had never heard of and loved every moment of our time on this tour. If you're a foodie who loves to try new local foods, you want to go on this tour. We highly recommend it!The Best Food Tour in Dubai

Our family had a great time during this tour! We are not only very enthusiastic about trying new food but we also want to get to know another culture. Our guide was not only able to satisfy our stomachs but also able to answer all our questions:) Definitely a favourite activity during our Dubai holiday! Had a great time and food!

This tour was just perfect and we can highly recommend it! The food and drinks we tried were super delicious and beyond that Suqlain gave us very interesting infos about Dubai and brought us to nice and special places we would not have visited on our own. He was happy to answer all our questions and adjusted the food he offered to our individual tastes. It was an overall great experience which left us entirely full and happy :-) Awesome!

I had a great time exploring Dubai old town with Suqlain. Hearing about the history of Dubai was fascinating. We visited some great eateries. The kind of places I like the look of but would not be sure what to order. He was clearly passionate about the area and most importantly the food! He was knowledgeable and really friendly and easy to talk to. I would happily do it again!

Die Begegnung mit Suqlain war bereichernd und höchst spannend sowie sympathisch. Suqlain erklärte die Geschichte Dubais sehr professionell und gab uns mit seinem sehr guten Englisch schnell das Gefühl, mitten im authentischen Dubai zu stehen. Seine Food-Tour gab uns Einblicke in die vorwiegend eher indische Küche. Wir waren mit unseren beiden Kindern unterwegs (25 und 27 J). Auch für sie war die Tour sehr interessant. Wir können Suqlain wirklich allen empfehlen. Authenthisch und spannend

We had a really cool evening with Suqlain. The food was extremely good and for us definitely something new and adventurous - we would have never tried it on our own. Suqlain was really nice and told us a lot about the history and the daily life in Dubai. Highly recommended! Yum yum yum!

We ended up with Ali instead of Suqlain for our tour. The food was great and we were very full by the end of it. We got to try some things we wouldn't have had otherwise. It was good to get a bit of the history of the area and be able to ask questions about life in Dubai.Great experience -recommended

I make purchases and bookings online very regularly, but I only write reviews for anything once every year or two. However, Suqlain was such an amazing tour guide that I just had to write a review. I only had a short layover in Dubai, but I was able to make the most of it by booking a street food tour with Suqlain. Suqlain was at the appointed meeting place on time, and he was extremely knowledgeable about Dubai and its history. He took me to parts of town and amazing restaurants that I know I would not have been able to find on my own. Most of all, Suqlain made me feel right at home on our tour, it felt like he was an old friend showing me around his city. I was on my trip for almost two weeks, and the food that Suqlain introduced me to on my short layover was by far the culinary highlight of my trip. I wish that I would have booked a longer tour with Suqlain, and if I am in Dubai again I can guarantee that I will book other tours with him.Great Tour!

Walking around with Suqlain was tantamount to walking around with a family member. Talking, laughing, and learning about the city he loves while getting to experience a pulse of culture most Dubai tourists never see. He introduced us to our favorite eateries on this trip. Highly recommend any tour with Suplain. Great Tour

Suglain is a wonderful host and an even better photographer!! he knew all the best spots for pictures !! he is very knowledgeable and speaks perfect english. we saw so much and he was very accommodating.

Suqlain did a phenomenal job showing us the sites of the city, explaining the history of Dubai, and was very courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! The desert portion of the tour was unlike anything we’ve done before. Doing the dune bashing was an unforgettable experience along with the Dune Buggy ride and holding a falcon!Dubai Tour

We took the trip to the desert with Suqlain and enjoyed it very much. It was a bit of a drive out of the city but offered another experience on our two day stop over in Dubai. The day before we had done the city tour. The car was very comfortable for the 4 of us and we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel so all was very convenient. Our first stop was for the dune buggy rides where we each had the opportunity to take a buggy for 2 so our husbands did the driving and both wives opted to be passengers while following our guide into the desert. Just wanted to mention that there was an open top so we were exposed to the sun. Sunscreen advised. We went in the morning but it was still very warm. We were given helmets to wear and we took the opportunity to do so. Fun experience that lasted about 1/2 hour. We also had the opportunity to ride a camel but decided to pass on that. Next we drove further into the desert for the dune bashing experience. We took a drive up over the dunes (in the air conditioned car driven by Suqlain). He took us on a wild ride on the dunes. Very exciting and a bit scary! He was a great driver, though, and we were very safe! We did ask to cut the ride a bit shorter than Suqlain originally planned but he listened to us and did as we asked. I think, however, he was a bit disappointed that we cut the ride short. Perhaps he thought we did not enjoy it, but we did! Lots of twists and turns, though. Hang on tight!! This tour gave us an opportunity to see another side of Dubai- the desert. Dubai is built on the desert and it’s an amazing city. Hard to believe the entire city looked like what we saw on this tour before it was built up! We would recommend this tour and Suqlain to others looking for an exiting excursion. A very different Dubai experience

We had a great tour with Suqlain while visiting Dubai. My kids were not super interested in the history but Suqlain was able to keep them engaged through the tour. There is a lot of history in Dubai and a lot of little fun facts that we had no clue about so this was a great way to gain some insights. Highly recommend to use with locals and Suqlain specifically if you are in Dubai. With locals also helps coordinate many other activities which makes it really amazing because you can pretty much customize it to fit your needs.Family tour of Dubai hidden grms

Dubai is an amazing city with a lot to see and do. It’s worth taking the effort to see it but how to see it in a short period of time? Suqlain did a great job taking us around. He knows the city well and if one place had long lines, we easily moved on. I appreciated his flexibility 2 days in Dubai

We had a wonderful city tour with our guide Khan. He picked the group of 4 ladies up on time and then took us on a guided tour of the key sights of Dubai. He was informative yet took the time to answer our questions patiently. We would highly recommend Khan for this tour. Thank you. Kind Khan

Suqlain was amazing! HIGHLY recommend!! He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Dubai and easily answered any and all questions we had throughout the day and evening that we spent with him. We had an 18 hour layover in Dubai and wanted to make the most of it. We couldn't have been happier with Suqlain's services despite being tired after flying all day and being awake when we would normally be sleeping. My husband was also not feeling well and Suqlain was very understanding. We will definitely reach out to Suqlain again when we are in Dubai next. If you're on the fence about booking an adventure or tour with him, just do it, you'll be happy you did! Great time in Dubai

Suqlain shiwed us around 'old Dubai'. we enjoyed the tour and the inside information on Dubai Suqlain shared with us. We enjoyed the Creek, the Souks, the boatride and especially the delicious street food. We asked many questions, but Suqlain ansewered with patience and a smile. Enjoyed the hidden Dubai gems

We had a single day layover in Dubai and wanted to be able to see the most as possible. We also wanted the comfort of a private tour and to be able to customise if needed. And we absolutely wanted to visit the dessert. Our tour guide Suqlain was the best part of the tour providing the comfort of driving us to the doorstep of all attractions, giving us the local knowledge, avoiding the tourist traps, quickly adapted the tour to our requests and answered any question along the way. . This tour helped us save a lot of time compared to if we had to do everything on our own. The highlight of the tour for us was the dessert. A magnificent feeling and stunning sunset. We recommend paying extra and rent a dune buggy to drive. So so much fun. Highly recommended tour and an extra thank you to Suqlain.The most & the best of Dubai in a day

Assim was an amazing guide in providing a great overview of the Emirates history as we drove from Dubai for the day to Abu Dhabi. We were awed by the Grand Mosque. Enjoyed the gold coffee and ice cream at the Shangri-La Hotel and seeing the palaces. We asked to stop for a local lunch and had a great authentic experience. Highly recommend Assim. I'm not sure why we booked with Suqlain and messaged with him but did not know until we got picked up that it was not him. I think the actual guide should be the one advertised and if not then clearly communicate this. Its fine to switch but be upfront about it I felt it was "hidden".Assim a 10! Suqlain not the guide

Suqlain is such a wonderful person and tour guide. He knows everything about Dubai history and present. We were a bit nervous about driving on sand dunes and camel riding. He made us feel 100% comfortable and safe. We recommend Suqlain to anyone coming to Dubai on holiday.Best Tour Guide Ever!

We were very lucky with our guide Suqlain who made this trip a really special and unforgetable day for our family. From the beginning we could choose our tour program and we never thought that we can visit so many special places in Dubai in just ten hours. Suqlain has a really good knowledge about the whole town so he was telling some interesting facts during our tour as well. Furthermore he made the best pictures from us 😉 We can just highly recomend a tour with him - you will be surprised! Thank you for everything. >> best Dubai trip
