Hi there! Nice to meet you

Hello! My name is Ali Abbas, and I am a licensed tour guide in Dubai with over a decade of personal experience living in this amazing city. I became a guide because I enjoy helping people experience the magic of Dubai and tell them its stories. I love to travel and discover places and cultures, so being a guide is the best way for me to do it!

Dubai is a surprise in itself, a beautiful mix of heritage and high tech. As a result, Dubai is nothing short of a dream come true for those who enjoy the thrill of the unknown. Whether you are looking to visit the beautiful desert dunes, the worlds tallest building, or the colorful local traditions, there is so much to do in Dubai for anyone.

Let’s explore Dubai together and experience everything it has to offer!

Ali is a great guide. He came prepared and had a water bottle for each of us. He knows a lot about Dubais history and could answer all our questions. He also gave us food and sightseeing recs which was very appreciated. I would recommend him and even book him again. Ali is very knowledgeable

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.Very friendly guide

Ali was an amazing guide! He responded quickly to my questions and listened carefully to what I wanted to do. He made sure it was all possible. He arrived early for both tours (I booked him for two days) and his car was super clean and comfortable. He’s an excellent driver too. Would highly recommend seeing Dubai and/or Abu Dhabi with Ali!Fantastic guide and driver

It was easy to work with Ali in terms of booking and planning a day of sightseeing. He was very accommodating, flexible, and helpful with our last minute decision to book a tour. He picked us up on time, and was very willing to work with our schedule. Ali was very engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly loved showing off the Dubai. In addition to the sites we asked to see, he also took us to numerous other sites, and told us about everything we passed on the way during our 11 hour tour. We are grateful to have connected with him, and benefited greatly from his knowledge. We enjoyed our time with him, and highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn more about Dubai.

Ali is an exceptional guide. He expertly navigated us through the historic streets of old Dubai, offering captivating insights into the city's evolution. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling made the tour truly enjoyable. Ali's recommendations in the bustling Souk were invaluable. What truly sets him apart is his incredible passion for his job and his great sense of humor. This private tour provided a unique perspective on Dubai, and we very much recommend Ali. We can't wait to book with him another of his tours in the near future. Thank you, Ali, for an unforgettable experience!Exceptional Tour Guide Experience
