About local Jose Gomez & Sandy Nat

Good service

Jose took us to a day trip in Dubai. We saw many shops in one day. It gave us a good idea what is Dubai all about. Sandy took us to a day trip to Abu Dhabi. The highlight of our trip was the Grand Mosque. Without Sandy’s guide, we couldn’t manage to see the place. It was so many people there. Sandy is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of this area. He is excellent!

Great insight into Dubai

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.

Excellent

Ikram met us on time and as planned, and took us on a fascinating tour as described. It was a great mixture of national and local history, and an introduction to his own life and the souks. Thank you for your time Ikram!

How about your very own private guide?

Perhaps you haven’t thought about but the best way to enjoy and explore Dubai is with a private local host. No one knows a place quite like a local who has lived there his/her whole life. Withlocals Dubai private guides can give you their insights and share their local knowledge with you, offering you an unforgettable experience.

What are the benefits of Dubai private guides?

Discover the hidden gems, experience the local culture, learn the local customs and expectations especially since you may not be familiar with Muslim countries, and visit places you would never likely see by yourself or know how to navigate on your own. Your host will make sure you have the most authentic and enjoyable experience possible!

Enjoy the authentic Dubai experience with your local host!

  • Dubai is an amazing city but it is very touristy and can be a bit overwhelming at times with all its glitter and glam but with our private guides you can really experience Dubai in a different way. You can chat with your private guide before you get to the city, so they can get to know a little bit about you and your interests and take you to the kind of places that you’d really like to see, places which may not be in any guide book.
  • It’s a personalized touch, which can make your experience all the more authentic. If you’re going to be in the area a while, it’s also a great way to get yourself up to speed on the cultural niceties. Dubai private guides will lead you to the best restaurants, cafes, shops, and all the cool and unique things to see and do in Dubai! An unforgettable experience!
