Lovely experience

Published on Jun, 2024

Thank you Noha for the lovely tour! You have been accommodating, welcoming, knowledgeable, generous, and made our time very sweet and memorable. I definitely recommend it to any one of all ages to get a taste of real Dubai and its origins.

A very pleasant experience in Dubai with Noha

Published on Jun, 2024

Very welcoming, very sincere, very helpful, she invested the few days we have to show us each and every place we can see in few days, she made a perfect programme not to miss anything from sight seeing, boat trips dinning and shopping

Unforgettable Old Dubai tour with Noha

Published on Jun, 2024

Old historic Dubai tour was amazing. What made it more exciting is Noha the tour guide. Noha was professional and well organized. She was the timekeeper so we were able to visit several places Gold souk (market), Al Bastakia area (old downtown) and sail in Abra to the other side and visit old souk. Noha recommended for us areas for shopping and souvenirs which was great. Also she recommended nice cafe for delicious Karak tea and Shawarma sandwiches. We had unfortunate experience and we highly recommend Old Dubai tour with Noha

Beautiful tour with Noha

Published on Jun, 2024

The first time I went to old Dubai was with Noha. I had never seen this old beautiful side of Dubai. She is very knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the markets there. She took us around to "little India" which is a hidden gem of beauty. We even saw baby camels! Noha gives plenty of time for us to explore on our own while making sure we are safe and taken care of. She is very accomodating to our interests if we want to spend more/less time in certain areas. The Abra ride was fantastic, knowing the rich history behind such a beautiful modern city was made even more special with Noha's input and her 20+ years of experience in tourism in the middle east. I highly recommend trying this tour out for exploring Dubai off the beaten path!
