Suqlain is a very nice tour guide and our family had a great day in Dubai old town and took photo of many famous attractions.Great day trip in Dubai

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

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

We waren een beetje teleurgesteld over het middag programma, de tijd voor de Kalifa was wat kort ivm grote drukte . Ook hadden we er niet op gerekend dat de desert tour niet private was.

If you are looking for the perfect guide Suqlain A should be your first and last stop. For two and a half days my wife and I benefited from his knowledge and expertise as we toured both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The people and the culture of the Emerates came alive. When we had a personal problem Suqlain A went out of his way to help provide a solution. If his service were an event in the Olympics, he earned a perfect 10.Expertise Plus

Suqlain provided a wonderful experience. His local knowledge and contacts provided a tour that was not only informative of current Dubai but also the history behind everything visited. Suqlain also tailored the tour to take into account personal preferences and locations visited. It truly made the tour a special adventure and yet relaxed enough that one didn’t feel obligated to rush from one attraction to another as with the normal tour operators. Having spent over 25 years touring various parts of the world I can say with confidence that this was the best tour I’ve ever booked. I would recommend Suqlain without any reservations to anyone who is looking to discover Dubai with a personally tailored experience.Excellent guide

Suqlain provided excellent service from our initial contact to the final goodbye. We enjoyed clear, helpful communications throughout and he worked closely with us to tailor a full day’s experience for the activities and sights we wanted to do and see, and he provided several relevant suggestions. He easily went above and beyond our expectations. Without reservation, we strongly recommend Suqlain to anyone looking for a thorough immersion into Dubai. Thank you Suqlain!Excellent service from Suqlain…

I had a layover in Dubai, so decided to take a tour of Dubai. Suqlain was a great guide. He not only customized my trip, but also made sure that I did not miss out on anything. His knowledge about DubI is very extensive. He kept customizing the trip as per my comfort and time constraints. I have already recommended him to a few of my friends and will continue to do so whenever anybody brings up the topic of Dubai. Thank you Suqlain for a wonderful tour of Dubai. Dubai tour

Suqlain offered plenty of knowledge on each buildings status as we passed them and provided insight into the dynamics of the city. Together with the driver the tour was seemless and brief. As we had booked a full day private tour we were a little surprised to be dropped off to tour the Burj Khalifa observation deck alone and then handed off for the afternoon safari. Another couple joined us in a landcruiser for the dunes and there was huge group at the desert camp in the evening. Overall it was a great one day overview of Dubai. Dubai in brief

We had an amazing experience with Suqlain! He really immersed us in the history and culture of Dubai, and we were able to learn so much from him in just 9 hours. Suqlain takes you to all the highlights in Dubai in the most efficient manner. Super knowledgeable and very enthusiastic, keeping us entertained all day. Would highly recommend Suqlain as a host for anyone visiting Dubai!!Amazing day!

Suqlain is an excellent guide. He showed us a comprehensive view of the city, old and new. He is a wealth of information. His commentary was great and he was more than willing to answer our many questions. Not only was his tour an in-depth view of Dubai, he took good care of us as well. He bought of snacks, made sure we were hydrated, taught us to haggle in the souks, and knew when we needed bathroom breaks. Just a great day all around. We will happily recommend him to our friends.

I chose Suqlain from reviews from earlier travelers. He was a great choice. Communicated quickly via email to book and make arrangements prior to our arrival. On time with a clean car and driver at the hotel pickup. His knowledge and passion for Dubai was evident as he shared the history, customs and culture of the Provence. I cannot recommend him high enough and urge others who want to make the most of a day tour in Dubai to book with Suqlain too.Do yourself a favor and tour with Suqlain

Suqlain...I enjoyed my experience except for the dinner out in the desert and wasted time at sand buggies....no one wanted to try but we still spent half an hour there. I did not enjoy tbe food and it was not hot...barely warm. I could not eat it.Full-Day: Best of Dubai Experience

We had the pleasure of Suqlain as our guide around the city. He is an amusing and informative gentleman who adapted the tour to our requirements and what was happening in the city on that day. We would have no problem recommending Suqlain and the tour.Dubai visit 02/02/18

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

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

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 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

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

Suqlain was incredible. Four of us had a 13 layover in Dubai (flying from Thailand back to the US). I messaged him two days before we arrived and asked to see both the city and the desert. Not only was Suqlain immediately responsive (with impressive English) he absolutely NAILED our day and was very flexible based on what we wanted to see/do and how much time we had. It ended up being a great day. After he met us in the airport terminal and walked us to the vehicle, we started the tour with a great local falafel lunch. He then took us to the desert and drove us/drifted us through the dunes, stopping to take some epic photos. We got to ride a camel at sunset and then we went back to the city. We hit all the main highlight spots, including the fountain water show and aquarium at the mall, a local dinner, and shopping at the traditional markets (where we learned the background of traditional clothing, jewelry, spices and more). Suqlain was very friendly, informative, and made sure we got a great deal on all the items we purchased. The whole day was amazing and we all went back to the airport wishing we had more time in Dubai. If/when we are in Dubai again we will absolutely be contacting Suqlain! Highly recommend!!Dubai City & Desert Tour (with Suqlain)

If you really want to understand and experience Dubai in a local way, Suklain is by far the man. He is efficient and kind, and packs as much information into your experience as you want, answering any and all questions. Incredibly dedicated to customer experience and satisfaction. Don’t think twice about hiring him for your Dubai tour as you will not be disappointed. The price/value rating for him is off the charts! Suqlain is the best!

Squlain was very friendly and organized our tour just like we wanted! we had only half a day in Dubai in the middle of summer so I was afraid of being sick outside with my kids. but the way he brought us around was very organized so we could enjoy the new part of the city, old dubai, and interesting food, too! We fully enjoyed the tour!

My husband and I had a great experience with Suqlain. First of all, since we we visiting during Ramadan, Suqlain suggested that the best time to see the real Dubai would be in the evening. We had no problem meeting him , and his tour was very entertaining. He explained the history and showed us the places we sure would have missed on our own . Since we had already seen some of the sights on the itinerary, he adjusted it on a spot to show us places that we had not been to. We highly recommend Suqlain as a local guide. A great way to see the Dubai

Ali (as he introduced himself) was amazing! We were a group of 8. 4 of us are from the USA, our 4 friends are from SA. Whenever one travels to a foreign place there is a bit of trepidation of the unknown. Ali alleviated these concerns immediately. He responded quickly to our initial messages and was very flexible to our timing requests. He then walked us through the city, being ever mindful of our limited heat intolerance. He was extremely knowledgeable, while not being long winded. He is so obviously proud of his country, and wants to convey the wonders of his city to the traveler. He was annoyed at the amount of money our transport charged us getting to the meeting site, so he arranged are taxis back. At half the cost. Other tourists stopped and asked him questions on our tour, which he graciously answered. He is honestly a good person. We will look for him upon our return. Trip to Old Towne Dubai
