Architecture lovers, rejoice! Dubai is an architectural paradise and for those that love admiring complex buildings with one of a kind design, this tour is what you need. Take a look at the breathtaking skyline and the architectural gems and skyscrapers that decorate it.
Want to know how Dubai transformed from a desert to a global destination city? Or how Dubai used to look? I know all the answers and more! Join me on a private tour to discover the origins of Dubai as we explore the Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood. Visit the souks, and enjoy an abra ride!
We learned a lot of new things, e.g. that there are 99 different types of dates in Dubai, that Dubai used to be a resting place for pilgrims to Mecca, that the Persians brought spices to the Arabian Peninsula and that despite different cultures we can laugh about so many things together. Sandy stepped in for Scruthy as she had just had a baby but it was a perfect handover. Sandy is a fun, spirited and expert guy full of authentic stories about life in Dubai and lots of helpful tips about how to navigate the city. We enjoyed every minute with him! Thank you so much Sandy🥰

Fantastic tour and brillant tour guide
We booked a tour with Melwyn and was really impressed. His knowledge of Dubai was excellent and was a really lovely person. Melwyn really took the time to explain about Dubai and its history and we learnt a lot. There's a lot more to Dubai than the hotels and beaches. I would throughly reccomend Melwyn and this tour if you want to know more about Dubai with a fantastic tour guide. Thanks Melwyn! From Vanessa and Andy

Very friendly guide
Ali is a very friendly guide who knows a lot about the history of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. He was on time at the at the meeting point. The tour through the souks of Dubai was really interesting and included visiting a coffee museum, having bites of local food at the market and going to a spice shop. We would fully recommend Ali.
